Thomas & Muller - Materials Handling and Conveying Equipment

Thomas & Muller Systems Ltd. has over fifty years of experience in the design, engineering and fabrication of custom mechanical bulk materials handling and conveying equipment.

Over the years we have gained invaluable experience and knowledge that we are able to draw on when designing new equipment and systems. We also work with customers on how to correct, change or improve their current systems or equipment, when handling their materials, to improve the service life of the equipment. We also repair damaged and worn equipment when cost effective.

Thomas & Muller 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.

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.

SCREW AND SCREW FEEDERS

Or range of screws and screw feeder products include:

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

BELT CONVEYORS

It is one of the cheapest ways to move material long distances and there is virtually no degradation of your product caused by conveying. The conveyor can have changes in elevation and the material can be visible on the belt while being conveyed.

Belts can be loaded virtually any place along the belt, it can have metal separators designed in, as well as "trippers" to unload the belt almost any place.

Weigh belt sections can be added for continuous product weighing. Belt conveyors can pivot at one end allowing the discharge to be moved over an arc (radial stacking). Incline belts can have cleats added to the belt to stop product roll back.

JACKETED CONVEYOR HOUSINGS

Most jacketed housings have baffles in them for the control of the fluid running through them. Great care is taken with the baffle design and placement to make sure that the fluid path does not leave any dead spots in the jacket. When the jacket is for the purpose of fluid containment only coming from a perforated housing then baffles are not used.

ENGINEERING CONSULTING

With our decades of background and first hand experience in the field of mechanical bulk materials handling and conveying to draw on, there are few applications that we would not be able to help you with.

Our services can start with consulting with you on feasibility of new design, sizing, providing design and engineering to fixes or upgrading of existing equipment that is undersized or not working, and fitting equipment into existing spaces, etc. Our consulting can be just for sizing and specifications or follow through design, engineering, and fabrication of the equipment.

As many of our customers have found, the lowest price does not always buy you a vendor with the knowledge and ability to provide you with equipment that will work reliably without costly down time. Our reputation has been built on our ability to completely understand what our customers want and to ask all of the necessary questions about the products in order to select the correct equipment sizes and horse power etc.
