The Test Plant at WAMGROUP's Italian headquarters houses a comprehensive range of products integrated into a system that simulates real operating conditions. This system is connected to software that monitors, detects, and records performance data for all equipment, including the Silo Demo Centre.

To facilitate remote testing for WAMGROUP subsidiaries around the globe, a webcam monitoring system has been installed. The Test Plant enables developers to assess the performance and durability of new machines and equipment under real-world conditions and evaluate their operation within a plant setting.

With the webcam monitoring system and testing software, WAMGROUP’s sales and marketing teams can showcase the Group’s products in action, anytime and anywhere. Additionally, the WAMGROUP Research and Test Laboratory, closely linked to the outdoor plant, is Italy’s leading private centre dedicated to both basic and applied research on powders and granular materials, as well as the development of bulk solids handling and processing equipment.

The WAMGROUP Research and Test Laboratory supports a wide range of studies, including:
1
Behaviour of powders and granular materials when being conveyed or mixed
2
Interaction of bulk solids with container and conveyor casing materials
3
Development of new technologies and innovative materials for manufacturing equipment components for screw conveyors, dust collectors, industrial mixers, feeders, and flow intercepting valves

A state-of-the-art webcam system allows customers and researchers worldwide to remotely observe tests being conducted inside the WAMGROUP Lab.

Over the years, WAMGROUP has expanded its network of test laboratories globally, now boasting 14 labs where experts handle a wide array of products.

Testing for our customers is essential, as each process is unique and requires specialised machinery to deliver the desired results.

With nearly sixty years of experience in bulk solids handling and processing, WAMGROUP is equipped to meet even the most complex customer requirements.

Customers can request tests with stringent parameters: high temperatures and pressures, powders, granules, fibres, and pastes can be tested in our labs, including in explosive atmospheres (ATEX). Chemical reactions, physical changes, moisture content, and variations in temperature and pressure are carefully managed and monitored at every stage of the process.

WAMGROUP ensures the confidentiality of all information processed and guarantees the repeatability of results obtained in the laboratory, using industrial machines.
