A specialty chemical manufacturer needed a flexible, contained bulk material handling system that could support multiple product lines, cleaner transfer, and faster changeovers.

CPS designs custom IBC/bin systems built around the way your operation actually runs — from batch weighing and contained discharge to modular layouts that leave room for future expansion.

See how CPS can design a custom bin system for your operation.

When you separate the design phase from the build phase, things fall through the cracks.

At Custom Powder Systems, our Design/Build approach means the same team that engineers your solution also fabricates it. This eliminates the communication gaps that lead to costly rework, missed specifications, and delayed commissioning.

Here's why our clients prefer the Design/Build model:
✅ Single point of accountability
✅ Faster project timelines
✅ Better integration between design intent and fabrication reality
✅ Ongoing support from the team that knows your system best

Is your current equipment procurement model creating unnecessary friction?

In food manufacturing, cross-contamination is more than a quality issue — it is a safety, allergen, and compliance concern.

For facilities running multiple powder products or ingredients, every open transfer, shared container, and changeover creates another opportunity for dust, residue, or allergens to move where they do not belong.

CPS designs closed, dust-conscious powder handling systems that help reduce open-air transfer, support cleaner changeovers, and lower cross-contamination risk in food-grade manufacturing environments.

When blend uniformity matters—and contamination can cost you—Custom Powder Systems’ IBC Blenders deliver repeatable, validated results. Designed for

BATTERY SCALE-UP: FROM PILOT TO PRODUCTION

Running powders at pilot scale is one thing; running them around the clock is another.

For battery materials, we focus on keeping material enclosed, maintaining consistent feed, and making sure cleaning and changeover don’t eat the schedule.

Scaling up isn’t just about bigger hoppers—it’s about smarter flow paths, automated dosing, and containment that keeps people and product safe at full speed.

Boost efficiency with our fully automated metal powder packaging system. Dispense, blend, and feed sterile antibiotic powders for vial filling.

If your blend tests fine in the blender but fails at discharge… You don’t have a blending problem. You’ve got a material handling problem. Most “mystery variability” occurs during discharge, transfers, and drops. Fix the flow first.

Do you have a material handling problem? We are here to help.

Compacted or hardened powders can bring a production line to a grinding halt.

Our Drum Conditioners are engineered to safely and efficiently break up hardened materials within the drum — restoring them to a flowable state without exposing operators to dust or hazardous particles.

One chemical manufacturer reduced their material prep time by 60% using our custom drum conditioning solution. The result? Less downtime, better throughput, and safer operations.

Volatility is structural now. The last few years have taught manufacturers that supply chain resilience is no longer optional — it's a requirement for survival.

By partnering with domestic equipment manufacturers like Custom Powder Systems, you reduce your exposure to:
• Global shipping delays
• International trade disputes
• Extended lead times on replacement parts

We'd love to hear your approach.
