Bulk and material handling

Bulk and Materials Handling

Delivering optimal solutions for all aspects of bulk materials handling

Across many industrial sectors, bulk materials handling plays a central role in the production process. From power generation plants to mineral processing facilities, Greenbank’s unique brand of engineering excellence is delivering unrivalled levels of performance and reliability.

With decades of experience in this field, the highly skilled Greenbank team can deliver bespoke projects and manage them from the design phase through to installation and long-term maintenance.

As market leaders in the bulk material handling sector, our fuel delivery, conveying and weighing systems, lined chutes, hoppers and vessels are in operation at plants across the globe.

Our own range of belt weighers and controllers, designed and supplied by Greenbank Terotech, are effective for all types of belt conveying, while our unique basalt and ceramic wear-protection lined piping products will extend the operational lifespan of both lean and dense-phase pneumatic or hydraulic conveying systems.

Whether clients are looking for a completely new system, or an upgrade to existing plant equipment, we can engineer and deliver optimum solutions tailor-made to meet their individual requirements.
