How you can use our PT Test Lab for pneumatic transport testing
The PT Test Lab is designed to help you understand material behaviour during pneumatic transport. We analyse material flowability through a series of tests and provide a full report that will empower your decision-making.

What we offer
Test before you invest
The PT Test Lab was established in the 1980s and expanded in the 1990s to increase the scope of testing capabilities. Over the decades, more than 260 different materials have been analysed and added to the materials database. Customers from around the world are welcome to send samples to the laboratory for testing – if it is moved by air, we will test it. Complimenting this offering, our R&D centre in Dania, Denmark, tests and analyses thousands of tonnes of raw materials each year. This facility specialises in predicting material behaviours when processed in applications such as in cement production. Our capabilities include R3 testing, XRF/XRD thermal analysis, calcining and emissions analysis, and pilot scale pyroprocessing.
