Global belt conveyor accessories and bulk material flow technology specialist, Martin Engineering, will unveil several new products at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 .
Developed at the company’s Center for Innovation (CFI), the latest heavy-duty accessories, from belt sealing systems to state-of-the-art flow technology, will be on display. Martin experts will be ready to provide detailed information and demonstrate how these technologies can benefit a wide range of bulk handling applications, enabling safer, more efficient operations.
Martin Engineering Director of National Sales for the US and Canada, Chris Schmelzer, said the latest technology-enabled products and services were developed and proven in some of the most demanding real-world conditions alongside customers in the aggregate mining industry.
“Trade show attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about our newest solutions, designed to support clean, safe, and productive material handling throughout every stage of their process, from the pit to the finished product,” he said.
Innovative dust and spillage control
Across bulk handling sectors, conveyor dust emissions remain a persistent issue. During material transfer, dust and spillage are best restricted in a sealed environment with controlled airflow, known as passive containment.
To better achieve this, Martin Engineering is previewing the Martin Skirtboard Liner. Installed inside conveyor transfer point skirtboards, the liners absorb impact and abrasion by creating a dam to shield the sealing system from the weight of the material load, prolonging the life of the seal.
They feature a steel plate moulded inside the urethane to prevent bond issues. The unique T-slot mounting interface allows the liner to be adjusted from outside the chute wall, eliminating the need for confined space entry.
Meanwhile, the Martin ApronSeal urethane skirting features a durable one- or two-piece dual-seal assembly, pairing a primary urethane seal with a self‑adjusting secondary outer flap to trap dust within the enclosure.
Engineered for minimal external maintenance, it performs effectively at belt speeds up to 4.5 m/s while requiring only 50mm of free belt area.
The next step in flow technology
Visitors to the booth will see how Martin air cannons and industrial vibrators can improve the material flow through a system. Production choke points — chutes, silos, hoppers, truck dumps, and stockpiles — require strategically-placed flow accessories to prevent unscheduled downtime and improve safety by eliminating manual clearing.
The N2 Air Cannon Intelligence System monitors every connected cannon several times a day. It detects misfires and plugged nozzles, measures blast efficiency, and tracks pressure and temperature to prevent downtime from clogging. A cloud-based dashboard shows system health, performance trends, and alerts, allowing predictive maintenance that reduces manual inspections and improves safety.
There is an expanded line-up of electric vibrators, which drive material separation in screening and facilitate flow in conveyor transfer points. Beyond transport, they prevent obstructions in hoppers, chutes, and silos by loosening buildup, improving efficiency, and eliminating the safety risks of manual clearing.
Martin’s latest electric models deliver enhanced power and efficiency without sacrificing their renowned durability. Engineered for excellence, Martin’s electric vibrators come with an industry-leading three-year warranty.
