Mechanical Engineering

Equipment engineered for your material, process and plant, not a catalog spec sheet

TiERMAX mechanical engineering is what ends up on your floor: equipment sized and built for how your material really behaves. Every feeding, discharging, screening, mixing, drying, filling and conveying system starts with safety, then is optimized for lead time, accuracy and long-term support, so what we design keeps running.

““Safety comes first in every design we release. After that the goal is simple: shorter lead times, tighter accuracy and equipment that is still easy to support years from now.””

Custom Equipment Design Across the Full Material Handling Line

01. Custom Equipment Design Across the Full Material Handling Line

We design mechanical systems around how your material actually flows. Our engineers cover dosing and feeding, discharging, screening and sieving, mixing and drying, filling and bagging, and conveying, sizing each machine to your material's bulk density, particle size and flow behavior.

  • Mechanical design for dosing, feeding, and discharging equipment
  • Separation, screening, and sieving system design
  • Mixing, drying, filling, and bagging equipment engineering

02. Process-Specific Engineering for Demanding Applications

Some processes need more than a standard conveyor or mixer. We engineer process-specific systems, including heating and cooling screw conveyors for product temperatures up to 1,200°F (650°C) and caustic soda dissolving packages, for duties where off-the-shelf equipment falls short.

  • Heating/cooling screw systems up to 1,200°F (650°C)
  • Caustic soda dissolving packages
  • Custom bagging systems
  • Separation, screening and sieve solution

03. Mechanical Design Paired With Automation From Day One

Equipment geometry, material flow paths and sensor locations are engineered together with the control system. Because mechanical and automation engineering work in parallel, the control philosophy fits the machine and the machine is built to be automated well.

Need Engineering Support for Your Process?

From concept through commissioning, our engineers develop practical, customized solutions for your process, equipment and production targets.

04. Safety-First Structural & Materials Engineering

Materials and build specifications are chosen to exceed nameplate ratings, with safety as the first priority. Guarding, access and maintainability are designed in from the start rather than added later to satisfy a checklist.
