Knowing with certainty how your material will perform when pneumatically conveyed or precisely metered into a bag is critical to your system’s success. To ensure our system is designed and sized for the most cost-effective method of conveying and packaging materials, we test your material for flow characteristics, filling and convey design parameters, and degradation in a real-time operational system.
Testing Dictates the Right Components & System to Move Your Material
Every type of material, no matter how common, behaves differently. Let’s say you’re pneumatically conveying and bagging flour. The type of material (soy, flax, etc.), its origin (imported or domestic), and the plant’s environment affect how the material behaves.
Preliminary material testing removes any uncertainty about your dry bulk materials’ performance and determines the best solution for handling them. This due diligence ensures your system and its components keep the line moving exactly as expected throughout their lifespan, with minimal downtime or mechanical disruptions.
Decades of Material Testing Experience
Magnum Systems has conducted material testing for decades in a variety of industries, including:
- Ag Feed & Seed
- Animal Feed & Pet Food
- Cement
- Chemicals
- Food
- Plastics
Our team’s collective experience makes Magnum an exceptional partner for material testing. Our outcomes provide the data required on material properties to design and engineer the right system for strength, durability, and performance. Magnum Systems’ material testing expertise helps you avoid the expense and inefficiency of second-guessing and retooling later.
Magnum Systems offers both pre-sale and post-sale testing services.
- Pre-Sale Testing and Equipment Demonstration
We encourage clients to utilize our pneumatic conveying and packaging testing capabilities to validate proof of concept for the best solution to handle their product. Additionally, pre-sale demonstrations allow you to identify concerns, determine customized features, and simulate real-world scenarios. They also give Magnum valuable insight into designing the optimum system for our customers’ material. We provide both in-person and video witness testing. Upon completion of the test, a complete report covering any suggestions or modifications will be generated and shared with you.
- Post-Sale Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)
We are also equipped to set up your bag-filling system at our facility for a witnessed Factory Acceptance Test (FAT). A FAT includes check-out and training on equipment operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and finalization. Our sales, engineering, and technical service staff are prepared to answer questions during the FAT visit to ensure you are confident in the equipment’s functionality and capability BEFORE it reaches your facility.
Note — All Factory Acceptance Test(s) (FAT) performed are subject to a fee, this will be determined prior to execution and included in formal proposal.
