New process line and plant scope
Developing the process chain and project responsibilities around the raw material, target product, capacity and site conditions.
Process and plant engineering
We design the complete process, not just one machine.
From raw-material characteristics to the target product, we analyse the process chain and shape the equipment, layout and delivery scope around each project.
From need to solution
What need are we solving?
A solution begins with the material, target product, capacity and site conditions—not a ready-made equipment list.
Capacity review and modernisation
A technical review of bottlenecks, equipment compatibility and improvement options within an existing line.
Equipment integration into an existing line
Evaluating drying, grinding, classification, screening or crushing equipment as part of the current process.
Revamp, service and technical support
Reviewing existing equipment, defining revamp needs and providing after-sales support according to project scope.
One technical chain
How do we work?
Each stage takes forward the previous technical decision and creates a defined output for the next implementation step.
Input
Raw-material properties, feed size, moisture, target capacity and final-product expectations
Work
Review of technical requirements and process constraints
Output
Confirmed technical inputs, defined process problem and objectives, missing-data list and accepted design assumptions
Decision point
Confirmation of project objectives and design assumptions with the customer
Input
Confirmed process requirements
Work
Definition of process steps and the equipment chain
Output
Preliminary process flow, capacity approach, main equipment chain, preliminary selection and defined interfaces
Decision point
Approval of the process flow and technical scope
Input
Approved process flow and equipment
Work
Review of layout, connections, integration and control requirements
Output
General layout approach; feed and discharge relationships, equipment interfaces, utilities and electrical–automation scope
Decision point
Finalisation of the implementation scope and ESTILO–customer responsibility boundaries
Input
Approved technical design
Work
Manufacturing, assembly and quality checks performed within the project scope
Output
Equipment manufactured to the approved design, inspected and defined for assembly or shipment
Decision point
Approval of inspection status and equipment ready for shipment
Input
Site readiness and delivered equipment
Work
Installation coordination, commissioning and technical support according to project scope
Output
Site-readiness check, installation coordination, commissioning sequence, operating checks and technical handover information
Decision point
Definition of project acceptance steps and after-sales support scope
Flexible delivery scope
What can the project scope include?
The scope is defined for each project after the technical review, site conditions and customer responsibilities have been clarified.
ACore engineering
- Process analysis
- Process design
- Capacity approach and equipment selection
- Mechanical layout approach
BDefined per project
- Machine manufacturing
- Electrical and automation
- Support and auxiliary structures
- Feeding, conveying and storage systems
- Filtration and dust-collection integration
- Site installation or coordination
- Commissioning
COptional / following technical review
- Spare parts
- Equipment revamp
- After-sales technical support
Final responsibilities are clarified at project start by reviewing the technical proposal, site conditions and customer scope together.
Why take a complete-process approach?
Drying, grinding, conveying, classification and filtration decisions are evaluated together.
Feed, discharge, capacity, particle size and equipment interfaces are considered together.
Layout, elevations, structures and maintenance areas form part of process design.
Equipment, site and customer responsibilities are clarified before implementation.
Engineering decision support
Define the flowsheet before the equipment list.
Explore general plant design, quartz processing and the wider mineral-processing knowledge base as separate technical topics.
Real application
Kütahya Quartz Grinding Plant
A 5-line integrated quartz process project in Kütahya combining drying, grinding, classification and filtration, documented at an ≈7 t/h field operating point with an ≈1–100 µm adjustable product / classification operating range.
- Raw material
- Wet quartz
- Field operating point
- ≈7 t/h
- Product / classification operating range
- ≈1–100 µm
- Project status
- 5-line project
- Process
- Drying → Grinding → Classification → Filtration
- Final product
- Dry fine quartz powder
Process and equipment
The right equipment for every process stage
Equipment is evaluated through its duty in the process and its relationship with other units, not as an isolated machine.

A process line consists of more than its main machines. Auxiliary systems and inter-equipment connections are evaluated together according to project scope.
- Feeding and bunkers
- Elevators and screws
- Intermediate storage
- Filtration and dust collection
- Platforms and structures
- Process connections
Initial technical review
What information do we need?
If every input is not yet available, share what you have. The final technical scope is clarified together during the review.
- Raw material and available analysis data
- Feed particle size
- Moisture content
- Target capacity
- Required final-product fineness
- Target final moisture, when relevant
- Existing site, plant and utility information
- Whether this is a new plant or an existing-line revamp
