BULK MATERIAL HANDLING – 101

WHAT IS BULK MATERIAL HANDLING? Bulk material handling is an engineering field that is centered on the design of equipment used for the handling of dry materials.

BULK MATERIAL HANDLING PROCESS The process of bulk material handling starts where the bulk material is in loose, unpacked form. The material is loaded into the machine either manually or semi-automatically by using equipment like a forklift, or bulk handling system extension.

The material is then moved to the final destination, often by a screw conveyor, if it is in powder form.

Depending on the characteristics of the bulk material and the distance between the points, different fittings may be put in a position to make the process safer and more useful.

The final stage is the offloading of the bulk material. It may be in bulk packaging bags, a storage unit like a silo, stockyard, or even a stockpile in another area.

BULK MATERIAL HANDLING COMPONENTS • Conveyor belts, screw conveyors, or tubular drag conveyors • Moving floors • Toploaders • Stackers • Reclaimers • Bucket elevators • Truck dumpers, wagon tipplers or railcar dumpers • Hoppers and diverters • Loaders and unloaders, which are mobile in nature and move the material to and fro • Storage facilities, including silos

Our engineers have designed the bulk material handling equipments to maximize compatibility and efficiency at each step.
