Malter's Equipment
ABM Equipment provides equipment and complete systems for all malters’ grain handling and bagging needs. This includes conveyance, milling, sifting, dust collection, and bagging–for small bags, 55 lb., and super sacks. Working with a few parters we can likewise provide grain cleaning and other related equipment so that you can have a single point of contact for your project.
ABM handles full systems idea-to-finish with in-house design, engineering, fabrication, integration, and maintenance teams. Below are pieces of equipment we fabricate, supply from a partner (our commissions are paid by the OEM, not you), and customize.
ABM 2-Roller Mill
After 20 years of the same problems plaguing mid-range roller mills, we asked 2500 brewers, distillers, and malters what they wanted to see fixed. The result was the most efficient and easy-to-use grain mill that is still affordable.

Screw Conveyors
Screw conveyors are one of the oldest conveying methods known to man and still the ideal method for many applications. Though screw conveyors and augers are technically synonymous (any conveyance method driven by rotating threads) the processing industry typically reserves the term “screw conveyor” for larger executions, and augers for enclosed, tubular conveyors. For precise metering using screws, see screw feeders.
Tubular Drag Conveying Systems
ABM supplies tubular drag conveyors for most non-abraisive, free-flowing products including powders, pellets, and granules. Capacities can vary depending on the configuration and product, but as a reference, tubular drag conveyors reach capacity with milled grain at 2,000 ft. through 24 elbows and conveying at a rate of about 300 pounds per hour.
Open Mouth Baggers
ABM employs open mouth baggers in bulk packaging systems to weigh and dispense loose product into open-mouth bags, boxes, or totes. We use them for anything dry and bulk you can imagine including food + nutraceutical + pharmaceutical ingredients, chemicals, and building materials. They provide efficient and accurate dispensing and can be used manually or connected with bag placers and sealers for an automated process.
Bag Placers
Bag placers are standalone placing machines meant to be integrated with bag fillers for automatic bagging.
The TOMP Automatic Open Mouth Bag Placer seen here efficiently places kraft (open-mouth) bags on the spout of an electronic bagging scale, with a capacity of up to 12 per minute. The vertical carousel bag magazine allows for easy loading even while the machine is in operation, and its compact design enables installation in limited floor space.
Silos
ABM Equipment provides silo sales and servicefor food, chemical, and nutraceutical applications. ABM Equipment handles process engineering, mechanical engineering, integration, and service for silos, as well as our own custom leak-proof gates. We will design your system, help navigate zoning and seismic requirements, and find creative ways to satisfy or avoid other municiple requirements.
Work Bins
ABM fabricates and sources work bins of all types, from totes on wheels to product staging in continuous processes, in all metal materials from carbon and stainless to aluminum. We handle install, integration, and service on all intake and discharge conveyance as well as surrounding equipment.
Process Controls
Process control is a critical aspect of modern manufacturing and production operations. It involves the use of technology and software to manage and monitor production processes, ensuring that they run smoothly, efficiently, and according to specifications. Process control offers numerous benefits to companies, including recipe programming, remote access, analytics, and IOT integration.
Bucket Elevators
ABM uses bucket elevators are to lift bulk dry ingredients within a small footprint. They consist of a series of buckets attached to a belt or chain, which runs over a pulley or sprocket at the top and bottom of the unit. The buckets scoop up material at the bottom and then lift it to a higher point, where the ingredient is discharged.
Chain Conveyors
Chain conveyors, not to be confused with chain-driven belt conveyors, or tubular drag, use gear-driven chains to move materials along a conveyor path. ABM provides different configurations to move large, heavy objects such as boxes and pallets, or varous kinds of loose material with specialized paddles.
Roller Conveyors
ABM Equipment provides both powered and gravity roller conveyors for boxes and large packaged goods in manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution applications. We use powered roller conveyors for controlling product spacing, controlling speed of incoming product, and conveying different products independently on the same conveyor.
Baghouses
Baghouses, or bag filters, are a type of dust collection system that uses filter bags to capture and remove dust and other particulate matter from industrial processes. These systems are commonly used in a wide range of industries, including cement, mining, power generation, and metal production, to remove particulate matter from the air.
Cartridge Dust Collectors
ABM supplies cartridge dust collectors for applications where 1, granular filtration and easy maintenance are priorities over maintenance cost and 2, where space is limited. Filters can be round or rectangular, and made of natural or synthetic materials depending on the application.
Cyclone Dust Collectors
We employ cyclone dust collectors to remove debris from processes and spaces when volume and maintenance are a priority over precision. We supply cyclones to many manufacturing industries, from food to chemicals and building materials. Household cyclone vacuums (like Dyson) employ this method which is known for low maintenance—no bags or cartridges to change—and long-lasting performance without loss of suction. However, because there is no filter medium, some of the smaller dust particles will escape.
Rotary Valves
ABM provides rotary valves as flow control devices for the conveyance of powders, granules, and other bulk materials in ingredient handling systems. ABM handles system design, integration of rotary valves and connected equipment, and service for the life of your system.
Cleated Belt Conveyors
Cleated belt conveyors are standard conveyors with raised edges (cleats) to keep product in place and prevent it from sliding or falling off the belt as it moves. This allows greater capacity and conveyance up slopes. The cleats can be made of various materials such as plastic, rubber, or metal, and can be arranged in different patterns depending on the type of material being conveyed and the needs of the application.
Roller Mills
Roller mills use cylindrical, opposing rollers to crush or grind material that is fed between them. The speed of the rollers is slightly off-set to achieve a grinding effect without creating too much heat. We deploy them for medium to coarse grinding where we need a lot of control over the grind (the product needs a certain grind and no more). Roller mills are good for ingredients that are relatively soft and not too abrasive, most commonly grains.
Pneumatic Conveyors
Pneumatic conveyors use pressurized air (CO2 or nitrogen can be used to keep temperatures low) to move materials through a pipeline. We use pneumatics for a variety of industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, food ingredients, coffee roasting, and others. Whether it’s positive, negative, dense-phase, or dilute, we’ll design, install, and maintain the right solution for your application.

Bulk Bag Fillers
Bulk Bag Fillers, also known as super sack loaders, package product for sale or storage. Our Bulk Bag Fillers have numerous convenient features for longevity and ease-of-use, are backed with 24/7 emergency service, and are Legal-For-Trade without the high cost usually associated with the certification. They can package up to 3,000 lbs. of product, but a super-sack full of herb will only weight about 500 lbs.
In herb systems, bulk bag fillers are preceded by dryers and sifters to remove moisture and stalks/stems, which will mold product and rip bags respectively. They can be fed by a variety of conveyors or surge hoppers depending on the application.
Load Cells for Tanks, Hoppers, and Process Equipment
Whether your tanks are static or regularly vibrating and shifting, we provide accurate, reliable weight measurement for any application. Indoor or outdoor, analog or digital, we can connect real-time weights from any tank (or other piece of equipment if desired). We typically use flowscales for batching and ingredient control, but our scales division, A-1 Scales, can automate your system based on the weights of tanks and machinery if it’s advantageous for your process.
