IMS Custom Projects

August 11, 2022

IMS Company was founded on helping molders with their processing needs. From innovative new products (some brought to us by molders), to technical help with your equipment and processes, to products off the shelf – we have been there for our customers for 73 years.

Not every problem can be solved with a standard solution and not every product is available through a catalog or website. It is circumstances like these that led to the founding of IMS – someone needed a product to solve a problem, that was not in a catalog.

IMS has been involved in quite a few custom projects over these many years. These were projects that filled various needs as stated to us by our customers.

Some of those needs include:

A customer expressed a concern about machine mounted dryers swaying with the motion of the machine. IMS built a mounting fixture where the dryers are mounted on a floor fixture, and the dried material is conveyed to the machine.

Another item we’ve built many times is a takeoff box for a surge bin. These were built in all shapes and sizes, with various sizes and numbers of ports. The photo to the right is an example for a customer that required 4 ports to feed more material to their machines.

A third example is a de-dusting station. A customer was molding clear parts and wanted to reuse the regrind. Unfortunately there was too much dust in the regrind and the customer needed a plan to remove it. This unit (pictured below) utilizes a customized frame, an standard vacuum loader, and a portable cyclone de-dusting machine.

These are three more examples of IMS is helping customers with the issues they are having.

From large scale cylindrical parts to the smallest complex helixes, IMS has the full range of services to handle your project from initial product design to finished goods delivery.
