Storage and Discharge of Powders and Bulk Solids

Overview: This course is designed to give delegates an overview of various methods for determining the bulk behaviour of powder and granular particulates. Subjects covered include a selection of: * Particle size measurement techniques * Particle Density (solid and bulk) * Flow property measurements * Moisture uptake * Degradation/friability of bulk through handling systems * Pneumatic conveying properties * Dustiness testing * Mechanical Surface Energy Testing A mixture of theory and practical sessions will be made over the 2 days. Course fee: £915 per person [**NOTE**Auf Deutsch**Der Kurs wird online auf Englisch abgehalten.

Consultancy, Research and Training (Short Courses) for the bulk materials handling industry. Independent expertise and cost-effective solutions to industrial problems. Our Mission: To help industry to get it’s powders and bulk materials to behave in the way they need them to. 2024 marked 50 years of service to the bulk solids handling industry. We shall continue to help Industry solve its bulk materials handling issues.

A properly designed storage or handling system keeps plant safe, reliable and reduces downtime as well as extending the life of equipment. We’ll cover the basics in operation, design and specification including an introduction to the storage and flow of bulk solid materials in hoppers, silos, bins and bunkers, feeders and feeding, hopper discharge aids and the prediction of discharge rates. We will also look closely at ways to determine the correct design for reliable discharge, including determining flow properties of bulk solids, hopper geometry and practical design considerations. The third day, an optional session in the onsite laboratories, allows delegates the opportunity to see demonstrations of equipment used to test storage and discharge conditions. Please join us on 21 - 23 April.

Basic and advanced short courses looking at the operation, design and specifications of hoppers and silos for reliable discharge Each course take place in Chatham, Kent, UK at the Wolfson Centre premises and gives delegates the opportunity to speak to the experts and network with other attendees. Storage and Discharge of Powders and Bulk Materials; 16 – 17 April 2024 A basic general short course covering some of the most common issues encountered by process engineers when handling bulk materials including material build-up in hoppers and unreliable discharge of the contents. Attendees are also invited to join the Practical Workshop on 18 April, where some of the theory aspects are demonstrated in our on-site Pilot Plant. Design of Equipment for Storing and Discharging Bulk Material; 15 – 16 May 2024 An advanced course offering an assessment of storage and handling requirements of bulk materials for drawing up specifications and designing hoppers and silos. These courses are led by Dr Baldeep Kaur, whose interests lie in characterisation and storage of bulk materials. Who…

Der Intensivkurs ”Lagerung und Austragung von Pulvern und Schüttgütern” wurde speziell für die Lösung von Problemen mit Trichtern, Silos, Behältern und Bunkern entwickelt Trichter, Silos, Behälter und Bunker werden in der Industrie häufig zur Lagerung von Schüttgütern verwendet. Bei diesen Anlagen können jedoch Betriebsprobleme auftreten - oft, weil sie ohne Kenntnis der Fließeigenschaften des zu lagernden Materials konzipiert wurden. Dieser Intensivkurs wurde speziell entwickelt, um bei der Lösung solcher Probleme zu helfen. Kurs Lagerung und Entleerung... Overview: Facilities storing bulk solid materials sometimes experience operational problems – often because they have been designed without knowledge of the flow characteristics of the material to be stored. This course advises on preventing such problems. Subjects covered: * An introduction to the storage and flow of bulk solid materials in hoppers, bins and bunkers * Determining the flow properties of bulk solids * Determination of hopper geometry * Predicting discharge rates * Feeders and feeding * Hopper discharge aids * Prediction of wall loadings and their…

A general short course covering some of the most common issues met by process engineers when handling bulk materials including material build-up in hoppers and unreliable discharge of the contents. Taking place in April you will learn about * Basics of hopper and silo design and function * Dealing with potential problems * Discharge aids and interfacing to feeders These courses are being offered in two formats: * Online: delivered over 5 morning sessions, 4 – 8 April * Face to face: If you prefer to attend in person, you can now do so for a two day course at our premises in Chatham, Kent. 26 – 27 April The course content is the same on either course. Attendees on either course are also invited to join the Practical Workshop on 28 April, where some of the theory aspects are demonstrated in our on-site laboratories. Who should attend? All courses are written with the engineer in mind. They are recommended for operators who handle bulk materials daily, for maintenance, Health & Safety officers, plant or equipment designers and manufacturers, or management of such staff. Anyone who handles any form of bulk material could benefit from attending.
