Services
Shafted Screw Conveyors
Shafted screw conveyors efficiently transport bulk materials using a rotating helical screw within a trough. Ideal for applications requiring cost-effective, low-maintenance solutions across industries like agriculture and chemical processing. Our CEMA-standard designs ensure compatibility with existing systems while maintaining optimal conveying efficiency.
Shaftless Screw Conveyors
Shaftless screw conveyors handle difficult materials through a continuous helical flight without central shafting. Perfect for wastewater treatment and food processing applications where traditional conveyors would clog. The open design reduces material buildup while maintaining high throughput capacity for challenging bulk materials.
Bulk Material Testing
Our Bulk Solids Innovation Center conducts comprehensive material flow analysis using advanced testing methods. We determine critical parameters like bulk density, flowability, and wall friction to optimize equipment design. Partnering with Kansas State University ensures accurate predictions of material behavior in real-world processing environments.
24-Hour Emergency Service
Dedicated 24/7 technical support team provides immediate assistance for critical equipment failures. Rapid response includes component analysis, replacement part manufacturing, and process troubleshooting. Our on-call engineers minimize downtime through expedited solutions for urgent bulk material handling issues across all industries.
ASME Pressure Vessels
Custom-engineered ASME-certified pressure vessels for chemical processing and power generation applications. Designed to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures while maintaining safety compliance. Fabricated using advanced welding techniques and non-destructive testing to meet Section VIII Division 1 requirements.
