• Entire Structural work for the plant including Storage sheds, Duct supports, Pipe & Cable racks etc.
• Entire Electrical & Utility work required for the plant

Pneumatic Handling

MBE offers complete Pneumatic Conveying System from concept to commissioning for Cement, Ash, Process and Metallurgical plants for handling powder materials. Based on the application requirement the Pneumatic System comprises:

Ash Handling

At the engineering stage following parameters are analyzed (by in-house developed software) to determine the optimum system -

• Layout / Routing
• Specific Air demand, System pressure;
• Blower pressure
• Power Requirement

MBE along with its subsidiary company – MBE EWB kft, Hungary, is one of the few companies in the world capable of providing all kinds of Ash handling technologies including:

• Dense phase pressure system
• Lean phase pressure system
• Vacuum system
• Hydraulic Ash removal
• Mechanical Ash transport
• Airslide + Airlift system
• Silo technologies

Slurry & Liquid Handling

MBE has designed & installed slurry & liquid handling facilities in areas like Ash, Iron ore, Non-Ferrous Metals, Coal, Water etc.
Design Process includes among others:

• Determining settling & critical velocity;
• Process Flow Scheme;
• Fluid handling & Distribution;
• Selection of pipe size;
• Selection & Sizing of pumping systems;
• Preparation of complete BOQ;

The successful running of almost all the Plants (over 350) is a testimony of MBE’s Engineering Strength

Centre of Excellence

Since the inception of this Department comprising technically competent members selected from different Engineering disciplines have made significant advances in the field of Design Automation. The basic intention of Design Automation Projects is to achieve the following:-

• Curtailment of Design / Drafting Time by 40-50%.
• Reproducibility and uniformity of Design.
• Lesser human intervention leading to lower Error Percentage.
• 3D visualization of Plant and Machinery helps reduce Errors due to fouling.
• Capturing Engineering working Knowledge & Experience in the form of dedicated software applications developed in-house to stop erosion of Knowhow over the years.
