Every year, well over 100 tests are carried out on more than 250 raw materials and subjected to detailed analysis. After careful preparation, the resulting data is made available to our customers. The insights gained from this are directed straight into the application-oriented development of machinery and systems for bulk handling.

The bulk material laboratory attached to the Technology Centre is superbly equipped, and carries out measurements and evaluations of the following:

Bulk density
Compacted density
Consistency
Slope angle
Grain size analysis (using screen analysis or dynamic image analysis)
Microscopic evaluation
Moisture determination
Determination of various climatic influences
Shear testing
Dynamic fluid energy
Wall friction measurements with different surfaces
Ventilation behaviour
Ability to compact
Air permeability

All the values obtained in the AZO Technical Centre and the bulk solids laboratory are recorded precisely in the AZO bulk solids database. The properties of around 10,000 raw materials have now been documented. When carrying out project planning for a plant, it is always the most recent data that are accessed. The highly realistic conveying, dosing and screening tests and the results from the laboratory are linked to the customer projects in the database. Using the comprehensive product, testing and project data coupled with 70 years of experience in plant engineering, AZO can be sure of delivering the ideal configuration for whatever task the customer has presented.
