Bulk Material Handling Solutions

Before committing to a design or retrofit, understanding how your material behaves is essential. Flow testing allows us to measure critical properties like cohesion, internal friction, and wall friction—information that directly influences hopper angles, outlet sizing, and the choice of flow aids. By investing in testing upfront, you avoid guesswork, prevent costly downtime, and ensure smooth, reliable flow throughout your system. It’s not just data—it’s confidence in your process.

When you're building from the ground up, proper flow testing becomes the foundation of a system that works the way it's supposed to. We start by analyzing your material in our lab, then use that data to design storage, transfer, and metering solutions tailored to your product. Whether you’re handling fine powders or abrasive aggregates, we create systems that prioritize flow, minimize hang-ups, and support long-term reliability.

Every build is designed with future maintenance, cleaning, and expansion in mind—because what works today should still work five years down the road.

Problems like rat-holing, bridging, or inconsistent discharge often come down to poor design or material changes over time. That’s where retrofitting comes in. Using flow testing, we can pinpoint the root cause of issues and implement smart fixes that make your existing systems perform like new. This often includes installing liners that reduce friction and induce mass flow, allowing material to move more predictably and efficiently.

Retrofitting is an affordable way to get your systems back on track—without needing to tear everything down and start over.  Our lining systems include but aren't limited to: 

TIVAR 88 & TIVAR 88-2

AR 400

Mirror Finish Stainless Steel
