Expand your knowledge: Bulk Materials Handling Short Courses for the Process Engineer
Characterisation of bulk materials is a fundamental step towards solving handling issues
If you are new to the world of bulk solids handling technology, these 2 short courses could be of benefit, as they lead you through the basics of the many different issues facing process engineers working with powders and particulate materials.
Each course will be delivered on-line over a series of 5 afternoon sessions.
19 – 23 October: Overview of Particulate Handling Technology; an introduction to the storing and handling of bulk materials, equipment selection and design methodologies for safe and reliable plant.
Subjects covered include: storage and handling of bulk materials / hopper and silo design / feeder interfaces / discharge aids / sampling / characterisation techniques / dust control / separation and caking of bulk materials / methods of conveying – pneumatically, screw and belt.
16 – 20 November: Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Materials; components of pneumatic conveying systems, selection and design techniques
Subjects covered include: dilute and dense phase conveying / Selecting the correct hardware for your application / Matching appropriate feeders to pneumatic systems / Dust control methodology / Practical design considerations / Elimination of explosion hazards / Positive and negative pressure systems
During each course common operational problems encountered will be discussed, with possible solutions explored.
Full course details and on-line registration is available here
Advanced and specialised courses are also available for those with more experience or those who may wish to delve deeper into the subject area.
Discounts are available for multiple bookings and returning delegates Bespoke In-house courses can also be delivered at a time to suit operational needs, either on site (guidelines permitting) or on-line.

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.
