Powder handling and packaging is an increasingly hi-tech business. Customers are demanding ever higher levels of performance and service. Colby is meeting their demands by using advanced tools and systems to deliver products of superior design and performance.

Powder Testing

Colby understands the advantages of powder testing. Prior to designing mechanical or pneumatic handling systems. Colby typically tests for a wide range of powder properties including sieve analysis for particle size distribution, bulk density, flowability, mechanical stability and fluidisation index. Each of these parameters is carefully taken into account in the development of the design and the execution of the project.

With the results of powder tests we can utilise our knowledge & experience, resulting in better design outcomes.

Colby designers examine and test the critical properties of customer’s powders.

CAD design systems are used to produce real world three dimensional drawings from the outset of the design process. All drawings can be transferred electronically to the customer.

Colby’s design, engineering and manufacturing is of the highest quality, in keeping with our commitment to international sanitary food packing industry standards.
