BULK SOLIDS ENGINEERING OF EQUIPMENT

Jenike & Johanson provides a custom engineering approach that best suits your powder handling requirements. Our core engineering services include:

Peer Review

Our peer reviews assess your material handling system or process design(s) from a reliability of solids flow perspective. This can be conducted on any or all components of a system such as a stockpile, silo, hopper, feeder, transfer chute, blender, etc. Peer reviews are often an integral part of project risk management.

Preliminary engineering

Our projects typically start with an assessment of your powder handling and processing needs and a review of your existing or new operating environment. We routinely conduct visits around the world with short notice to collect vital information.

Functional design

We use proven solids flow theory, accurate powder flow properties, and cutting-edge computer models to determine the most cost-effective equipment designs to ensure reliable and safe handling of your bulk solids.

Storage systems Transfer chutes

Processing vessels Feeders

Stockpile systems Pneumatic conveyors

Process modeling/prototyping

We can model all or part of a process in our modeling/prototyping facility.

Structural design

We perform structural and loading calculations using our unique proprietary methods and commercial software applications to design various bulk solids components.

Detailed design

Our detailed design engineering services may involve 3D modeling, building an equipment prototype, development of a new or unique process, or providing mechanical designs for equipment fabrication. We provide bulk solids equipment that is of high quality, dependable, and providing of a long life.

Solids handling litigation support

We have provided expert bulk solids engineering support for dozens of cases involving litigations for issues of patent infringement, liability, workman’s compensation, improper silo design, and equipment failure.
