Powder Handling Workshops | 25–28 February
Key points
The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology invites you to a detailed series of Powder Handling Workshops from 25 to 28 February. Our facility features a wide range of specialized equipment designed to analyze and test powders and particulates, tackling the challenges associated with their handling and flow. Key evaluations include particle strength, size, wear, flowability, and dustiness—many of which utilize unique equipment that is not available anywhere else in the world.
Experience Hands-On Learning with Leading Techniques
These workshops provide participants with a unique chance to engage directly with advanced testing methods. Our team of experts will offer thorough demonstrations and hands-on support throughout each session. By the end of the workshops, attendees will have the knowledge and skills needed to identify, address, and prevent issues related to powder flow and handling.
Flexible, Stand-Alone Sessions
Each workshop is designed as an independent session, allowing participants to choose based on their specific interests and schedules. Sessions will take place daily from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, providing plenty of time for both theoretical insights and practical experience.

About us
Our Mission: To help industry to get it's powders and bulk materials to behave in the way they need them to!
Our Services:
- Consultancy
- Research
- Short Courses
Our Clients:
Industries involved in the processing of powders, particulates and other bulk solids materials from across the spectrum including (but not limited to) food and drink, pharmaceuticals, minerals, renewable energy, chemicals, plastics, recycling, metals, household goods, paper, cosmetics, textiles and rubber.
Ranging from small local companies to international conglomerates.
Our industrial-scale pilot plant is available to test a processing step, or mock up a whole handling process or logistics chain, at full scale or near full scale. This can be used to find and solve the problems off-line, then when you transfer the same process or material to your own or your customers' plant, you can be confident it will work!
Our Experts have over one hundred man-years of experience in solving bulk materials handling problems. Along with a team of Researchers they concentrate on nothing else but the needs of Industry – and are at your disposal.
Our location offers excellent transport links within the UK and EU enabling us to provide a prompt and flexible response to site visit requests and client meetings.
