Optimising Material Flow Through Advanced Simulation

NewPro applies Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations to analyse and optimise the behaviour of bulk materials within chutes, hoppers, and other mechanical systems. Through realistic particle modelling, we help clients improve flow performance, reduce wear, and extend equipment life.

Our DEM studies enable:

• Optimised rock box positioning and discharge control for smoother material flow

• Improved liner and downstream equipment longevity

• Enhanced screening efficiency and tonnage distribution

A recent DEM application for a client ensured balanced material and granulation distribution across a Metso MF4285-2 secondary screen, maximising screening area and preventing fines carry-over. The analysis proved critical due to the wide screen geometry and the crushing circuit’s sensitivity to screening performance.

By integrating simulation results with practical engineering design, NewPro delivers data-driven solutions that improve reliability, safety, and throughput across materials handling systems.
