The Coperion test centers for material handling are some of the most advanced facilities in the world for studying bulk solids handling and processing. They are the experimental foundation on which future applications in production plants, such as the properties of new bulk materials and optimal conveying modes can be tested. The test centers provide excellent facilities for an extensive range of tests, starting with laboratory analyses through to trials on an industrial scale across all process stages. Our continuous development work produces innovations which secure our technological leadership.
