Case Study: Optimizing Flow for Difficult Powders

Challenge: A food processor was struggling with inconsistent filling speeds and frequent clogging due to a fine, hygroscopic powder.

Solution: We tested the material under varying humidity and vibration conditions, and recommended a custom bulk bag discharger with agitation and massaging paddles.

Results: Downtime was reduced by 60%, and throughput increased by 35%.

Testing made all the difference—and it started with a simple material sample.
