Pneumatic conveying is one of the most commonly used means of transporting bulk solids. Applications range from large scale ship bulk cargo unloaders through to small in-plant systems.
The consultants at the Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology have considerable experience of different pneumatic conveying systems and the types of problems that can arise as a result of mismatching materials, feeders, pipe designs, or air movers to one another.
They have pooled their vast knowledge and experience in dealing with these problems to deliver a 2 day course which will cover operational and design issues associated with such systems.
The following topics will be covered:
– Components of pneumatic conveying systems;
– Design Techniques;
– Operational problems and effects on system design
– Operation and control of blow tanks, including the transport of powders
– Interfacing storage bins to conveying systems
– Explosion hazards, including ATEX directives
– All aspects of system selection and operation
The cost of the course is £680 per delegate. This includes course notes, refreshments and a course meal on the first evening. Discounts are available for multiple bookings – see website for details.
The course is aimed at Engineers, Managers, Skilled operatives and maintenance crew or anyone involved in using bulk solid materials such as equipment manufacturers. A basic technical education and/or experience in industry is recommended. It is aimed to be suitable for newcomers to the industry as well as updating current practitioners.
On-line booking forms are available on our website www.bulksolids.com. Numbers for the courses are limited to allow delegates the time to discuss their own operational needs and problems.
