BULK MATERIAL HANDLING SERVICES PERTH
We specialise in a wide range of areas within the bulk material handling industry, including mechanical & structural design, equipment selection and optimization of plants. Our cutting-edge technology and industry expertise enable us to optimize your material handling operations, streamline workflows and maximize productivity.
Detailed Conveyor Designs
Crush & Screen WA designs conveyors using Sidewinder Conveyor Design Software. We design conveyors of any geometry, length and drive configuration. Our services include preparing Mechanical Equipment Lists & Datasheets, Conveyor design summaries & reports Stockpile design & volume calculations.
Detailed Design Audits
Crush & Screen WA performs design audits on conveyors that are already in production to produce as-built design data. This serves as a baseline and detailed equipment datasheets are generated for maintenance & ordering purposes.
DEM & FEA Modelling
Crush & Screen WA use DEM flow simulations with a DEM package to simulate material flow through chutes. Our services include conceptual or detailed chute designs. FEA modelling is used to design and analyse structures. Our services include 3rd party design audits.
Crushing & Screening Plant Design
Crush & Screen WA designs complete Crushing & Screening Plants including scoping of upgrades.
Plant Optimization & Debottlenecking
Crush & Screen WA simulate existing Crushing & Screening Plants with Plant Designer Software to produce baseline flowsheets which is used for plant upgrades and to optimize plants.
Engineering Consultancy
Crush & Screen WA provides Mechanical, Structural & Civil Engineering Consultancy services on a smaller scale to support larger consultancies with their workload or carry out design work within a Crushing & Screening Plant.
Products
If safety and maintenance of conveyor idler rollers are important to you then this product is for you. Our unique design (Patent Pending) collapsible idler frame makes it possible to replace all 3x idler rollers on an idler frame from the safety of the walkway.
Handling large quantities with care
Bulk materials handling involves far more than simply moving materials from one place to another. You need carefully engineered conveyor systems with robust materials handling equipment to suit your specific material characteristics. Whether in a processing plant, crushing & screening circuit or loading or off-loading vessels at a port facility, understanding the bulk material handling fundamentals is critical. Whether handling coarse minerals, dry materials, fine powders, or wood chips each requires components and systems designed with precision and built for safety and reliability.
Conveyor design and system expertise
We use Sidewinder Conveyor Design Software to create solutions that convey materials efficiently. Whether you need long-distance conveyor belts or compact systems, we deliver fully engineered solutions. From detailed conveyor designs to mechanical equipment lists & datasheets, our approach ensures effective & cost sufficient bulk materials handling solutions.
Conveyor System Audits
We offer detailed design audits for existing conveyor and materials handling systems, ensuring they meet both operational and safety standards. Our experienced team conducts thorough on-site inspections and captures precise as-built data, which forms the foundation for assessing structural integrity, equipment layout, and system performance.
Our Process
Our experienced team follows a structured approach:
- On-site Inspections – We conduct thorough visual and technical assessments of your system.
- As-Built Data Collection – Accurate measurements are captured to assess mechanical layout which enables us to re-simulate & audit the conveyors with our design software. This serves as a baseline for our clients and we produce the necessary design documentation, equipment schedules and lists for future maintenance & plant upgrades.
Why It Matters
Our audits help you:
- Improve operational safety and reduce the risk of incidents.
- Support effective maintenance planning and scheduling.
- Prepare for equipment upgrades or system expansion projects.
- Identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and wear-prone areas before they become costly issues.
Plant Optimisation For Facilities
Our plant optimisation services help facilities process bulk materials to remove bottlenecks and increase efficiency. We use advanced software to simulate existing systems, identifying areas for improvement in processing and conveying. Whether you’re handling coal, iron ore, silica sand, limestone, spodumene, magnetite, copper ore or any other material, our tailored solutions meet operational demands.
Crushing and Screening Expertise
At Crush & Screen WA, we specialise in delivering comprehensive crushing and screening solutions tailored to the unique demands of the bulk materials handling industry. Leveraging our extensive experience in comminution plant design and optimisation, we offer services that encompass complete plant layouts, equipment selection, and process simulations using advanced tools like Plant Designer Software. Our expertise enables us to identify inefficiencies, address bottlenecks, and implement upgrades that enhance throughput and operational efficiency. Whether you are developing a new facility or seeking to optimise an existing one, our team provides the technical acumen and innovative strategies necessary to achieve your operational goals.
Commitment To Safety and Efficiency
We understand that materials handling equipment must not only meet but exceed expectations in safety, environmental sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Our solutions are built on cutting-edge technologies and practical industry experience. We deliver systems that are easy to maintain, efficient in transport and processing, and critical to the success of your operations.
