JMS is now using our 50 years of proven experience in the supply of equipment for municipal water and wastewater plants to design and manufacture complete systems to meet your material handling needs. Pulling together the best in knowledge, testing, and design programming, our experienced engineers and manufacturing staff take care to fully understand your process needs and design equipment systems to yield a high level of performance geared around the longest component life and lowest maintenance demands of any comparable system.
Proven, Process, Performance, JMS has the answers you want, the solutions you need, and the support you deserve.
There are several applications for Material Handling Equipment in the Wastewater industry. Whether the application is conveyance or storage of dewatered biosolids, sludge, screenings or grit, it is important to consider such factors as volume, solids, density, of the substrate when choosing the right equipment for the job. Often times individual components are purchased to replace like components, or the same components can be put together in a complex Bio-HANDLING System. If you are looking for what the cost for a material handling system components cost, you can learn more about that on the JMS Learning Center.
Specializing in the design and manufacture of equipment and systems for the water and wastewater treatment industries for a half century, we have seen the management of biosolids increase in cost, volume, and complexity. Wastewater utilitiy organizations are reaching out to seek options to traditional landfill and agricultural applications that are both cost effective and sustainable. JMS supports this effort with Bio-HANDLING (Material Handling Systems) bulk material handling systems providing innovative designs that consider both project needs and budget. Our key strengths can make a difference in your project outcome.JMS Key Strengths
Let JMS worry about the equipment specification so that you can concentrate on the bigger picture. Our engineers take care to make sure that they understand your needs and goals to recommend a system to satisfy both.Application Engineering
Each project is staffed with an experienced Project Manager to guide the process from concept to success.

JMS metered-end discharge receiving stations are typically loaded by truck or directly from dewatering equipment. These systems provide temporary storage of solids until the sludge can be metered into downstream equipment at a controlled rate. Most often used at the front end of dryer or incinerator operations, these systems typically include a sludge hopper and additional downstream conveyors or pumps. JMS systems are optimized to prevent plugging, bridging, and rat-holing to evenly distribute material within the hopper, fully utilizing available capacity. JMS engineers can provide assistance in sizing custom equipment for your application, taking into account angle of repose, material characteristics, and loading/discharge points of a given project. JMS Receiving Stations can include some or all of the following equipment:
Bio-stabilization systems are an effective process to meet EPA (40 CFR 503) guidelines regarding the safe treatment, beneficial use, and disposal of biosolids. Lime stabilization is specifically mentioned in the EPA regulations as a method of pathogen kill and a way to reduce the tendency of biosolids to attract disease vectors such as rodents and insects. Class A or B lime stabilized biosolids can be land applied as a fertilizer or soil conditioner. JMS systems are optimized to allow for reduced lime volumes/costs and to prevent material bridging and plugging issues. JMS Bio-Stabilization Systems can include some or all of the following equipment:Most Common JMS Bio-HANDLING (Material Handling Systems) Applications

Sewage dust is typically an ST1 explosive class dust which means the Kst constant falls in the range of 0-200 bar-m/sec. JMS has successfully dealt with the combustion and self-heating properties of dried sewage sludge as well as meeting required NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) requirements for its transport. JMS dried biosolids storage systems act as the first line of defense preventing fire/explosions through the use of: Additionally, if an explosion cannot be prevented, protective measures are provided as follows: JMS Dried Biosolids Systems can include some or all of the following equipment:
JMS bottom discharge truck load-out stations are typically loaded by conveyor, pump, or directly from dewatering equipment. These systems provide storage until the sludge can be discharged into transportation vehicles. Load-out stations generally include a sludge hopper and additional conveyors or pumps. The discharge rate of sludge into trucks is controlled by slide gates. JMS systems are optimized to prevent plugging, bridging, and rat-holing to evenly distribute material within the hopper to fully utilize available capacity. JMS engineers can provide assistance in sizing custom equipment for your application, taking into account angle of repose, material characteristics, and loading/discharge points of a given project. JMS Truck Load-Out Stations can include some or all of the following equipment:

The JMS in-house engineering and fabrication teams have designed and built numerous Storage Hoppers, Bins, and Silos for sludge applications. These vessels can be manufactured from stainless steel or painted carbon steel and are typically used in conjunction with JMS Live Bottom Feeders to provide a metered discharge.
