A central conveying system automates the transport of plastic resin from bulk storage to individual processing machines across your factory floor. Streamline Eco Tech designs and manufactures complete central conveying solutions for injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion facilities.
What Is a Central Conveying System?
One central pump station serves up to 50+ machines, pulling resin from silos, bulk bags, or storage bins and delivering it to machine hoppers on demand via a vacuum-driven pipeline network.

- Material receivers — Mounted on each machine with level sensors
- Piping network — Stainless steel or aluminum with long-radius bends
- Central control panel — PLC-based with touchscreen HMI
- Dust collection — Central filter station
