Conceptual & Functional Engineering

Functional Engineering of Silos, Feeders, Transfer Chutes, Stockpiles

In today’s competitive environment, just having a standard design for a silo, transfer chute, feeder, or stockpile may not be good enough. In fact, implementing a design that does not carefully consider critical bulk can lead to costs far exceeding the initial capital costs for the equipment.

• engineered to ensure reliable, consistent material flow
• designed to prevent plugging, minimize abrasive wear
• developed to purge resin volatiles or act as a dryer
• designed to maximize gravity reclaim and avoid ratholing
• engineered for flow, prevention of wear & attrition
• : review of proposed system design from material flow basis

• : model design, build, analysis, and prototyping
• : details required for system structural integrity
• : innovative equipment designs for bulk material handling
• : equipment that operates reliably with long, efficient life
