KREISEL Technical centre
With the objective of continuous further improvement of our products on the one hand, and the progress towards optimal solutions for tricky bulk material on the other hand, a test plant was put into operation on the premises of the KREISEL GmbH & Co.KG in 2013.
The technical centre involves the main components of pneumatic conveyor systems with measuring devices, as well as other components for conveying, dosing and dedusting.
We at KREISEL emphasize the high quality standard of our research work and guarantee, for external test trial with this system, a binding academic standard. A testing laboratory for bulk solids completes the technical centre, and allows you to test and optimize your conveyor options before designing and commissioning the conveyor system.
The possibilities for KREISEL, customers and our market companions
- Pneumatic conveying tests
- Dedusting tests
- Experiments with bulk solids and dusts

Expansion of the KREISEL Technical Centre
The test track had the following requirements:
- Modular design as well as quickly demountable and mountable
- Use of standard parts for the course of the pipe
- Use of the conveying elements from the technical centre for bulk material
- Gentle extraction of the material from the air flow
- Measurement of the process data (pressures, volume flow and mass flow rate)
