Below you will find a sampling of the custom fabricated products we furnish to our industrial clients in a variety of manufacturing markets.

Hoists

There are currently over two hundred Mid-Western hoists in operation. The systems represent virtually all types of finishing systems from anodizing to zinc plating, conversion coatings and electrocoat paint systems. The systems use barrels, baskets, and racks. Hoist load capacities range from a few hundred pounds to over 15,000 pounds, and production capabilities over 100,000 pounds per hour.

Production lines equipment has moved from proprietary controller I/O protocols to open protocols and from wired networks to wireless networks. The task of communicating with all of the mechanical devices in a system has become more complex as extensive use of robotics has taken over some assembly line and welding tasks. Whether you'd like to access your production devices using Ethernet or extend a wired network using wireless communications, MWP understands the technologies and can develop innovative solutions that excel in all types of industrial environments.

Metal Finishing and Pollution Control

Mid-Western Processes, Inc. is involved in virtually all phases of metal finishing, including anodizing, phosphating, pickling, electrocoat paint, resource recovery, electroplating, continuous strip and tube plating, plating on plastics and chemical processing.

Our effluent treatment systems are modularized for efficient installation, and range from small batch treatment to fully automated continuous systems handling flows in excess of 200 gallons per minute. Chemical and physical treatment systems can include (as required): hexavalent chromium reduction, cyanide oxidation, neutralization, precipitation, clarification, sludge de-watering, evaporative recovery, and ion exchange. Our filter presses range in capacity from 0.5 ft3 to 50 ft3.

Mid-Western Processes, Inc. designs and manufacturers systems to handle a variety of very difficult part handling situations as well as load and unload systems. Other products are: hydrostatic level control systems that are extremely accurate and unaffected by oils, foam and solids; control panels; the "Barrel-Aire" connector system, which allows the running of rotating barrels and racks in the same process line. The unit functions automatically and eliminates any electrical hazards.
