Martin Engineering GmbH
About us
The MARTIN ENGINEERING Corporation was founded in 1944 in Neponset, Illinois, USA, and is currently one of the world's leading companies providing solutions for bulk material handling and the optimization of conveyor systems.
Along with the production and sales of a wide range of products, Martin Engineering is the leader in the area of conveyor belt inspection. Under the name “Walk The Belt” (WTB), highly qualified specialists inspect all of a conveyor system's components and provide the customer with a final written status report containing all weak points and the corresponding means of optimization, which can then be realized and implemented by Martin Engineering depending on the customer's expectations. If the customer desires “Walk The Belt” (WTB) program can be expanded to include the special “safety inspection”.
The German subsidiary was founded in 1987 as Martin Engineering GmbH with headquarters in Walluf near Wiesbaden. Further 18 subsidiaries are worldwide located in all major markets. Dealer representations exist in numerous countries of Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Near East. Additional information can be found at www.martin-eng.de.
Products
CleanScrape Primary Clenaer
The CleanScrape Belt Cleaning System introduces a revolutionary innovation in belt cleaning technology. • Efficient & effective performance • Lower maintenance as compared to traditional cleaners • Safe for belts • Reduces operating costs CleanScrape is installed diagonally across the discharge pulley and forms a three-dimensional curve. The cleaner incorporates a matrix of carbide tips and is tensioned across the belt in a specified angle. Despite an extremely low contact pressure between belt and cleaner, any stuck material is removed very efficiently.
Transfer Point Products
TRANSFER POINT SOLUTIONS (1) BELT CLEANING Belt cleaners ensure minimised carryback, reduced unscheduled downtime and lower maintenance costs, as well as extending equipment life. (2) BELT SUPPORT For an effective, minimum-spillage transfer point, it is essential that the belt’s line of travel is stabilised with proper belt support in the load zone. (3) SEALING SYSTEM A crucial requirement in any transfer point designed for reduced spillage and high efficiency is an effective sealing system at the edge of the belt. (4) BELT TRACKING Belt tracking must be controlled before spillage can be eliminated. (5) TAIL PULLEY PROTECTION Pulley protection ploughs are installed to remove lumps and stray objects before they can damage the pulley or belt. (6) DUST MANAGEMENT Airborne dust is a common problem in bulkmaterials handling operations. When both material spillage and airborne dust are controlled, the operation is cleaner, safer and more productive.

Foundations for Conveyor Safety Book
For the first time ever, you'll be able to calculate your Return On Conveyor Safety™ with our compilation of worldwide best practices. Conveyors are one of the best productivity-enhancing tools available, but conveyor injuries cost employers millions of dollars annually. The main hazards related to belt conveyors are mechanical, including moving components that can cause damage by entrapment in nip points, abrasion and burns, as well as pinching zones that can cause damage by shearing and crushing. All of these hazards are preventable with the right training, preparation and safety precautions. Because of the size of their material cargos, the speed of their operation, and the amount of energy they consume and contain, conveyors have shown to be a leading cause of industrial accidents, including serious injuries and fatalities. In the last 10 years, safety has come to the forefront. Governing bodies are expanding regulatory pressures and requirements and enforcing large fines for violators. Martin Engineering works side-by-side with experts in all the industries we serve worldwide who are fully committed to the safety of their employees. These relationships, developed over the last 70+ years, have given us a unique perspective on the role that conveyor safety has in a company's success. We've gathered this collection of worldwide best practices together in a single resource, to demonstrate the methodology behind calculating the Return On Conveyor Safety™ so you can quantify the true value of conveyor safety. The Foundations™ for Conveyor Safety book is the world's first collection of worldwide best practices and joins our Foundations™ series of books and seminars. This comprehensive 300+ page textbook is devoted exclusively to conveyor safety.
N2® Position Indicator
REMOTE MONITORING FOR BELT CLEANERS From Your Mobile Device (Android & IOS) or computer The intuitive N2® Position Indicator allows for remote monitoring of the belt cleaner blade via Martin's proprietary mobile app, indicating remaining blade life, notifying when re-tensioning or replacement is required, and warning in the event that the blade is no longer in contact with the belt.
Air Cannons
When bulk material builds up inside kilns, silos, bins, hoppers, chutes and other equipment and stops flowing due to obstructions and ratholes, the best way to keep it moving is with an air cannon manufactured by Martin Engineering. Air cannons are highly effective with materials like coal, cement and aggregate, especially if they retain even small amounts of moisture and become sticky. At Martin, we offer a line of air cannons that ensures you’ll find one that fits your needs, whether your application requires powerful bursts of air every few seconds to products that deliver shorter more frequent bursts. We also offer multi-valve products that discharge at up to five delivery points through pipes or hoses to accommodate tight spaces. Our technicians and engineers are available to provide expert advice and assistance on these products and all of your bulk material handling questions and problems. Please contact us today and let us help!
