K-Tron designs, produces, sells and supports feeders and pneumatic conveying equipment for all process industries including food, pharmaceutical, plastics, chemical, and non-wovens. With feeding, pneumatic conveying and material handling systems available from one source, processors have access to broader, more integrated solutions for their applications. Research shows that today’s process engineers and project managers prefer to acquire one integrated solution from one supplier. Tight budgets, shorter deadlines, and reduced project resources make it impractical for processors to deal with multiple vendors and then work out the interface themselves.
