Die Prozesstechnik hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten enorm weiterentwickelt. Doch Fließprobleme bestehen weiterhin. Dieser Artikel erörtert einige der häufigsten Ursachen. Von R.J. Farnish Die Förderung und Lagerung von Schüttgütern innerhalb von Prozessen ist seit der industriellen Revolution im 18. Jahrhundert eine grundlegende Aufgabe für viele Anlagen. Die Prozesstechnologien haben sich in der Zwischenzeit bis heute in ihrer Komplexität und Effizienz enorm weiterentwickelt. Wäre es möglich, einen Ingenieur aus den Anfängen der Industrialisierung in die heutige Zeit zu versetzen, würde er angesichts der enormen Vielfalt an Prozessanlagen, die auf spezifische Anforderungen und Endprodukte zugeschnitten sind, seinen Augen kaum trauen. Was er jedoch mit Sicherheit wiedererkennen würde, sind schlecht funktionierende Silos, Bunker und Trichter, die nicht selten unsanft von den Anlagenbedienern bearbeitet werden. Dieser Artikel behandelt einige der häufigsten Ursachen für Verarbeitungs- und Fließprobleme, die über die Jahrzehnte hinweg bestehen geblieben sind. Grundlagen Die Austragsprobleme bei der Handhabung von Schüttgütern mit weniger…

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.

Join our series of workshops to gain first-hand experience of different test processes available with equipment in our on-site pilot plant At the Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology, we use many different processes and pieces of specialist equipment to characterise and test powders and particulates to identify why issues occur in their handling, storage and flow. Testing of particle strength, size, wear, flowability, dustiness, to name a few, can all be undertaken in our pilot plant. Some of this equipment is not available anywhere else in the world. Our experts will be on hand to demonstrate and guide attendees through the various sessions so that, by the end of each workshop, delegates will be armed with the knowledge to identify ways in which to prevent flow and handling issues occurring. Monday 16 March: Pneumatic Conveying Sessions covered: System Design Methods, Conveying Trials using an Industry Scale Test Rig, System Design - A Worked Example, Troubleshooting and System Optimisation Tuesday 17 March: Understanding Powder Flow Sessions covered: Measuring techniques,…
