Chain-Vey Testing Lab

Validate Performance. Optimize Parameters. Engineer with Confidence.

Specifying conveying equipment requires balancing product integrity, throughput requirements, and system integration. Our testing lab provides empirical data on how your specific material behaves in our Chain-Vey system—eliminating assumptions from your equipment selection process.

Benefits of Testing

Material-Specific Performance Characterization Product behavior during conveying depends on particle size distribution, bulk density, moisture content, fragility index, and flow characteristics. We conduct controlled tests using your actual material to determine optimal conveying speeds, chain configurations, and system parameters for your application.

Quantifiable Engineering Data Our testing protocol delivers measurable results: product degradation rates, throughput capacity at various speeds, and power requirements. You’ll receive data you can use for process modeling, capacity planning, and integration into your overall system design.

Product Integrity Verification The Chain-Vey tubular design minimizes mechanical stress on friable materials. We quantify breakage rates and document product quality retention—giving you defensible data for validating equipment selection against your quality specifications.

Sanitation and Cleanability Assessment For food-grade and pharmaceutical applications, our CIP-compatible design is critical. Testing demonstrates cleaning cycle effectiveness, product carryover between runs, and validates that the system meets your sanitation protocols and regulatory requirements.

Risk Mitigation for Capital Projects Generate the performance data you need to support capital appropriation requests, validate design assumptions, and reduce project risk. Testing provides empirical evidence that the specified equipment will meet process requirements and performance targets.
