Technical and
ACT offers complete engineering services to take your project from start to finish. Our engineering
and design team will evaluate your process, production and site requirements to develop the rotary
drum system that is right for you. Once fabrication is complete, your rotary drum undergoes rigorous
testing at our facilities. Our technicians will then install your rotary drum at any site you choose.
We'll also oversee your startup operations to ensure that your rotary drum works perfectly for your
process and production needs. We can also train your employees to operate your new equipment,
either on site or at our complete pilot plant facilities. And should you wish to make later changes or
need other assistance, our engineering team is readily available to meet your needs.

ACT Engineering and Technical services include:

Chemical, civil, mechanical, electrical and automation engineering
Raw materials, process, product and site evaluation
Custom research, development, engineering and design
