What does the work actually look like? One week you're running time studies on a line to find where it's losing speed. The next, you're doing failure analysis on a machine that didn't hold up, or risk analysis on a brand-new concept nobody's built before. Then you're on the shop floor with our team, prototyping it for real.

At 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐨 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭, we design and build custom equipment for the food industry — process, inspection, and conveyance — and our engineers get their hands on all of it.

If you like solving problems that don't have a textbook answer, let's talk. 𝐡𝐫@𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐞𝐦.𝐜𝐨𝐦

If you want to bring your ideas to life, come find us at 𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐎 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥.

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐨 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 will be on the show floor at 𝐌𝐜𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟖–𝟐𝟏. We design and build custom equipment for the food industry — process, inspection, and conveyance — a small, close-knit crew in South Elgin, IL building precision stainless steel machines.

We're adding a 𝐦𝐢𝐝-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫 who'll work directly with our team and decision makers to turn ideas around fast. No big-corporate red tape: your concept can go from idea to a real, working machine in days or weeks, not quarters. You'll have a direct hand in what we build — and be a true driver in the company.

When your production line needs to keep moving, every transfer matters.

Delays, unnecessary manual handling, and inconsistent product flow can slow down an entire operation.

The Straight Incline Conveyor with 18" Nose-Over provides a reliable, controlled path for moving products from Point A to Point B, helping streamline material flow across processing, packaging, inspection, and transfer operations.

Built around your product, speed, layout, and application requirements, it delivers more than movement—it supports a more efficient production process.

Reliable conveying. Efficient movement. Built for your process.

In food processing, equipment has to support more than production. Cleanability, durability, access, and day-to-day operation all matter in how equipment is designed and fabricated.

Chicago Metalcraft builds stainless steel equipment and components for food-processing applications, supporting projects from design through fabrication and assembly.

From conveyors and equipment frames to platforms, guards, and fabricated components, our team works around the application and operating environment.

Behind every weld is a skilled hand, precise technique, and attention to detail.

A quality weld is more than a clean appearance. It must deliver the strength, precision, consistency, and durability required by the application.
In industrial and food-processing environments, every weld contributes to equipment reliability, structural integrity, and long-term performance.

The real test of a weld isn’t appearance. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠.

𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰.

The right conveyor does more than move product. It supports consistent product flow, efficient handling, and a smoother production process.

Chicago Metalcraft designs and fabricates stainless steel conveyor systems around your product, layout, throughput, and process requirements.

From food processing and packaging applications to custom production needs, we build conveyor solutions designed around the way your operation runs.

Heavy loads require more than just a stronger belt. They require the right drive strategy.

When loading conditions push a conveyor to its limits, distributing driving force across multiple points can help improve traction, maintain controlled belt movement, and support consistent material flow.

The 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐨 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 is designed for demanding applications where load, distance, and operating conditions require additional driving capability.

Because reliable material handling starts with engineering the conveyor around the application, not forcing the application to fit the conveyor.

Clean-looking isn’t the same as hygienically designed.

Hygienic conveyor design goes beyond what you can see on the surface. Weld quality, cleanable construction, accessibility, material selection, and minimizing areas where water or product can collect all matter in demanding food-processing environments.

The details designed into the equipment can directly affect cleanability, sanitation, maintenance, and long-term performance.

Engineers and plant managers: What’s the most overlooked detail when specifying a hygienic conveyor?
