Skivers UMD extrusion skivers offer modular design and well-engineered technology assuring strength, durability and high performance. Our skivers maintain accurate length through positive, consistent conveying.		Slab Feeders UMD slab feeders utilize friction-driven hugger belt systems for smooth product conveyance. Our equipment features variable tension control gates for monitoring material feeds and finger roll guiding systems to eliminate material damage.
Slitters & Cutters UMD slitters & cutters provide durability and precision, assuring consistent performance in your downstream extrusion process or batch-off system.		Software / Controls UMD software and control solutions keep your system operating with the efficiency, accuracy and speed that your application demands.
Sorter Systems UMD sorting systems are designed to maximize efficiency, handle larger capacities at a faster pace, and be completely modifiable for changing needs.		Spare Parts UMD keeps spare parts on hand to make sure that your systems don't go down in a time of need. We also offer onsite repair and technical assistance.
Structural Steel From Support Steel to Stairs, Platforms, and Mezzanine, UMD has a variety of Structural Steel offerings.		Tire & Wheel Systems The Tire & Rubber industry has a lot of challenges. Our equipment solves these challenges, and can improve productivity, efficiency, and throughput.
Tire Rotators UMD Tire Rotators are an integral component of our fully automated Tire and Wheel systems.		Tire Stackers / De-Stackers UMD manufactures tire stacking equipment to meet your specific needs. Our stackers are part of a fully automated system and designed to provide efficient storage of processed tires maximizing square footage on the plant floor.
Tire Weight Press UMD Tire Weight Machines provide offline dynamic balancing to assure that new tires are properly balanced before being mounted on vehicles.		Trailer Systems UMD is on the leading edge of self-contained, electronically controlled trailer conveyor systems designed for JUST-IN-TIME delivery of tire and wheel assemblies and palletized products.
Vertical Conveyors UMD Vertical Lifts provide a safe, effective way method for elevating tires without using excessive floor space.		Weigh Scale Conveyors The use of precision scales to control tread weight helps ensure a quality product, providing an additional checkpoint prior to booking.
Wig Wags UMD Wig-Wags provide non-precision, semi-precision and precision stacking. Our engineers will help you develop the most appropriate stacking system based upon your specifications.		Wind-Up Systems UMD offers both spool and cassette winding which are available for both sidewall and tread profiles. These solutions incorporate our on-the-fly spool change technology to keep the process efficient while minimizing personnel requirements and downtime.
ZonAcc © Accumulation ZonAcc positive drive conveyors provide efficient non-contact accumulation of both tires and wheels. The ZonControl feature minimizes control I/O compared to traditional systems.		What is your Need? Have a question? Let us know how we can help.
