Mechanical handling equipment for efficient and effective bulk material movement
Many kinds of mechanical conveying systems are available and are used according to the various needs in dry material processing operations. Selecting the best mechanical conveyor for an application is essential to processing success and for business profits. Mechanical conveyor systems, for instance belt conveyors, (flexible) screw conveyors, vibrating conveyors, bucket conveyors (and elevators), aero-mechanical conveyors, spiral conveyors and cable & tubular drag conveyors are often the lifeline to a company’s ability to effectively move its bulk product in a timely fashion. This Technology Zone offers an insight into the latest innovations in mechanical conveying solutions for dry material processing industries.
What is an Air-Gravity Conveyor?
