Test Lab

Volkmann offers material, application, and factory acceptance testing in a 750-square foot test laboratory in the Bristol, Pa. headquarters for North America. Verify smooth material transfer with your product using full size, fully operating pneumatic conveyors, bag dumping stations, and other powder handling equipment in our lab to closely simulate actual processing conditions. 

 The test lab includes all standard VS vacuum conveyor sizes, feed hoppers and accessories to handle a full range of throughput capacities. 

The test lab features (2) up to 150’ conveying lines: (1) 1-1/2” and (1) 2-1/2”. Each conveyor line can be configured with up to 20’ vertical sections to match your application layout. 

A Volkmann Vibratory Feeder is also installed in the lab to conduct dosing tests to determine material metering characteristics and expected dosing accuracy.
