Research & development
Application-oriented research and development in bulk material handling technology – tested, optimised and focused on efficient, safe and sustainable plant operation
Efficient solutions through research & development
New materials, stricter environmental regulations and increasing efficiency requirements continuously present new challenges in bulk material handling. DI MATTEO develops technologies designed to address these demands and deliver sustainable, future-ready solutions.
Our specialists work in interdisciplinary teams, using our in-house test centre, dedicated pilot plants and realistic test environments, in close cooperation with universities and research institutes. This approach results in innovations proven under industrial conditions and supporting reliable, economical operation for our customers.
Setting new standards
In research, practical implementation is as important as the initial concept. DI MATTEO develops processes designed from the outset for industrial application, with robust construction, verified safety and straightforward integration into existing plants. This reduces technical risks and shortens development times, ensuring stable operation from the beginning.
Benefits
- Tested under practical operating conditions and recognised with multiple innovation awards: Developments derived from real-world applications and independently honoured.
- Rapid availability with process reliability: Reduced development and commissioning times, validated for industrial application.
- Customer-focused development: Research centred on materials, processes and specific project requirements.
- Sustainable benefit: Technologies that reduce operating costs and extend plant service life.
- End-to-end project responsibility: From initial concept and pilot trials through to industrial implementation.
Precision in weighing – reliable dosing with WeighTUBE®
The patented Weigh Feeder System WeighTUBE® demonstrates how research is translated into market-ready technology. It provides precise dosing even with challenging materials such as alternative fuels and remains unaffected by build-up or screw wear, ensuring sustained measurement accuracy.
Efficient separation – stable processes with the Inline Air Separator AirSEP
The Inline Air Separator AirSEP was developed for reliable separation of heavy particles within pneumatic conveying systems. The patented principle stabilises the conveying flow, improves energy efficiency and supports higher substitution rates in recovery processes.
Measurable efficiency gains through development
Continuous development results in solutions that enhance process performance: extended service life, improved separation accuracy, increased energy efficiency and greater operational reliability. Innovative materials, optimised designs and patented processes ensure technology that performs sustainably and economically in daily operation.
Innovation with added value – developed, tested and recognised
Many of our developments are patented and have received multiple awards. They are created in direct alignment with customer requirements and practical operating conditions.
Our innovations are not only patented but also validated in practice. They address real operational challenges – from precise weighing and energy-efficient conveying to wear-resistant discharge systems.
Within our own test centre and pilot installations, we simulate real process conditions and evaluate new concepts under realistic parameters. This ensures that each innovation delivers measurable value in industrial operation, including reduced operating costs, higher plant availability and stable processes from the outset.
