CLE EQUIPMENT SYSTEMS are developed with regard
to utilizing the latest techniques to produce the
best conveyors and material handling, packaging,
and production efficiencies for our customer
needs.    Whether moving cans, bottles, cases,
 pallets, or packaging materials of any type.
 CLE designs, manufactories, and installs process
equipment designed for the job with our own
specialty and custom equipment. CLE DESIGN,
ENGINEERING, INSTALLATION SERVICES will fully
integrate our own or any suitable vendors
equipment to get the job done. Through attention
to detail and extensive understanding of
designing and developing systems in collaboration
with our customers every step in the project, CLE
seeks to remain a leader in its industry CLE
MISSION is to provide our customers with the
highest value services in the areas of
Engineering, Process Equipment Design, Custom
Fabrication and Installation services of
container or material conveyor systems. CLE
INDUSTRY RECOGNITION has led to repeat work over

Benefits of Inventor on our Manufacturing Process

• Building a Library of parts and assemblies that
  can be used and/or modified for current designs.
  Majority of our equipment is custom designed to
  fit the customers needs, using a library of
  parts has expedited our design process.
• Using a library has helped to formulate a
  standard numbering system for parts and
  assemblies.
• Design time has been cut by 30, using the
  library of standard parts.
• Minimal delivery schedules can lead to design
  errors, most common are interferences which were
  hard to see in a 2d drawing. This has been
  reduced greatly with Inventors modeling ability,
  and being able to see the complete assembly
  before fabrication begins.
• With the sheet metal portion of Inventor, we can
  now generate a flat pattern that is tied to the
  part and then generate a dwg file for laser
  cutting. This process has saved 40 of
  engineering time and also eliminated mistakes by
  not having to redraw a part as a flat pattern.
• Layout and design presentations to our customers
  have been very well received. With solid
  modeling, many of our customers are better able
  to discern the drawings.
• Operation and Spare Part Manuals for equipment we
  supply to our customers, has been improved by
  providing a more user friendly set of drawings
  for those who need to order parts from our
  manuals.
• Shop and field installers have a better
  understanding of the drawings. This has been
  seen in the shop by the quick assembly of
  conveyors in matter of days, that normally took
  weeks. Also the field has been able to get
  better installation drawings, with reference to
  new equipment and how it relates to existing
  equipment.
