ASGCO
Manufacturing Picks DEM's EDEM for Discrete Modeling
 LEBANON,
NH, Jan 4, 2008 - DEM Solutions Inc., the world leader in discrete element
modeling solutions is pleased to announce that ASGCO Manufacturing, Inc., of
Allentown, PA, has selected DEM Solutions’ EDEM software to satisfy their
discrete element modeling needs. ASGCO, a leading manufacturer of conveyor
components and systems, is implementing EDEM for product development and
also for design optimization of engineered products, including conveyor
systems and transfer points.
EDEM is an advanced discrete element modeling package for the
simulation, analysis and visualization of particulate flows. The
software provides high-resolution information on particle
kinematics, momentum and heat and mass transfer.
ASGCO was an early adopter of discrete element modeling and has
been using it to analyze their transfer chute designs for some time.
“We had simply outgrown the tool we were using,” said George Mott,
Vice President of Engineering. “When we saw what DEM Solutions’ EDEM
was capable of, it was an easy decision to make the switch. The
investment in EDEM was more than justified to us in accuracy and
engineering efficiency.”
ASGCO has purchased a perpetual license for EDEM, a further
indication of their continued commitment to using DEM Solutions’
technology to improve product design.
George Mott, Vice President of Engineering at ASGCO, says: “The
benefits of using EDEM include easier problem set-up with CAD
import, substantially improved stability, much greater speed, more
sophisticated post-processing plus strong customer support from a
company that specializes in DEM software.”
John Favier, CEO of DEM Solutions, adds: “We are pleased that
respected manufacturers like ASGCO Manufacturing are recognizing the
importance of our software as a tool to improve their product
designs and reduce risks of problems when the equipment is fielded.
Their adoption of the software underlines the strong and growing
presence we now have across the globe in the bulk material handling
sector.”
DEM Solutions partners with their customers to improve their
products and processes by simulating and analyzing operations at the
particle scale. First released in 2005, EDEM software is now used in
the design and analysis of particulate handling, processing, and
manufacturing operations in almost every industry sector and
engineering discipline. EDEM provides companies with a tool to
substantially reduce the number of physical prototypes and tests
required to get a product to market or a process on-stream. It is
used to help trouble-shoot difficult particulate processes and,
because it is physics-based, it can greatly improve understanding of
system fundamentals leading to better product and process design and
innovation.
DEM Solutions’ corporate headquarters are located in Edinburgh,
Scotland with a subsidiary in Lebanon, New Hampshire, USA and sales
offices and distributor representation worldwide.
