We know that thorough testing is required to solve processing issues for our customers and verify that custom equipment meets the material’s requirements and that our customers are confident and familiar with equipment operation.
As part of Carrier Process Equipment Group, Heyl Patterson has the ability to test material in the full-service CPEG Test Lab. The recently updated 15,000-square-foot Test Lab provides the most extensive state-of-the-art bulk material processing test capabilities in the industry. Our test lab is equipped to run representative pilot-scale testing for every type of process equipment we offer. Access to the full line of CPEG test equipment also means multiple processes can be combined in a single test, allowing for multistep and multistage testing and the ability to recreate actual process line conditions.
Field Testing & Toll Processing
Field testing abilities are available for situations where in-house testing would not be suitable or able to match process operating environments efficiently. Test-size equipment rentals are available for longer-term testing, product development, or toll processing.
Data Analysis
Testing is worthless without data, and the CPEG test lab is fully equipped with modern diagnostic equipment and staffed with trained technicians to analyze the test results, provide recommendations, and help solve any issues. Material characteristics and behavior are tracked and analyzed using moisture analyzers, particle size analysis equipment, and computerized data collection.
Benefits of CPEG Lab Testing
- Research and evaluate new equipment designs, processes, and methods.
- Simulate operating conditions on a small scale to provide data to scale to full equipment accurately.
- Verify process design requirements to provide optimum equipment sizing to increase the efficiency of new and existing processing lines.
- Mutual Confidentiality Agreements, as needed, to respect privacy and industry secrecy.
- Flexible facility schedule to work within time constraints.
- On-site visits for your team to tour our facility and witness lab testing. Photos and videos of testing are available to send when in-person visits are not possible.
Shipping Test Material
Three cubic feet or a 55-gallon drum of representative material is required for testing. Material should be shipped freight prepaid in a returnable shipping container.
Note: A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be affixed to the outside of the shipping container. No test material can be opened or handled without proper documentation of material composition and the associated safety precautions to be taken by our staff. If you do not have a formal MSDS, a blank form can be faxed to you for completion. Test material will be returned to you upon completion of tests.
