Phantex B.V. – Smart Engineering for Bulk Handling, Industrial Automation, and Beyond

Phantex B.V. (formerly Spiro B.V., est. 1964) is a Dutch engineering and manufacturing company driven by smart design, robust mechanical systems, and a hands-on, solution-oriented mindset. Though compact in scale, we offer deep multidisciplinary expertise across a wide range of industries — from bulk handling to light rail infrastructure and laboratory automation.

Our strength lies not only in what we build, but in how we build it: engineered for durability, precision, and real-world efficiency.

Bulk Storage & Dosing Systems
At the heart of Phantex is our strong foundation in bulk handling solutions. We are proud to introduce two cornerstone technologies in this field:

TopLoader 2.0

A completely reengineered version of the well-known TopLoader, now featuring a powerful new drive system that eliminates chains and minimizes wear. With support for bulk densities up to 2,000 kg/m³, widths up to 6 meters, and stack heights of 3 meters — the TopLoader 2.0 is designed for reliability and longevity in demanding industrial environments.

FlowFloor

A modular, stationary walking floor system ideal for conveying light to medium-density materials. Designed for easy integration into existing operations, FlowFloor uses hydraulically driven slats to automate material movement within bunkers, storage bays, and transfer points — with no need for moving walls or additional mechanical equipment.
Both systems can be tailored to customer-specific needs and controlled from a central HMI, offering seamless automation and minimal maintenance.

Sugar Industry Solutions
Phantex has decades of experience in the European sugar sector. We support sugar factories and labs with:

Precision Analyzer Equipment

Our custom-built colorimeters and flame photometers accurately determine key quality indicators such as potassium, sodium, and nitrogen in sugarbeet samples. These systems are engineered for high repeatability and can be adapted to client-specific protocols. 120 sample's per hour, 24/7, impressive right?

Spare Parts & Support

We also supply high-quality spare parts for existing machine's within the sugar industry, including filtration systems, calibration equipment, and mechanical subsystems. Our technical team can also assist in system upgrades, replacements, or complete analyzer overhauls.
From campaign prep to real-time quality control, Phantex is a trusted partner for analysis, optimization, and uptime.

Light Rail Infrastructure & Switching Systems
Phantex supplies a wide variety of products to the light rail and tram industry — with a strong presence in the Benelux region.

Our portfolio includes:

Custom Fabricated Rail Components
Trackside Infrastructure
Tram Switches (Mechanical & Motorized)
Heavy-Duty Housings & Mountings
With in-house CNC, welding, and assembly capabilities, we offer everything from precision parts to complete switch assemblies — all engineered to comply with local rail authority standards and designed for easy integration.

Goods Handling Systems – The Phantex Rhino Stretcher
For efficient loading and unloading of heavy goods, Phantex developed the Rhino Goods Stretcher — a modular, rugged solution for manually moving payloads up to 250 kg with ease.

Smart Leg Locking System: Our unique mechanical design ensures the cart locks securely into the vehicle before unloading, preventing tipping and allowing single-operator use.
Modular Add-On System: we provide custom-built modules tailored to your cargo and workflow.
This system is ideal for logistics, last-mile delivery, and service vehicles that require safe, fast, and ergonomic handling of equipment or goods.

Small by Size, Strong in Solutions
At Phantex, we believe that size doesn't limit capability. Our customers trust us because we combine depth in engineering with speed, flexibility, and a long-standing drive for quality.

Whether you need a next-generation bulk handling system, a custom-built analyzer for the sugar industry, tram components, or a smart logistics tool — we are here to support you from concept to commissioning.

Let’s build something smarter, stronger, and simpler — together.
