The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology, based at the University of Greenwich in Medway, specialises in helping industry solve its powder and particulate handling problems through consultancy and training.
Our popular pneumatic conveying course, in May, looks at subjects including system components, design techniques, operation and control of blow tank systems, explosion hazards and operational problems. The course also deals with the important but often neglected area of interfacing storage bins with conveying systems.
16 – 18 May or 14 – 16 November: (includes optional practical session on Day 3)
You will learn:
- Techniques for reducing product degradation during conveying
- Ways to reduce maintenance, repair and unplanned stoppages to pneumatic conveying equipment
- Methods of reducing energy consumption
- How to troubleshoot problematic systems
- How to eliminate blockages in pneumatic pipelines
- Explosion Hazards including ATEX Directives
- Operation and control of blow tanks
- System selection and operation
- Interfacing storage bins to conveying systems
- Relevant case studies from industry
The practical session on Day 3 allows delegates the opportunity to use equipment not available in their workplace, or to learn new techniques.
Course fees from £765 per delegate*
*****
For those wanting a more in-depth look at the Design of Pneumatic Conveying Systems, an advanced course has been set up.
5 – 6 December: Advanced course; Pneumatic Conveying System Design; the ultimate aim being to share the most up-to-date knowledge on how to obtain pipeline designs that work reliably, delivering the required throughput without unplanned maintenance and undesired impact on quality of the powder being handled.
Both of these courses can be held on your own premises at a time to suit your operational requirements. Modules can be mixed and matched to provide a bespoke course. Please contact us for details.
*Course fees will be discounted for delegates attending both courses or for multiple registrations on either course; please see www.bulksolids.com for details.

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.
