Highly customized storage, transport and dosing systems for powders
Comec Engineering develops highly customized Powder Raw Materials Storage Systems such as Silos, BigBags Unloaders, and Bag Splitters, all designed to precisely match your consumption rates and production demands. Each installation is carefully engineered to ensure reliable material handling, controlled flow, and seamless integration within the overall production process.
In addition to storage solutions, we design and supply state-of-the-art transportation systems including Aeromechanical conveying, Pneumatic conveying, Screw conveyors, and high-precision Weighing Hoppers. These systems are developed to guarantee accurate dosing, consistent transfer rates, and optimal coordination between different production stages.
Self-cleaning oriented technology, flexibility in batch management, and ease of serviceability are among the key features that distinguish our solutions. We focus on minimizing product residue, reducing downtime during changeovers, and simplifying maintenance operations to ensure long-term efficiency and operational continuity.
Our solutions include:
- Silos and storage tanks for powders, engineered for safe and efficient bulk handling
- High-precision weighing hoppers for controlled batching and formulation accuracy
- Big Bag unloading stations designed for safe and ergonomic operation
- Bag splitters for controlled emptying and dust containment
- Aeromechanical conveying systems for gentle and efficient material transport
- Mechanical conveying systems for robust and reliable transfer
- Screw conveying solutions tailored for precise and continuous material feeding
By combining mechanical durability with intelligent plant design, Comec delivers complete Powder Handling Systems that enhance productivity, improve process Reliability, and maintain the highest standards of safety and cleanliness
Silos for powders, automatically loaded with a pneumatic system from a truck. Once the raw materials are stocked in the special silos, the plant will convey them from the storage area to the mixing area.
The loading into the different mixers or into preparation hoppers allows the optimization of cycle time.
The dosage of the product stored in the silos can take place via one or more weighing hoppers. It is possible to weigh single products or several products simultaneously both in the same hopper and in different hoppers.
Once weighed, the product can be easily discharged into a mixer or conveyed via a transport line to another processing area.
Big bag unloading by means of the plant managing and control software. Different powders can be emptied and transferred from the storage area to the mixing area or into preparation hoppers in order to optimize the cycle time.
According top the products that are being used during the mixer loading, the software will set up automatically all the parameters of the production process accordingly. Manual sacks emptying units may be used for smaller volume powders and for colored pigment handling.
Aeromechanical and screw conveyors have been conceived for vertical or horizontal powders and granules transport.
The fast aeromechaical transport is for short to medium distances. The slow aeromechanical transport is for long distances.
