Lab Testing & Proof of Concept
Process Laboratory
A specialised testing environment that provides detailed process information to help scale up a process to full plant operation.
We offer a wide range of facilities and services, including:
- Full testing of your samples’ process characteristics
- Test centrifuges of all sizes from bench-scale to small production units
- Particle and slurry analysis
- Purpose-built test laboratory with large fume extraction bay and zone 2 electrical status.
- Testing either in-house or at the end-user’s plant
- Full on-site training, optimisation and commissioning support service
Research and Technology
Our substantial in-house Research and Technology Team has designed, engineered and tested thousands of solid-liquid separation samples over the years and we are committed to delivering outstanding results at every new opportunity. We liaise and collaborate with fellow specialists in academic and industrial centres of excellence, including:
Full Turnkey Solutions
Concept
In-house conceptualisation and prototyping
Design
In-house mechanical, process and electrical design capabilities
Engineering
Full engineering capabilities, in-house and on-site
Manufacturing
Fabrication & machining to assembly & testing
Technical and Design Capability
For over 150 years, the vast majority of the products supplied by Broadbent to the solid-liquid separation, effluent and water recovery markets have been designed and manufactured by our own in-house Teams, here in our Huddersfield, UK premises.
Our sustained success in these markets is testament to our uncompromising commitment to excellent product design.
Our capabilities include:
- Full mechanical, process and electrical in-house design
- 3D-CAE systems for engineering design, modelling, drawing, vibration and FEA, modal and ODS analysis
- 3D-CAM systems for multi-axis NC machine tools
- Design for hazard evaluation, risk analysis, certification GAMP, ATEX etc.
- Programming for a wide range of industry-standard PLC systems
- Comprehensive Test Facilities with computer based data logging, vibration analysis, sound/power intensity and EMC compliance
R&D Collaboration
Research & Development
We are always pushing forwards with Research and Development (R&D) to create new products and services, and improve our existing ones. We do this internally, but can also offer this as a service or in partnership.
Partnerships
Through active research and our close mutual alliances with leading academic institutions, other external research bodies and industry experts, we remain constantly at the top of our game.
These links to external institutions also give us additional access to specialist knowledge, equipment, techniques and facilities, all of which keeps Broadbent at the forefront of industrial separation technology.
Universities
We work with leading Universities and academic institutions, including The Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, and The Geotechnical & Environmental Research Group, University of Cambridge.
