Bulk Material Conveying Solutions
In the diverse industrial sectors of Alberta and Saskatchewan, from grain processing and potash mining to oilfield chemicals, the efficient movement of bulk solids is critical. Our comprehensive suite of bulk material handling equipment is designed to integrate seamlessly with the pneumatic conveying systems.
Primary Handling Equipment
Bulk Bag Unloaders & Loaders
Designed to handle “Super Sacks” or 1-ton bulk bags safely and efficiently.
- Bulk Bag Unloaders: Feature dust-tight connections and bag massaging systems to promote complete discharge of even difficult, non-free-flowing materials.
- Bulk Bag Loaders (Fillers): Enable high-speed, dust-free filling of bulk bags for storage or transport.
Airlock Rotary Valves
Often called the “backbone” of a pneumatic system, these valves serve three critical roles: metering, loading/unloading, and pressure regulation.
- Pressure Integrity: They act as an airlock, preventing air leakage while allowing dry bulk solids to pass between zones of different pressures.
- Versatility: Available in standard, sanitary (for food/pharma), and heavy-duty (abrasive-resistant for potash/cement) configurations.
Flexible Screw Conveyors
A mechanical alternative or supplement to pneumatic lines, these use a helical screw to move materials through a flexible tube around obstacles.
- Space-Efficient: Their unique structure allows them to navigate tight spaces that rigid conveyors cannot.
- Low Maintenance: The enclosed design minimizes spillage and wear, ideal for powders, granules, and pellets.
Flow Promotion & Routing Ancillaries
- Bin Activators: Tapered conical devices that use vibrations to eliminate common flow issues like bridging and rat-holing in storage silos.
- Diverter Valves: Essential for routing materials through complex piping networks, allowing a single source to feed multiple destinations or vice versa.
- Ancillary Equipment: We provide all necessary components for a turnkey system, including dust collectors, pressure blowers, vibratory bin activators, and load cells for precise weight-based batching.
Regional Industrial Expertise
We understand the specific requirements for Western Canadian operations, including extreme weather resilience and compliance with provincial safety standards. Our equipment is available for rapid deployment across Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Regina.
