Technology, Service and Testing Center

The Horizon Technology, Service and Testing Center leads and supports our engineering capabilities by developing innovative bulk material handling solutions. As a leader in the industry, we are continually innovating our products to enhance your bulk material handling process. Extensive testing is performed to assure the functionality, safety and performance of each new product. This on-site facility enables us to conduct product research & development and offer services including:

SMALL SCALE MATERIAL TESTING

To conduct small scale testing a minimum of one gallon of product is required along with material safety data sheets. Small scale testing includes:

• Bulk densities
• Horizontal and vertical conveying velocity
• Repose angles
• Sieve analysis and material flow characteristics

LARGE SCALE MATERIAL TESTING

Our large scale testing offers three different conveying line size configurations, full instrumentation monitoring and trending, and automatic sampling for archiving. Large scale testing includes:

• System functionality
• Conveying capacities
• Dilute phase vacuum and pressure systems
• Continuous dense phase (ConTran™) vacuum and pressure systems
• Conveying parameters
• Degradation testing

TECHNICAL TRAINING

We offer technical training to engineering, manufacturing and maintenance personnel in:

• Preventive maintenance procedures
• Troubleshooting guidelines
• Proper operational sequence
• Product specific maintenance
• Operator training
