About NBE

United StatesEst. 1974

National Bulk Equipment, Inc. (NBE) was founded in 1974 and is headquartered in Holland, Michigan. Operating as a privately held company under NBE Holdings Company, NBE has spent five decades designing, engineering, manufacturing, and commissioning bulk material handling equipment and complete processing systems. The company employs more than 200 staff and serves customers across the United States and internationally through its engineer-to-application (ETA) project delivery model.

NBE's product portfolio covers the full spectrum of bulk material handling, from upstream discharge to downstream packaging. The company is particularly recognized for its floor-level Gaylord tilters and bulk container tilters, a category NBE is credited with originating. These pneumatically operated tilters handle containers weighing up to 2,500 pounds, accommodate standard 48-by-48-inch gaylords, and feature automatic weight-activated tilt action that reduces operator intervention. The broader NBE line also includes bulk bag dischargers, bulk container dischargers and dumpers, screw and pneumatic conveyors, bulk bag fillers, agitator hoppers, bag dump stations, and dry bulk mixing systems.

NBE equipment is deployed across a wide range of process-intensive industries. Primary end markets include food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing, chemical processing, plastics processing and recycling, and personal care and household products manufacturing. The company's sanitary and compliance-ready system designs make NBE equipment especially prevalent in regulated production environments where material containment, dust control, and accurate material infeed are critical.

Buyers seeking used NBE equipment on the secondary market consistently cite the brand's heavy-gauge welded steel construction and pneumatic simplicity as reasons machines hold up well through years of demanding production use. NBE Gaylord tilters in particular are known for their straightforward pneumatic controls, minimal moving parts, and floor-level loading design that reduces wear compared to elevated-platform alternatives. These qualities translate into strong resale value and relatively low refurbishment costs, making used NBE tilters an attractive option for operations looking to add reliable container discharge capacity without new-equipment lead times or pricing.
