Engineering: From Idea to Reality

Our engineering department consists of well-trained designers who specialize in the development of screw, mixing, and discharge systems. Whether you're looking for Screw Conveyors, Mixers, or heating and cooling systems, our designers know exactly how to tailor these systems to your specific needs. We can also provide pre-engineering services to visualize how a concept would fit into your facility.

Our engineers build a complete picture of your company to translate your requirements into a tailored design—such as a screw system. Customer focus is not just a buzzword to us; it is a vital condition for developing the right product. That’s why our engineers are not only highly skilled but also deeply passionate about their craft. This dedication is reflected in every final product.

3D-CAD Engineering

Our designers use modern 3D-CAD software to create digital models. This enables them to reuse and combine previously created designs. After all, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel—shortening design time and reducing costs.

Each solution is custom-developed for your business, based on the extensive experience our engineers have built over the years. Naturally, you want to be sure that your Screw Heat Exchanger or discharge system can withstand certain forces and external influences. The 3D-CAD system performs calculations on the design, taking into account forces, proportions, dimensions, and how these affect material selection.

Based on these results, our engineers provide tailored advice on the machinery—ensuring that it perfectly matches your needs.

Willem Jan Jansma Engineering

I’m Willem Jan Jansma. I joined Klinkenberg in 1994 and have been working here ever since with great enthusiasm.
In the early 2000s, I introduced parametric 3D engineering at Klinkenberg, allowing us to provide customers with detailed drawings and 3D models.
With this approach, we apply our experience and knowledge to create tailor-made solutions. I’d be happy to help you find a creative answer to your challenge.

Jacco Plekker Engineering

Pleased to meet you. I’m Jacco Plekker and have been a project engineer at Klinkenberg Zaanstad BV since 2010.
I’m primarily responsible for the design of the wide variety of machines that Klinkenberg supplies.
I also manage outsourced detail engineering work and handle documentation and certification processes for your machine.
Client contact is a key motivator for me — I strive to make “a new fan every day.”

Kees Bourgonje Engineering – Thermal Calculations

Hello, I’m Kees Bourgonje. At Klinkenberg, I focus on research and innovation for our machines.
With a background ranging from vocational training in metalwork to a university degree in mechanical engineering, I combine practical skills with theoretical knowledge.
This helps in designing special machines, such as high-temperature systems, where I use calculations and finite element simulations to ensure they perform in practice.
I also conduct product tests to analyze flow properties with different configurations (e.g., paddles, ribbon screws), as well as heating and cooling tests.
