Solution areas

Choose your process task

Each area leads to a description of the technology, the range of applications and the choice of equipment. If you need a complete line, start with the process installations.

Bulk solids process installation at a production plant
01

Process installations for bulk solids handling

Complete lines from raw material intake through to packaging filling: design, equipment selection, prefabrication, installation and commissioning from a single supplier.

Bulk solids weighing: a belt scale on a production line
02

Weighing

Mass measurement in continuous flow and in batches: belt, hopper and platform scales, plus mass flow meters. Calibration and legal-for-trade verification.

Bulk solids feeding: a screw feeder with an inlet hopper
03

Feeding

Volumetric and gravimetric feeding of powders, granulates and poorly flowing products, in batch and continuous duty, including in Ex zones.

BIG-BAG station: dust-free filling and emptying of big bags
04

BIG-BAG systems

BIG-BAG filling and emptying stations: dust-tight docking, breaking up caked material, and integration with conveying and weighing systems.

Pneumatic conveying of bulk materials: pipework with a vacuum receiver
05

Pneumatic conveying

Conveying powders and granulates through pipework, under vacuum or pressure, in dilute or dense phase, with no dust along the route.

Process control and visualisation system: a control panel with an HMI
06

Process control and visualisation systems

Line automation: PLCs, HMI panels and SCADA, recipes, batch reporting and communication with the plant’s higher-level systems.

Other process nodes

Completing the production line

The elements that most often complete a bulk solids installation, from raw material intake through to quality control.

Dust-free packaging filling lines

Filling sacks, cartons and drums with batch weight control, and no dust at the workstation.

Dust-free sack emptying

Sack tip stations for 25 kg sacks, with dust extraction and protection against contaminants entering the process.

Read more →

Raw material storage and conveying

Silos, buffer vessels, and screw, bucket and belt conveyors within the plant.

Read more →

Size reduction and screening of bulk solids

Breaking up lumps and classifying the fraction so that the rest of the line runs without blockages.
