No air, no problem - some applications are not suited to pneumatic conveying, therefore a fully mechanical system can be used.

Mechanical conveying system

Mainly using screw feeders, bucket elevators or belt conveyors, the images on the right shows a typical application where mechanical conveying was a more suitable solution due to the space constraints.

Although we usually recommend using a pneumatic conveying system to clients we also have vast experience designing and installing fully mechanical systems.

Tote Bin Systems

One of the more common uses of a mechanical system is a tote bin system. These systems depict food grade plastic tote bins, but they can also be supplied in stainless steel.

Product is moved around this process; filled from a sack tip, blended in a mixer, and then loaded into a bulk bag for storage or transportation.

This system does appear to be more labour intense, it has however shown to be a preferred method of production for our international clients.

Tote bins can be supplied with cone valves fitted to the outlet, this technology promotes mass flow, with the ability to discharge at trickle speed for high accuracy, connects easily to any discharge station, and required no manual intervention.
