Bulk Material Handling Equipment and Systems are used to transport, store, control, and process bulk materials such as minerals, coal, grain, ores, chemicals, and more. These systems are essential in industries like mining, agriculture, construction, energy, and manufacturing.
Types of Bulk Material Handling Equipment
- Belt Conveyors – Common for continuous transport.
- Screw Conveyors – Good for short distances and enclosed handling.
- Pneumatic Conveyors – Use air pressure to move fine materials.
- Vacuum Conveyors – Use air pressure to move fine materials.
Bulk material handling systems integrate multiple pieces of equipment to form a continuous and automated process. Common types include:
- Continuous Material Handling Systems – For uninterrupted flow (e.g., conveyors in mining).
- Batch Systems – For handling materials in set quantities (e.g., batching plants).
- Automated Handling Systems – Use PLCs, SCADA for automation and monitoring.
