Powder Handling Processes
At Mespo, we specialize in processes and technical solutions for the safe and efficient handling of powders, granules, and other bulk materials. We cover the entire process line—from discharging and conveying raw materials to dosing, blending, screening, and filling of the final product.
Our solutions are deployed across the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, where stringent demands are placed on product quality, operational reliability, hygiene, and work environment standards.
Our Process Areas
Discharging
We provide solutions for the controlled and efficient discharging of big bags, sacks, and drums, among others. Selecting the optimal discharging system is vital to ensure a stable material flow and minimize product loss and operator exposure.
Pneumatic Conveying
Powders and granules can be transported efficiently through production plants using pressure or vacuum conveying. Pneumatic conveying systems offer high flexibility in plant layout and can seamlessly interconnect diverse process steps.
Powder Dosing and Weighing
Precise dosing is critical when various raw materials are integrated into a specific recipe or process. We deliver both gravimetric and volumetric dosing solutions engineered for diverse production requirements.
Powder Blending
Powder blending can be executed both in batches and continuously. The choice of solution depends on factors such as the product, formulation, capacity, and standards for quality, hygiene, and cleanability.
Lump Breaking
During storage and transport, powders and granules can form lumps or agglomerates. Lump breaking re-establishes a consistent product flow and ensures process stability without exerting unnecessary mechanical stress on the material.
Screening
Screening is utilized for fractionation, elimination of lumps and foreign particles, and control of particle size distribution. We work with various screening principles depending on the product and process specifications.
Filling
Filling powders, granules, and pellets into sacks, drums, and big bags requires a precise focus on accuracy, product containment, and safe handling.
Containment and CIP
When protecting both product integrity and operator safety, containment is an essential element of process design. Integrated CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems enable automated, validated, and efficient plant sanitation.
From Single Processes to Complete Solutions
At Mespo, we view individual processes as integral parts of an integrated production flow. Consequently, we provide standalone process units, complete sub-systems, and end-to-end engineering of turnkey process plants.
We combine deep process expertise with components, machinery, and equipment from leading specialized suppliers to engineer solutions tailored to the specific product, required throughput, and production standards.
