Test Facilities

Our new test facility is fully equipped with flexible screw, aero mechanical and vacuum conveyors, as well as bulk bag fillers and dischargers. So we can advise without bias on the right type of conveyor for your particular product, process application and layout restraints. Wherever possible, we simulate your site conditions in terms of conveyor length, flow rate and angle of lift. Loan equipment is also available if you wish to carry out extended trials at your own site.

We have a database of product conveying trials logged over thirty years, taking the guesswork out of assessing flow rates and expected performance. If you are not able to witness a trial, we can send you a video with a full test report and recommendations.

In compliance with COSHH regulations, all product sent for testing must be accompanied by a material data form, which you can download at www.hse.gov.uk/coshh/.
