What we do for you

We support your project from the first idea to the finished plant, as your consistent point of contact.

Consulting

We analyze your plant, develop optimization scenarios, assess feasibility and ensure CE conformity, so you can make well-founded decisions.

Through an objective assessment of existing plants and planned measures, we create transparency and highlight economically sound optimization potential.

Expertise

We have the know-how

Bulk materials are as varied as the processes they go through. We know both.

Explosive

Certain bulk materials such as coal dust, lignite, solid sulfur, wood dust, synthetic resins or sugar are combustible and pose an explosion risk when airborne. CEC implements the necessary explosion protection both for individual plant components and for the entire production facility, across all processing stages.

Fragile

Nougat pillows, breakfast cereals, catalysts, pastilles or perlite lose their shape and grain size if handled improperly. Damage during production contaminates plant components, jeopardizes recipe compliance and increases the reject rate. CEC ensures that sensitive bulk materials remain intact throughout every processing stage.

Unpredictable

Recycled material, refuse-derived fuels, bone meal, silicon or reject material are bulky, abrasive or wear-inducing and often occur as a mixture of different shapes and sizes. They tend to cake and tangle, can clog plant components and block processes. CEC has mastered the even conveying and storage of these unruly materials as well.

Aggressive

Fertilizers, ashes, sewage sludge, nickel catalysts and salts chemically attack machine surfaces and plant components. CEC has the know-how to safely store, dose, convey and process chemically aggressive and toxic substances.

Adhesive

Titanium dioxide, chalks, FGD gypsum, rapeseed, animal meal or salts stick to silos, dosing equipment and conveying systems, undermining process reliability and increasing the reject rate. CEC ensures that even poorly free-flowing, sticky and caking materials are conveyed and dosed with precision.
