System Deliverables
Fully Automated Material Handling System
A pneumatic conveying and packaging system now moves multiple abrasive materials across production lines without missing a beat.
High-Capacity Multi-Line Packaging Integration
Bulk bag and valve bag filling came together with robotic palletizing-keeping packaging fast, continuous, and hands-off.
Abrasion-Resistant Dense Phase Conveying
Dense phase conveying was the right call here-it keeps wear and tear in check while moving abrasive feldspar where it needs to go.
Results in Action
Increased Throughput and Production Rates
The system proved its worth quickly, reaching conveying rates of up to 36,000 pounds per hour and exceeding target packaging speeds for both bulk and bagged products.
Reduced Material Waste and Improved Recovery
Automation kept feldspar losses in check by recovering more material through production and moving the needle on sustainability and cost goals.
Operational Efficiency and Labor Optimization
From bag placement to palletizing, end-to-end automation took the heavy lifting off the team while keeping production consistent, reliable, and on point.
