Materials Handling

Delivering integrated materials handling and processing systems from FEED through installation, commissioning and long-term asset care.

Engineering Complex Materials Handling Systems

Wright Engineering deliver integrated bulk materials handling and process systems across energy, ports infrastructure, quarrying, recycling, construction materials, bulk food ingredients and heavy industry. 

Our capability spans raw material reception, storage and reclaim through conveying, screening, crushing, blending and process plant integration - supporting challenging, abrasive, high-throughput and operationally critical applications.

We engineer systems for aggregates, cement, clinker, gypsum, biomass fuels, recycled materials, fly ash, IBA, food stocks, powders, minerals and industrial by-products where reliability, maintainability and operational continuity are essential.

Complete System Integration & Project Delivery

We design and deliver fully integrated materials handling systems, not just individual conveyors or standalone equipment. Our expertise spans bulk storage, reclaim, conveying, transfer and discharge systems for heavy industrial applications, supported by in-house engineering, fabrication and project delivery.

By combining Wright Engineering’s own engineered equipment with proven proprietary components, we create robust materials handling solutions built for harsh, high-wear environments. From cement plants and aggregate handling facilities to recycling operations and steel processing sites, our systems are designed to manage complexity, reduce risk and deliver long-term operational reliability.

Wright Engineering deliver fully integrated materials handling and process systems tailored to the operational requirements of heavy industry. 

By combining Wright Engineering’s in-house engineering expertise with a carefully selected global supply chain, we integrate proven equipment technologies from internationally recognised manufacturers to deliver reliable, high-performance materials handling solutions. 

Our integrated systems typically incorporate: 

  • ship, truck and rail unloading and loading systems 
  • material reception, storage, reclaim and recovery systems 
  • integrated material preparation systems (crushing, milling and screening) 
  • bulk conveying systems (belt, shuttle and tripper conveyors) 
  • vertical and powder handling systems (bucket elevators, screw conveyors, pneumatic conveying) 
  • bulk storage systems (silos and bunkers) 
  • dust containment, extraction and air handling systems 
  • blending, dosing, weighing and process control systems 
  • supporting infrastructure including structures, towers, buildings and access systems 

Bulk Materials & Process Applications

Our systems support high-capacity industrial operations handling abrasive, sticky, friable, fine and difficult-to-control materials across demanding operational environments. 

Typical applications include:

  • Raw fuel feed systems 
  • Ship-to-shore conveying systems 
  • Bulk import terminals 
  • Cement & clinker handling 
  • Quarrying & aggregate processing 
  • Crushing & screening systems 
  • Biomass fuel handling 
  • Recycling & waste processing 
  • Fly ash & IBA handling 
  • Powder & mineral handling 
  • Storage & reclaim systems 
  • Process plant infeed systems 
  • Transfer point optimisation 
  • Dust extraction systems

What Our Clients Say
“Wright Engineering took a Pro-Active approach to the planning and execution of our site activities in compliance with client specific & industry wide requirements.” Adam Bradwell Project Manager, Lafarge Industries
Where it all begins

Our State of the art facilities

Our facilities have been purpose-built and developed over decades to support specialist engineering work across multiple industrial sectors. Shaped by experience rather than trends, our workshops are configured for complex, bespoke projects that demand precision, control and skilled craftsmanship. 

Experienced engineers, fabricators and craftsmen work within a flexible environment focused on quality over volume. This approach allows us to adapt to evolving project requirements, maintain exacting standards and deliver engineered solutions built to last.

Quality, Reliability & Operational Performance

Quality assurance is embedded throughout every stage of Wright Engineering’s design, engineering, fabrication and project delivery processes. 

Operating within fully integrated ISO 9001 quality management systems and Execution Class 4 (EXC4) manufacturing standards, we maintain strict control over design coordination, fabrication quality, installation standards and final system performance. 

This ensures every materials handling system is delivered safely, reliably and in full compliance with demanding industrial operating environments and performance requirements.
