Algoryx Momentum

Material Handling in Factories

Algoryx Momentum is a tool where production engineers design, test and show effective solutions to industrial material handling problems. 

The software has specialized capabilities for bowl feeders, linear feeders, step feeders and conveyor systems. 

With Algoryx Momentum you can do this on your PC:

  • Design and test complete material handling solutions
  • Identify and eliminate potential failure modes
  • Assess bruising and damaging of foods and other products
  • Verify throughput and dependability
  • Prototype and demonstrate in a virtual environment before you manufacture.

USE CASE

Vibratory feeders

The Vibratory Feeder Lab is a template where you can build or import complete bowl feeders, test them extensively, and engineer dependable designs.

It gives you nearly unlimited freedom when it comes to design and innovation. And you can extend the model far beyond the vibratory feeder itself and incorporate other systems such as conveyors and chutes. 

  • Bowl feeders and linear feeders
  • Interactive design and problem-solving
  • Dependability and performance tests
  • Sensors and control systems

… plus a growing list of specialized tools and features.

USE CASE

Conveyors

Our primary focus here is industrial conveyor applications that revolve around consumer products such as bottles, cans, foods, etc. where placement, orientation and handling care are of critical importance.

Develop belt, paddle, bucket, elevation and other conveyors, and then test your solutions in a complex environment that includes upstream, downstream, and auxiliary equipment.

  • Bucket, paddle, circulation, multi-track etc. conveyors
  • Compact streams of oriented component parts mixed with debris
  • Interactive design and problem solving
  • Dependability and performance tests
  • Sensors and control systems

…. plus a growing list of specialized tools and features.

USE CASE

Sorting and orienting machines

Here we go beyond the special case of bowl feeders and extend the scope to virtually any type of sorting machine.

The applications range from screens and sieves to extremely complex solutions that involve unique mechanisms, traps, sensors and control algorithms.

  • For unique and potentially very complex solutions
  • Interactive design and problem solving
  • Dependability and performance tests
  • Sensors and control systems

… plus a growing list of specialized tools and features.

USE CASE

Chutes and funnels

Many of the notorious engineering challenges here revolve around dependability. You want the solution to control the flow and be gentle to the product, but above all you want to avoid blockages and other issues that can negatively affect production. From the engineer’s perspective, this is a game of creative thinking, trial-and-error, and a fluid design iteration process.

  • Interactive design and problem-solving
  • Dependability and performance tests
  • Sensors and control systems
  • Plus a growing list of specialized tools and features

Algoryx Momentum news

Testimonials

“I don’t know of any other tool that can handle complex dynamical machines with such astonishingly good correlation to real measurements.”

Per Krainer

R&D Engineer,
ABB

“Algoryx momentum enabled us to rethink the way we design our products. The time required to get an understanding of a dynamic system is reduced tremendously, which allows us to iterate products much faster than before.”

Lucas Lobmeyer

Lead Analysis Engineer,
New Motion Labs

“Normally we need years of field experience to verify a new idea or design. Algoryx Momentum drastically reduces the verification effort”

Stefan Bergqvist

R&D Manager,
Hultdins

“I rather liked what Algoryx Momentum did with the bad gear tooth profiles. It shows just how capable it is to reflect real world conflicts and point to solutions. That’s what digital prototyping is all about.”

Waylan Elmenhurst

4D RD&D

“Momentum allows us to evaluate lots of conceptual ideas very quickly. We learn from these long before we spend any time or money making hardware and many design iterations mean we end up with much better designs.”

Rick Cronk

Principal Research Engineer,
Pearson Engineering Ltd.

“Thanks to Algoryx Momentum Granular, we can rapidly test and evaluate different optimized designs for our pellet processes with great success.”

Kjell-Ove Mickelsson

Senior Research Engineer,
LKAB

“We have been amazed by the simplicity and robust nature of Algoryx Momentum, not to mention the seamless integration with our CAD system. Our client’s favorite is seeing a full dynamic simulation of concept designs within a day…”

Chris Hollingworth

Director,
Infinite Analysis Ltd.

“We’re dealing with complicated dynamical machines operating on millisecond time-scales. Momentum is a natural part of our R&D process, It enables us to make more reliable and lean products. Also, it saves us a lot of prototyping and testing expenses.

Veselin Nikolov

R&D Engineer,
ABB

“We are now able to perform rapid virtual experiments that previously could only be performed in practice, the latter usually very costly and time consuming.”
