Course: Storing and Handling Powder & Bulk for the Batteries Industry


Course: Storing and Handling Powder & Bulk for the Batteries Industry *July 9, 2025: New One day short course: explore best practice and industry; learn about impact of material properties on product quality and process efficiency* This new course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and solutions in storing and handling bulk powders used in battery manufacturing, and to explore best practice and industry standards for safe and efficient material handling. The course will also involve the role of material properties in storage and handling, and their impact on product quality and process efficiency. Course presenter, Dr Vivek Garg has been helping companies involved in the manufacture of batteries to better understand the problems encountered when handling and storing these bulk materials and has used this to create a bespoke course for the industry. Course subjects Basics in operation, design and specification of hoppers, silos, bins and bunkers, An introduction to the storage and flow of bulk solid materials Feeders and feeding Hopper discharge aids Prediction of discharge rates focussing on battery materials. He will also look closely at ways to determine the correct design for reliable discharge, including determining flow properties of battery materials, hopper geometry and practical Is it for me? This course is designed for professionals involved in material handling, storage, or processing within the battery industry. Ideal participants include process engineers, R&D professionals, plant managers, and supply chain specialists. The course will be delivered in English.
