powderconveying.com is the e-division of Advanced Industrial Design, Inc. Providing quality packaged systems for dry bulk materials handling since 1972, Advanced Industrial Design's specific area of expertise is engineering and designing dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems. Powderconveying.com encompasses the experience, engineering, design, and trouble-shooting capabilities in a user-friendly components based format.

We provide systems, equipment, and engineering guidance for dry bulk materials handling. In creating this site, we really had to take a look at how we ran our business, and how we implemented our guidance to others. This web site is geared at individuals who are interested in learning about these products that we provide during the selection process. Any engineered product (not just specifically for powder conveying) has many variables that must be defined in order to select the proper product. There are many manufacturers of blowers, but a Sutorbilt may fit a particular application better than a Duroflow (or vice-versa) simply due to the dimensions, or mounting options for one blower over another. Incorporating these ideas into our web site was a must.

The Product Listings page is divided into eight (8) areas of focus.

By clicking on the product image or text, you will be shown the sub-divisions of that area of focus. Notice how the navigation on the left changes to allow "jumping" to a different area of focus.

By clicking on the sub-category's image or text, you will be directed to that product's page. Once at the products page, you will notice in-page navigation (as shown in the image below).

Auto-CAD drawings and dimensional data will be shown if available. Clicking the "Request a Quote" button will check to see if you are logged in or not (you will stop at the login page if you are not logged in), and the necessary questions to determine the proper selection of the product will begin.

Further distinction of a model must be made prior to continuing. By clicking the "Add to Cart" button next to the proper product with the criteria that matches what you are interested in will add this item to your shopping cart, and...

the accessories (and lubricants in this case) that are available for the product selected will be displayed. By clicking on the check boxes, and then clicking the "Continue..." button, the selected items will be additionally added to your shopping cart.

Lastly, the shopping cart has instructions at the beginning of its page, due to the complexities associated with all of its parts. The shopping cart is intended to show a summarization of your quotation requests. The shopping cart becomes a purchase order by completing the Bill-to, Ship-to, PO Number, and Ship Via fields, and clicking the "Submit Purchase Order" button.
Please note: The quotation pricing has been edited for this demonstration. Your shopping cart will show pricing where applicable.

The shopping cart also contains functionalities to recalculate the total quotation prices if the quantities are changed. Individual line items can be deleted, and the Terms and Conditions of submitting a purchase order are readily available.

You will also notice that the number of items in your shopping cart icon at the top navigation header has changed to reflect the number of items that are in your shopping cart. By clicking this shopping cart icon, you can return to the shopping cart at anytime.
