What is bulk material?
Ebbecke Verfahrenstechnik AG processes bulk material with high precision. This is a granular or lumpy mixture that is in a pourable state.
Types of bulk material
- Building materials: topsoil, sand, gravel or cement
- Raw materials: ore, coal or road salt
- Food: cereals, sugar, salt, coffee or flour
- Pigments, fillers, granulates or pellets
Bulk goods are often stored in silos or bunkers due to their material properties. Depending on the properties of the material, a distinction is made between free-flowing and cohesive bulk solids.
