Aggregates & Custom Material Handling Solutions
Screening, cleaning, and conveying for dense abrasive streams — and fully custom equipment for material handling problems no catalog machine solves.
Sherbrooke OEM engineers and fabricates aggregate processing systems — screening, de-stoning, and conveying of crushed stone and recycled aggregate — as well as fully custom handling equipment for the wood products, pulp and paper, and mines and quarries sectors. Every machine is designed per project, fabricated in materials from mild steel to CHT 400 wear plate and stainless, and integrated with controls and installation by the same in-house team in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
How a Custom Project Works
- Pre-design. We define the material profile, throughput, building constraints, and integration points with your existing plant.
- Engineering. Layouts and detailed mechanical, structural, and electrical designs are developed against the project criteria.
- Fabrication. Equipment is built in our 60,000 sq ft Sherbrooke plant, in steel grades matched to the duty.
- Controls. Automation and instrumentation are designed and built in-house, integrated with your plant systems.
- Installation & commissioning. Our crews install, commission, and tune the system to performance.
- Support. Parts and field service follow the machine for its working life.

Aggregates & Custom Solutions — Frequently Asked Questions
What aggregate processing problems does Sherbrooke OEM solve?
Typical aggregate applications include cleaning recycled aggregate recovered from C&D fines, removing light contaminants such as wood, plastic, and paper from crushed stone, scalping and classifying quarry and pit material, and conveying dense abrasive product through plants with equipment fabricated in wear-resistant steel.
What does a custom equipment project look like?
Custom projects start with pre-design: defining the material, throughput, building constraints, and integration points with existing equipment. Engineering then develops layouts and detailed designs, fabrication is done in-house in Sherbrooke, and the same team handles controls, installation, and commissioning. One supplier remains accountable from first sketch to running system.
Which industries beyond recycling does Sherbrooke OEM serve?
Sherbrooke OEM has designed and built handling, screening, and sorting equipment for the wood products, pulp and paper, and mines and quarries sectors since 1997. The same heavy-duty design philosophy — impact-rated conveying, abrasion-resistant materials, and conservative drive sizing — applies across these industries.
How are light contaminants removed from aggregate?
Density-based equipment does the work: de-stoners and air separation stages exploit the weight difference between stone and light contaminants, ejecting wood, plastics, paper, and film from the aggregate fraction. Combined with screening into controlled size ranges, this produces a clean, salable recycled aggregate.
Have a handling problem without an off-the-shelf answer?
That's the work we like best. Describe the material and the constraint — our engineering team will design around it. Engineered and manufactured in Sherbrooke, QC, serving Canada and the United States.
