About IR Process

IR Process is a Midwest-based process engineering firm specializing in the design, development, and integration of complete industrial process systems for customers across North America. As a division of Industrial Representatives, Inc. that has been in business since 1985, we partner with facility owners and operators to evaluate process challenges and engineer tailored solutions that improve efficiency, reliability, and long-term performance.

With decades of experience in bulk material handling, conveying, and industrial processing applications, our team applies engineering judgement and system-level insight to identify solutions that align with each facilitiy's unique operating requirements. From initial concept and system design through manufacturing, installation, and commissioning, our approach ensures that every solution is engineered to perform as intended and meet the exact specifications.

What We Do

IR Process provides process engineering services to industrial clients in the Midwest and North America, supporting projects that require thoughtful system design and reliable implementation. Our engineers work closely with customers to evaluate materials, operating conditions, and facility constraints to develop application-specific solutions that support efficient and reliable operation. Our work begins with a clear project definition and risk evaluation, ensuring that process requirements, regulatory considerations, and operational constraints are fully understood before major decisions are made. From implementation through commissioning, we stand behind our systems to help ensure they operate safely and perform as intended.

Our Services Include

Service	Description
Process Engineering	Process engineering services that support industrial projects from early project definition and front-end engineering (FEL) through detailed process and system design. This includes evaluation of process requirements, identification of risks and constraints, and development of engineering deliverables to define scope and support informed decision-making.
Equipment Design & Supply	Design, evaluation, and supply of equipment for material handling and process systems, with a strong emphasis on pneumatic conveying solutions. This includes equipment selection and specification for conveying, storage, batching, and processing applications based on material characteristics and operating conditions.
Electrical Controls Design & Supply	Design and integration of electrical controls, PLC-based automation, and batching systems to support reliable and repeatable process operation.
Design-Build & Turnkey System Implementation	Design-build and turnkey support for integrated process systems, providing continuity and accountability from engineering through installation and commissioning.
AutoCAD & SolidWorks Design	Development of AutoCAD and SolidWorks drawings to support system layouts, equipment placement, and coordination within existing facilities.

Who We Serve

We work with industrial manufacturers and processors whose operations depend on reliable, well-integrated material handling and process systems. Our customers include both established facilities and growing operations where system performance, safety, and long-term reliability are critical to success. These operations can be found in a wide range of process-driven industries, each with unique materials, operating conditions, and facility requirements. Industries we support include:
