Artech Ultrasonic Systems: patented ultrasonic technology solving sieving, discharging and flow problems since 1991

Artech Ultrasonic Systems has been solving one of manufacturing's most persistent headaches since 1991: getting bulk materials to flow properly. Grains, powders, sand, flour, sugar, and granulates all tend to bridge, clog, or stick at exactly the wrong moment, and Artech's patented ultrasonic technology exists to stop that happening.

Rather than relying on the pneumatic or mechanical vibration methods that dominate the industry, Artech uses controlled ultrasonic excitation to reduce friction at the material contact surface. The technology works across a wide range of equipment geometries without needing frequency-matching adjustments, so it applies to existing plant as well as new installations. That versatility runs across four core applications: keeping sieve mesh clear, preventing bridging and ratholing when discharging from silos, smoothing material conveying, and improving dosing accuracy.

The payoff is straightforward: less unplanned downtime, lower energy consumption than pneumatic or mechanical alternatives, and higher overall plant efficiency and output. Because the technology is materials-agnostic, Artech's systems show up across a broad set of industries, from food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals to metallurgy, plastics, coatings, minerals, and additive manufacturing — anywhere bulk solids need to move reliably through a process line.

Artech is part of the Crest Group, the multinational ultrasonic technology group that also includes CC Hydrosonics.
For plant engineers fighting blocked screens, bridged silos, and inconsistent dosing, Artech's pitch is simple: ultrasonic excitation solves the problem at its source, rather than working around it. Three decades of refinement have made it an established name in ultrasonic bulk material handling, backed by a global technology group.
