• Why Chemical Materials Are Difficult to Handle

  Chemical bulk materials vary widely, and many carry properties that complicate standard handling:

  • Particle size, density, and abrasiveness vary widely across chemical compounds
  • Many materials are hygroscopic and change behavior with moisture exposure
  • Corrosive properties require careful equipment material compatibility
  • Combustible dust demands ATEX-certified or explosion-proof equipment
  • Buildup in spray dryers and pipes reduces efficiency and increases maintenance
  • Batch-to-batch consistency is essential for quality control and compliance
  • Viscous materials, slurries, and gels resist complete discharge
• Chemical Materials Handled

  Our equipment is designed to handle a wide range of chemical bulk materials:

  • Powdered chemicals and resins
  • Granular and pelletized compounds
  • Catalysts and additives
  • Pigments and dyes
  • Industrial salts and minerals
  • Fertilizer and agrochemical compounds
  • Polymer resins
  • Viscous materials like gels and slurries
  • Liquid suspensions
• End Products Supported

  Our equipment supports consistent, accurate handling, blending, and packaging across:

  • Bagged and bulk packaged chemicals
  • Blended chemical compounds
  • Catalysts and process additives
  • Specialty chemical formulations
  • Agricultural chemicals and fertilizers
  • Electrocoated and electroplated components
  • Slurry-processed chemical compounds
  • Packaged viscous materials like gels, greases, and lotions
• Operational Benefits for Chemical Manufacturers

  Martin Vibration Systems & Solutions helps chemical manufacturers improve flow, reduce waste, and maintain compliance.

  • Reduced buildup in pipes, chutes, and spray dryers
  • Lower labor and cleaning costs
  • Reduced cross-contamination between batches
  • Improved environmental compliance through less waste disposal
  • More accurate batching and packaging
  • Reduced equipment wear from material buildup
  • Safer handling of combustible and hazardous materials

Why MARTIN®?

Our vibration solutions are built around the demands of chemical bulk material handling. Equipment needs to promote consistent flow, clear buildup in pipes and vessels, and in many cases carry ATEX-certified or explosion-proof certification for environments where combustible dust is present. Where viscous materials or slurries are involved, targeted vibration assists with settling and complete discharge without mechanical intervention.
