Prefer to start with the operation rather than the industry?

Tiermax organizes the portfolio around eight core process challenges. Industry pages and Process Solution pages cross-link so buyers can navigate from material to problem to equipment.

Screening & Classification

Safety screening, grading, fine-powder classification, contamination removal and valuable-powder recovery.

Feeding & Dosing

Improve inconsistent flow and achieve controlled volumetric or gravimetric feeding of free-flowing and difficult materials.

Vacuum & Pneumatic Conveying

Move powders between process stages using enclosed transfer designed around material, distance and capacity.

Bag & Bulk Bag Handling

Reduce manual handling and dust with bag dump, FIBC discharge, automatic bag emptying and packaging.

Powder & Bulk Solids Mixing

Improve blend consistency for powders, granules, minor ingredients and applications requiring controlled mixing.

Thermal Processing

Continuously heat, cool or condition powders and bulk solids using equipment engineered around heat transfer.

High Temperature Powder Handling

Handle, convey, cool or condition hot powders and bulk solids using thermal screws and high-temperature conveying.

Sticky & Poor-Flowing Powder Handling

Reduce bridging, buildup and inconsistent discharge using self-cleaning screws and flexible-wall feeders.

One Process May Use Several Technologies

A complete Tiermax solution can combine bulk bag unloading, feeding, conveying, screening, mixing, heating or cooling, packaging, controls and automation. The process solution pages are starting points, not limits on the system scope.

01 Understand Identify your process requirements and material characteristics.
02 Test Validate the solution through testing when required.
03 Engineer Design and configure the optimal solution.
04 Integrate Manufacture, assemble and automate your system.
05 Validate Ensure it meets the performance and safety requirements.
06 Support Continuous support to keep your operations running smoothly.

Have a different powder-processing challenge?

Start with the process problem, not a machine. Tiermax combines application engineering, specialized equipment, controls, integration, testing and service to develop the right powder-processing and bulk-material-handling solution.

Tell us About Your Process

Tell us about your powder or process challenge.

Share your material, capacity, particle size, process objective and current challenge. Tiermax can review the application and determine the appropriate next step: technical discussion, material test or equipment proposal.

Useful information:
Material name, bulk density, particle size, required capacity, moisture, temperature, hazardous-area requirements and process drawing.
