One of the most difficult materials we have handled wasn’t coal. It was dried leaves.
In a project executed for Sun Pharma, the material had an extremely low bulk density of around 80–100 kg/m³.
And that creates a very different conveying challenge.
Low-density material means much higher material volume for the same TPH. Add changing material characteristics, and suddenly feeding behaviour, volumetric capacity, containment, and flow consistency become critical design parameters.
This is why conveyor selection should never begin with TPH alone.
Two materials may have the same mass flow rate and still require completely different conveying solutions.
Understand the material first. Engineer the conveyor second.
Because unusual bulk materials rarely fail on capacity alone—they fail when their actual behaviour is underestimated.
