Dry Conveying System

A Dry Conveying System is a material handling solution used to transport dry bulk solids—such as powders, granules, pellets, or flakes—from one point to another without the use of water or any liquid medium.

These systems are widely used in industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, cement, plastics, and agriculture for clean, dust-free, and efficient bulk material transfer.

• Ship Unloader:
  Efficient unloading of dry bulk materials from vessels using mechanical or pneumatic systems designed for high throughput and minimal spillage.
• Belt & Chain Conveyor:
  Durable belt and chain conveyor systems engineered for smooth, continuous transport of bulk solids across long distances or elevation changes.
• Storage Silos:
  Robustly designed silos for safe, high-capacity storage of powders, grains, and granules, integrated with dust control and flow-aid systems.
• Inline Weighing System:
  Accurate real-time material flow monitoring with integrated inline weighing systems to support process control and inventory management.
• Instruments, Valves & Controls:
  Smart instrumentation, automated valves, and control systems ensure precise operation, flow regulation, and system safety.
• Bucket Elevators:
  Vertical conveying systems using buckets to efficiently lift dry materials to elevated discharge points without degradation or loss.
• Conveyor Tripper Car:
  Motorized tripper cars installed on conveyor systems for dynamic material distribution to different storage or processing zones.
• Truck Loading System:
  Automated truck loading systems ensure fast, dust-free, and accurate loading of bulk materials into road transport vehicles.
• Temperature Monitoring System:
  Real-time temperature sensors and control modules protect sensitive materials and help maintain process safety.
• 3D Level Measurements:
  Advanced 3D level measurement technologies provide accurate, non-contact monitoring of silo contents to prevent overfills and optimize storage.
• Civil & Structural Works:
  Complete design and execution of supporting civil foundations, steel structures, and access platforms tailored to each conveying system layout.

Our ship unloader services feature durable conveyors, storage silos, and automated weighing systems. As expert heavy equipment installation contractors, Tekzone offers efficient setups for smooth, bulk unloading operations in UAE ports and facilities.
