Bag Emptying & IBC Discharge

Empty bags and IBCs without the mess.

Reduce dust, manual handling, and product left behind when emptying bulk bags, small bags, IBCs, boxes, and drums.

Equipment: Bulk bag unloaders for Super Sacs and 1,000 kg bags, 25 kg bag dump stations, IBC discharge systems, box and drum tippers, and sealed connectors.

Bulk Bag Filling

Fill bags cleanly and accurately.

Improve filling speed, control dust, and achieve consistent bag weights when packaging bulk materials.

Equipment: Bulk bag fillers, bulk bag loading connectors, weighing systems, and dust extraction.

Conveying & Material Transfer

Move material through the plant.

Transfer powders, granules, and bulk solids between receiving, storage, processing, and packaging equipment, or load trucks, railcars, and other bulk transport.

Equipment: Flexible and rigid screw conveyors, tubular cable conveyors, pneumatic/vacuum conveying, aero-slide conveyors, thermal conveyors, vibratory conveyors, bucket elevators, gate and diverter valves, and Vortex loading spouts.

Get bins and hoppers flowing.

Address bridging, sticking, and inconsistent discharge that interrupt production or leave usable material in the vessel.

Equipment: Bin activators, Air Sweeps, vibrators, vibratory feeders, and live bottom screws.

Flexible Fittings & Connectors

Stop leaks at transfer points.

Replace leaking sleeves and dusty clamps with connections suited to your material, movement, cleaning, and weighing requirements.

Equipment: BFM snap-in fittings, spigots, blanking caps, weighing bellows, custom flexible hoppers, breather socks, and Siftex sleeves and connectors.

Feeding, Dosing & Flow Control

Deliver the right amount at the right rate.

Improve ingredient accuracy and maintain consistent flow into batch or continuous processes.

Equipment: Volumetric and gravimetric feeders, screw feeders, rotary airlocks, and gate and diverter valves.

Mixing & Blending

Create a more consistent product.

Address uneven dry blends, liquid lumps, and long mixing times, from laboratory trials to production.

Equipment: Dry mixers and blenders, high shear liquid mixers, homogenizers, emulsifiers, disintegrators, and dissolvers.

Screening, Sieving & Filtration

Remove lumps, oversize, and unwanted material.

Improve product consistency and remove unwanted particles from dry materials and liquid processes.

Equipment: Sieves, screeners, deblinding systems, and liquid filtration equipment.

Grinding & Size Reduction

Get the particle size your process needs.

Reduce coarse material, break up lumps, and prepare ingredients for further processing.

Equipment: Hammer mills, fine grinders, lump breakers, and air classifier mills.

Separation, Detection & Inspection

Protect equipment. Inspect products. Recover value.

Find contamination before it reaches downstream equipment or finished products, and recover valuable material from process and recycling streams.

Equipment: Magnetic separators, eddy current separators, metal detectors, X-ray inspection, and AI optical belt and chute sorters.

Dust Collection & Air Filtration

Capture dust where it starts.

Reduce escaping dust at bag handling stations, transfer points, bins, and processing equipment. Improve existing collection systems where performance falls short.

Wet scrubbers use water or other liquids to remove gaseous and particulate pollutants from exhaust streams.

Equipment: Dust collectors, bin vents, dust collector retrofits, cyclones, filter receivers, scrubbers, and severe-duty cyclones.

Level Measurement

Know what is in your vessel.

Prevent overfills, detect low levels, and improve visibility into inventory without relying on manual checks.

Equipment: Point level switches and continuous level sensors and transmitters for dry solids in bins and silos, and liquids in tanks and vessels.

Automatic Sampling

Take representative samples with less interruption.

Collect material for quality checks when hand sampling is difficult, inconsistent, or disruptive to production.

Equipment: Automatic samplers for gravity flow, pneumatic lines, and static material.

Heat Trace & De-Icing

Prevent freezing and maintain temperature.

Protect piping and process equipment from freezing, control temperatures along process lines, and address ice buildup in roof drains and gutters.

Equipment: Britech heat trace cables, roof and gutter de-icing systems, temperature controls, sensors, and accessories.

Industrial Fans & Ventilation

Move process air and ventilate facilities.

Fumes, heat buildup, moisture, dust, and corrosive air strain standard exhaust systems.

Equipment: Backward-inclined FRP centrifugal fans, axial fans, blowers, silencers, and custom acoustic enclosures.

Dust Explosion Protection

Address combustible dust hazards.

Select protection for dust collectors and process equipment based on the material, equipment, and application requirements.

Equipment: Explosion vents, flameless venting, suppression, and isolation systems.

Ask us about coordinating a dust hazard analysis (DHA) and identifying suitable protection with our specialist partners.

Liquid Handling & Processing

Move, measure, filter, and control liquids.

Need to transfer liquids, remove unwanted solids, monitor tank levels, or control ingredient addition? We help match equipment to your liquid handling and processing requirements.

Equipment: Liquid mixers, liquid filters, liquid level sensors, liquid feeders and dosing pumps, transfer pumps, tanks, vessels, and heat exchangers.

Project, Installation & Startup Support

Get the equipment working as part of your process.

Need help selecting equipment, coordinating suppliers, planning installation, or getting a new system into production?

Support: Application review, equipment selection, supplier coordination, installation planning, commissioning assistance, troubleshooting, coordination of dust hazard analyses (DHA) with specialist partners, and coordination with qualified installation partners.
