Technology Zones
Innovations, news, and case studies related to powder and bulk solids handling and processing equipment. The basic process technology for bulk material handling systems includes operations like moving (lifting/lowering/conveying), size reduction, mixing, separating, weighing, filling, screening, filtering, granulating, and reclaiming.
Other process equipment that is found in powder handling systems include hoppers, chutes, magnetic separators, feeders, and bagging systems.
These categories contain new technologies and developments for effectively processing and measuring powders, granules, and other dry bulk materials.
