SKE is recognized as a the world leading technology brand when it comes to bulk material handling solutions, with a specific focus on high-capacity and/or complexity. Our solutions are designed to cater to your unique requirements and include all forms of conveying, stockyard & disposal facilities, loading & unloading equipment, as well as various port facilities. We are able to supply individual machines or completely integrated systems.
Bulk material handling equipment can be a facility's worst adversary or its most valuable asset. The custom specifications of each unique facility, along with the properties of the material handled, make designing equipment specifically for its intended application essential. Through properly designed equipment, plant managers can often achieve the following benefits:
1. Enhanced flowability,
2. Optimized production line efficiency,
3. Greater output,
4. Better process control capabilities,
5. Reduced labor requirements,
6. Improved safety,
7. Decreased housekeeping,
8. Reduced downtime for troubleshooting and maintenance,
9. Promotion of equipment longevity.

8. Stacking Conveyors
Belt conveyors complement machines used in mining and bulk material handling systems and are employed as the main component in material transport systems due to their 100% availability.
Stackers are bulk stockpiling machines that are used to stack material in stockyards in different shapes according to specific requirements. A stacker’s function is to stack or pile material on to a stockpile for later reclamation and use - a reclaimer is generally used to reclaim or recover the stockpiled material.
Wagon and/or truck loading systems are often required within complex bulk handling systems. Wagon unloading systems often form part of complex bulk material handling systems.
Mobile Ship Loaders are specifically designed machines that are used to effectively load a vessel continuously and are generally employed in all applications where medium to high flow rates are required.
SKE provides custom, heavy-duty bulk material handling equipment and systems for a variety of applications. Materials we commonly provide handling systems for include:
Aggregates & Sand | Fly Ash |
Aluminum | Glass |
Chemicals | Gypsum & Synthetic Gypsum |
Clay | Iron Ore & Taconite Pellets |
Coal & Coke Products | Lime/Cement Kiln Dust |
Copper Concentrates | Limestone |
Muck & Dewatered Scrubber Sludge | Manure |
Fertilizers & Soil Amendments | Minerals and Ores |
Phosphates | Paper Pulp and Sludge |
Sugar | Solid Waste |
Beet & Sugarcane | Sawdust & Pulp & Wood chips |
Others |
Designing a seamless bulk material handling system relies on several factors, which can be broken down into two categories: material characteristics and site/design specifications:
1. Bulk density,
2. Angle of repose,
3. Moisture content,
4. Particle size distribution (PSD),
5. Material temperature,
6. Material fragility,
7. Special requirements such as toxicity, potential for combustion, abrasivity or corrosiveness, and more.
