National Bulk Equipment processing and packaging equipment, systems, and projects are built to the specific requirements of each application. This ensures NBE delivers comprehensive process improvement; upstream and downstream, enterprise-wide, and into the supply chain.
Extracting material from bulk bags, gaylord containers, drums, bulk totes, or non-bulk packages; providing bulk storage for materials received from railcar or bulk truck delivery. NBE engineer-to-application (ETA) project delivery brings performance effectiveness and total cost-of-ownership advantages to upstream equipment and systems.
Conveying material between processing or packaging systems, transferring material within bulk material handling equipment; transforming bulk material for downstream processes. NBE engineer-to-application (ETA] project delivery brings performance effectiveness and total cost-of-ownership advantages to midstream equipment and systems.
Packaging finished bulk product into bulk bags, gaylord containers, or bulk totes; recovery and reclamation of unsalable packaged product for reuse or recycling. NBE engineer-to-application (ETA) project delivery brings performance effectiveness and total cost-of-ownership advantages to downstream equipment and systems.
Move beyond the constraints of build-to-order and engineer-to-order machine manufacturers. Avoid settling for application input that falls short and project resources too limited to keep pace. NBE engineer-to-application (ETA) project delivery leverages the NBE equipment and systems portfolio and NBE fullstream applications expertise to ensure each project achieves optimal performance from pre-RFQ through turnover.
It begins even before NBE accepts the project. Feasibility testing, on-site evaluations, PFDs, 3D modeling. It's this type of proactive, project-focused collaboration that continues throughout the entire project. Constructive, informed, and responsive NBE project management ensures project owners, AECs, and EPCs see performance across the project long after installation, start-up, and turnover.
Access application-focused expertise and resources on matters of regulatory compliance, risk assessment and mitigation, equipment effectiveness, and more. Every NBE practice area, from applications, mechanical, and automation engineering; to project management, fabrication and assembly, and customer service is an essential contributor to the knowledgebase of NBE processing and packaging applications and insights.
Proper execution of ETA project delivery is demanding. ETA demands that our campus and its facilities be purpose-built to foster project designs, develop and prove those designs, and build those designs into project advancements. ETA demands that our project expertise span the fullstream of equipment application and integration. NBE ETA execution removes parity and advances process performance.
Engineer-to-application project execution is delivered by NBE through an open and deliberate implementation of the ETA performance categories. Project owners, AECs, and EPCs have confidence in the mutually defined expectations and tangible performance inherent in ETA project delivery by NBE.
Engineer-to-Application (ETA) project delivery, by National Bulk Equipment, enables project owners, AECs, and EPCs to move beyond the limitations of the build-to-order or engineer-to-order machine manufacturer experience. ETA project delivery brings to processing and packaging equipment manufacturing an alignment of the project execution methods and insights already recognized and practiced by project owners, AECs, and EPCs.
