The Industrial Equipment sector refers to a wide array of sectors from simple heavy machinery, mobile and stationary, to the large scale construction and manufacturing industry. The sectors are divided into two categories. Those that require high maintenance and reliability, and those that require minimal handling and maintenance, but can perform their tasks with high efficiency. These include refrigeration appliances, industrial pumps, power generating equipment, water pumps, air conditioning systems, diesel generators, industrial motors, electrical motors, and many other pieces of equipment.
A wide variety of industrial equipment is available that can be used for almost every type of job that needs to be done. For example, you may need a dust collection system to collect small particles in the manufacturing process, so you can use these systems at the factory, or you might need vacuum trucks for hauling away material during the manufacturing process. The dust collection systems and industrial equipment needed will depend on the nature of the manufacturing process, as well as what part of the manufacturing process is involved.
In the industrial manufacturing industry, the term “standard equipment” means a machine, product, or process that is used on a regular basis throughout the industrial manufacturing industry. This could mean a particular brand of tool that is used on thousands of different jobs every day. It could mean a type of industrial vacuum that has been used for years in the manufacturing industry. Standard equipment in the industrial manufacturing industry would also mean machines such as compressors and rollers that have been in use for decades, or a piece of machinery such as an industrial grinders that has been used since the 1950’s.
What about the word “integrated”? This basically means that more than one piece of equipment is used in the creation of a product. An example of this would be the assembly line, where multiple pieces of industrial machinery are used to create a final product. Some examples of integrated industrial machinery would include a CNC router that is used to join different parts of the frame together, or a CNC plasma cutting machine that cuts individual pieces from a large sheet of material.
In the chemical industry, this definition is not specific enough because most chemical plants make their own small turbine generators. They do not need to purchase standard equipment for this purpose because the generator is usually a smaller scale version of the large turbine generators that are used in chemical plants. A chemical plant might also use other types of energy sources to produce power, such as wind turbines, which is much more environmentally friendly and would cost less than electricity.
These are just two examples of what industrial equipment means. Now let’s take a look at what some other examples might be. A pump is used in water treatment plants to move large amounts of water through the plants in a short amount of time. A drill is used to bore into underground formations and extract liquids or other materials. A milling machine is used to cut materials into smaller pieces.
One type of heavy industrial machinery that we are not going to discuss is mining equipment. However, this is a very important aspect of modern society and it only makes sense that we are educated about it at an early age. Mining equipment can include things like trucks, shovels, bulldozers, and other vehicles. As you can see, the list of heavy industrial machinery goes on. It is safe to assume that there is a wide variety of machines that fall under this category.
You may be surprised at the wide variety of equipment that falls into this category. There are even some items that you probably thought were considered industrial manufacturing items that actually fall into a more generic industrial manufacturing category. Take for example, an industrial vacuum pump. This vacuum pump might not have anything to do with the oil industry, but it sure could if the manufacturer of the device was looking to sell it to someone in the oil industry. The truth is, all kinds of equipment can fall under the heading of “industrial manufacturing,” so it makes perfect sense that we have all these different terms just to ensure that we are clear on what is going on.
