– Essential Training on Hopper and Silo Design for Reliable Bulk Material Handling

Hoppers, silos, bins, and bunkers are essential for storing bulk solid materials across various industries. However, operational issues often arise due to inadequate design that fails to consider the flow characteristics of the stored materials. This two-day course has been specifically developed to address and resolve these challenges.

What the Course Covers:

  • Fundamentals of hopper and silo design and operation
  • Identifying and managing potential problems
  • Discharge aids and effective interfacing with feeders

Additionally, participants have the option to attend a third-day workshop for hands-on experience.

Who Should Attend? 

This course is designed for industrial engineers and professionals involved in bulk material handling. It is highly beneficial for:

  • Operators handling bulk materials daily
  • Maintenance and Health & Safety officers
  • Plant or equipment designers and manufacturers
  • Management overseeing bulk material handling processes

In short, anyone working with powders, granules, and particulates in an industrial setting will gain valuable insights from this training.
