Powder Material Handling

Powder Material Handling Systems are mainly used to transport materials like cement, alumina etc. Powder Material Handling is done with the help of airlift systems. During the transportation, the material does not come in contact with the atmosphere. McNally Bharat has the capability to design, manufacture, erect and commission on a turnkey basis Powder Material Handling Plants.
