Thomas & Muller - Bulk Materials Handling and Conveying

Thomas & Muller Systems Ltd. specializes in the design, engineering, and fabrication of custom equipment and systems for mechanical bulk materials handling and conveying.

The equipment and systems that we design, engineer, and manufacture are screw conveyors, screw feeders, multiple screw feeders, live bottoms for bins, hoppers or silos, cantilevered screws, single and double shafted pug mill mixers, blenders, dewatering screw conveyors, belt conveyors, bucket elevators, drag conveyors, bins, and hoppers etc.

We provide materials of construction, for all equipment, range from carbon steel, stainless steel (304, 316, 309, 310, etc.), hastelloy, inconel, AR steel etc. If needed, we will polish to a #4 finish with continuous welds to CEMA IV, a dairy or pharmaceutical finish. Our design and manufacturing have passed USDA inspection.

When needed we will assist in the proper selection of specialty hardfacing and apply as required to combat abrasion.

When screws or injector screws are in high heat applications we will put a baffled (water) jacket on the housing for "equipment protection". When the heating or cooling of materials is desired a baffled jacket could also be used in conjunction with either heated or cooled fluid.

When product contamination or cross contamination, sanitary cleaning etc. are concerns we design the equipment to your "wash down", cleaning standards.

CONVEYORS

The Thomas & Muller range of conveyors includes:

• Belt conveyors
• Drag conveyors
• Incline screw conveyors
• Screw conveyors
• Vertical screw conveyors

JACKETED CONVEYOR HOUSINGS

A jacketed housing is used for a variety of reasons, such as:

• To cool materials while conveying
• To maintain product temperature while conveying
• To heat product while conveying
• To protect equipment in a high heat atmosphere
• To capture and contain fluids under a perforated trough.

SCREWS AND SCREW FEEDERS

• Screw feeders
• Screw selection
• Multiple screw feeders
• Ribbon screws
• Injector screws
• Cantilevered screws

BUCKET ELEVATORS

A bucket elevator is a very economical way to elevate material, in both large and small quantities. There are several types and styles of bucket elevators. The selection of type and style depends on the material to be conveyed, its qualities and characteristics, the desired capacity and amount of lift.
