About Us

Dense phase pneumatic conveying is our speciality. We not only focus on the engineering and design of bulk material handling technology, but we also take pride in our service and solutions. Low-velocity, dense phase systems can handle a range of materials, including brittle, abrasive, damp, dry, lumpy, or uniformly sized materials, while protecting the integrity of both the product and the equipment. Our custom-tailored solutions are often designed for particles that dilute phase systems struggle with or that mechanical systems cannot transport without spillage.

Another product manufactured by Mactenn Systems are our Inflatek Valve™. These pressure valves perform to a high standard under the demanding conditions common in many industries.

The pressure vessels we design comply with a variety of standards such as PED and ASME.

For budget-conscious customers, our innovative methods offer solutions for tight maintenance budgets. With over 45 years of combined experience, we have served clients worldwide with thousands of installations.
