About Us

Macawber India is a joint venture with Macawber Engineering Inc., USA, a well known company founded in the early 1970’s, which is well recognized in the markets as pioneers in pneumatic conveying & material handling systems. With over 30 years of experience, our “Macawber Group” has successfully spread its wings with manufacturing units established in England, China & India. Presently, our groups’ operations are spread all over the world including countries like Canada, Japan, Australia, Korea, Mexico, Greece, Italy, Denmark, Sri Lanka.

Macawber India has its operations headed from Mumbai, India, with factory located at Addl. Ambernath MIDC. The factory is well equipped with necessary test facilities for conducting trials on various materials so as to effectively determine key pneumatic conveying parameters.

Selection of the correct pneumatic conveying and material handling equipment is very vital for successfully meeting the involved production requirements. There are four basic pneumatic conveying regimes:

Solid Dense Phase:

• Very low material velocity
• Pipeline full of material
• An excellent regime for fragile materials

Discontinuous Dense Phase:

• Low material velocity
• Pipeline almost full of material that moves in plug flow fashion
• Best regime for most applications in which power economy, pipe erosion & material degradation issues are important

Continuous Dense Phase:

• Highest velocity that is below the saltation velocity of the material conveyed
• Suitable for powder & narrow particle size distribution
• May not be suitable design for abrasive materials

Dilute Phase:

• Material Velocity above the saltation velocity
• No upper limit to the velocity least attractive regime that provides optimum operation economy
• Unsuitable for abrasive materials or materials having wide particle size distribution

Backed by extensive industry and process experience,our scientific approach for studying and identifying specific conveying and material handling equipment requirements assures customers that lowest material velocities are achieved that remains consistent without any limitations of the material characterization. We also have with us well maintained research facilities, which allow us to carry out intensive product oriented research activities for bringing out enhancements in our machinery's overall efficiency levels.

The range offered by us includes:

Products Typical Features

Some of the salient features of the products offered by us include:

• Unique dome valve that permits choke filling of Denseveyor Vessel
• Large diameter inlet flange for permitting unrestricted vessel filling
• No level probes/ outlet Valves normally required
• Dome valve closes through material at end of the filling sequence
• Instant sealing done to prevent conveying air from escaping
• Air introduced at a controlled rate to destination without needs for continuous fluidization
• Opening cycle repeated continuously until transfer signal is canceled

The services of professionals & dedicated team of engineers, technicians and R&D personnel allow us to hold complete command over involved manufacturing processes of precision-engineered material handling and conveying systems. Our team’s extensive knowledge base, modernized manufacturing facilities and ability to successfully handle specific process requirements enable us to effectively meet client’s need of customized changes as per the specific requirements of involved processes.

We provide customization on the parameters of:

We have with us service support of highly qualified mechanical engineers and other production staff who form the backbone of the company. Besides production, they also help us in analyzing the emerging technical trends in the industry as well as the changing requirements of clients. This allows us to deliver upgraded machinery equipment on a regular basis as per the specific process requirements emerging at client’s end.

Our factory unit is well equipped with necessary test facilities to successfully conduct trials on various materials. Further, it also helps us in determining key Pneumatic Conveying Parameters. The success story of our Pneumatic Ash Handling System is also attributed to the specially designed, application-specific material-inlet-valve called ‘Dome Valve®.’

Some of the steps we undertake to maintain consistent quality output include:

• All manufacturing operations are held in a precision controlled environment
• Conducting repeated quality checks on the manufactured parts
• Conduct checks on systems for performance and durability features of machinery parts as well as the machinery as a whole

With operations headed from factory located at Addl. Ambernath MIDC, Mumbai, India, we have with us well developed infrastructure facilities that guide us in understanding and meeting the specific material handling and conveying requirements emerging at customer’s end. Further, the effective use of upbeat technology based production machinery equipment also enables us to successfully meet the involved work order requirements.

Our dedicated team of engineers, technicians, welders and fabrication fitters also ensure that the end system delivered from our premises successfully meets the emerging new challenges and market demands. The state-of-the-art design, engineering & manufacturing facilities also allow us to deliver high level of customization in the equipment as per the specifications provided by the customers.

After doing over 1000 installations in India and abroad, we have gained reputation of being orderly and accurate. The technical service support is provided either by telephone or through personal visit by our trained and experienced engineers. We also ensure that maintenance of systems and necessary replacement of the worn out parts are also undertaken without any delays so as to ensure smooth and uninterrupted process cycle at client’s end.

We are committed towards constantly enhancing our research and development capabilities that allows us to:
