Our Testing Process
At Spiroflow’s US test facility, our skilled engineers meticulously evaluate material properties, flow behavior, and handling needs. Our facility is equipped with top-of-the-line equipment. This ensures you can thoroughly test your material and confirm that the equipment is right for you.
Initial Material Assessment
During the Initial Material Assessment at our test facility, we carefully evaluate the properties and behavior of your bulk materials. This process ensures that the chosen handling equipment is both compatible and effective, preventing potential issues and optimizing performance from the outset.
Pilot Testing
Pilot Testing involves conducting small-scale trials under conditions that mimic actual operations. This process enables us to closely monitor and refine the system’s performance, ensuring it aligns with your precise needs and making any required adjustments prior to full-scale deployment.
Data Analysis & Reporting
In the Data Analysis & Reporting phase, we meticulously examine the data gathered during testing. Our engineers generate detailed reports that outline system performance, highlight trends, and offer actionable insights. This step is essential for confirming that the equipment satisfies all operational criteria and performance standards.
Feedback and Recommendations
After the testing and analysis, we deliver Feedback and Recommendations to help you optimize your bulk handling processes. This includes proposing equipment modifications, operational adjustments, or maintenance practices to enhance efficiency, reliability, and overall productivity.
“We work with our customers to find the perfect equipment for your distinct operations and needs, accommodating any spatial limitations. We aim to accurately simulate your operational conditions, considering factors like conveyor lengths, target flow rates, and necessary lift angles. This ensures our solutions are custom-fit to your specific requirements.”
