About the Company

History
The initial concept for AggFlow was born in 1989, after company founder and AggFlow inventor, Bryan R. Lewis realized manual plant flow calculations were time consuming, inefficient and often simple mistakes could lead to costly production errors. Mr. Lewis understood that knowing exactly what was happening at any point in the flow process was critical to the overall production and profitability of any aggregate operation. After several years of research and development including live operation testing, the AggFlow program was brought to fruition. Mr. Lewis holds a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree in Nuclear Engineering from Oregon State University. He has worked as an engineer for Portland General Electric where he performed safety analysis for the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant and for Impell Corporation where he analyzed nuclear power plants in the US and the United Kingdom. He also served as the Senior Nuclear Engineer in the Space Power Division at General Atomics before founding BedRock Software, LLC.

Educational Partnership Program

AggFlow is a critical part of the Engineering & Mining curriculum at many universities and educational facilities around the world. The Management Team at BedRock Software believes the future of the aggregate industry depends heavily on the continuing development of young professionals in the world's educational systems. Through our Educational Partnership Program, BedRock partners with universities and technical institutes to provide free AggFlow programs for their curriculum. In every case the program has become a critical and required portion of the aggregate engineering course study. In addition, several large producer conglomerates take advantage of the Educational Partnership Program and employ AggFlow in their management training courses.
Every year since 2006 the annual Society for Mining & Engineering (SME)/NSSGA Student Aggregate Design Competition has been won by teams using AggFlow in their design analysis. Increasingly, AggFlow Experience has become a common requirement for industry job postings.

Educational Partner Testimonials

In the Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering at Virginia Tech, AggFlow has been a required part of our curriculum. For our younger students, it is an outstanding way to learn about aggregate operations and the interactions between various types of equipment. For our seniors, it has become an integral design tool for their Senior Design Projects. Considering that we have placed nearly 100 graduates in the aggregates industry over the past ten years, it is important that our graduates leave with a working knowledge of industry standards. Dr. Greg Adel, Professor & Department Head, Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University We routinely use AggFlow to design the crushing/screening portion within the Capstone Senior Design course.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AggFlow make my operation more profitable? Absolutely! This is the primary reason so many companies around the globe employ the program. Developing an accurate plant simulation that includes live field data will increase accuracy, impact your decision making process and provide a new standard from which you can operate. It is easy to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies. This, combined with the ability to perform unlimited "What-if?" scenarios quickly and accurately, is significant when it comes to new investment decisions. Producers and Dealers around the globe rely on the program for quick, efficient and accurate analysis. All agree employing the program creates significant and identifiable savings in time, money, materials, equipment and man hours.
How accurate can the program simulations get? It is common for the program simulations to exceed ninety-five percent (95%) accuracy. As with any complicated calculation process the results are completely dependent upon the data you put into the system. By taking actual field samples and inputting that data to the program using "Sample Buckets" it is possible to replicate your plant with incredible accuracy. Can I put actual field samples and real life data into the program? Yes. Using "Sample Buckets" and other unique features you can customize the program to simulate your plant almost perfectly. This allows you to establish a benchmark for the plant and then define the effects of equipment or process changes with extreme accuracy. Are multiple purchase or corporate discounts available? Yes. Multiple purchase and corporate discounts are available for both program purchases and operating license renewals. You can review the multiple purchase discounts on the "Order Now" tab of the website. If you are part of, or affiliated with, a large organization please let us know as corporate discounts may apply. Please contact the BedRock Sales Team directly for more information.

How does AggFlow compare to other simulation models? What is the difference? The program is unique in two distinct ways: First, it has been provided to the aggregate industry since 1993. From the beginning, BedRock Software has worked in close collaboration with global industry leaders to ensure the program is simple to use, extremely accurate and completely effective. Throughout our history the program features and components have been developed to meet specific needs outlined by the industry users. Second, and most importantly, it is an independent program which contains data for all equipment manufacturers. Other simulation programs are highly effective tools in analyzing specific manufacturer's equipment. However, AggFlow/AggFlowSite is the only simulation program that can model an entire plant from start to finish and include all of the equipment in the operation. With more than 20 years of custom development, AggFlow will continue to be an industry leader in total plant simulation.
Can I have multiple copies of the program on different computers? Yes. The program can be downloaded to as many computers as you like. AggFlow users must connect the USB Security dongle to the computer to operate the program. AggFlowSite users must be connected to the internet to operate the program. Can I submit new or additional equipment for inclusion in the program? How? Yes, we are always prepared to expand our equipment database to meet your needs. If there is aggregate equipment that you would like to have included in the program please contact our sales team directly. The process is very simple. We simply need the equipment details (manufacturer, make and model number, operating parameters and gradation data) along with any brochures or specification sheets. You can send us the equipment in an AggFlow file or via our simple Equipment Submission Form which we will send you.
