It is critical to have confidence in the solids transfer equipment you buy. We can provide that with a full range of services including material testing, rentals, powder flow analysis, and more.
De Dietrich Process Systems offers a wide range of product testing capabilities and services in support of our powder handling expertise. All powders behave differently, and a transfer test is often the best way to size the equipment and design the system to address issues that occur during testing. Various options such as transfer tests at our facility with your material, or rental systems for testing at your site allow us to provide you with confidence in our solution and ensure the system will perform to your expectations based on careful analysis of your product and process requirements.
In-house solids testing and Powder Pump rental options help to ensure your product can safely and efficiently transfer using our dense-phase conveying technology, while helping to collect valuable data on your material’s conveying characteristics, transfer rates and dust containment. Not only will you gain confidence in our expertise prior to purchasing equipment, you also will be able to observe the conveying success first-hand. Based on the data obtained during testing and rental trials, DDPS engineers can develop a customized solution for your application.
Certain circumstances, such as highly valuable products, prevent a customer from being able to send enough material to perform a typical in-house trial. Powder flow analysis is a testing option that can assess smaller samples of your product while still obtaining high-quality data. Using a Powder Flow Tester, DDPS can record various flow properties of materials. The data collected is then compared with historical data from our product testing database to help identify the best process solution for you. Powder flow analysis is performed for all products tested in-house, giving us the ability to make data-driven recommendations while giving you complete confidence in our proposed solution.
Testing the transfer capabilities of your powder is an essential step in qualifying a solution for your process. Our solids handling test center, located in our Charlotte, North Carolina facility, provides in-house testing and demonstrations for customers to witness product trials in-person (when possible). Here, we are able to imitate similar conditions to our clients’ real-world applications.
Renting a Powder Pump system is another viable method for testing the transfer efficiency of your product in conjunction with our dense-phase conveying technology. This option is necessary for extremely hazardous or explosive materials that we would be unable to test at our facility due to their volatility. Renting a Powder Pump allows you to perform your own product tests at a pace that suits you, in the real world of your own production facility. Select sizes are stocked and available for you to put through rigorous tests (along with a vacuum pump rental if needed).
