As you will no doubt have discovered, powders and bulk solid particulates do not always behave as you want them to, causing loss of production, damage to equipment, inconsistencies in dosing through irregular discharge or flow etc. This is where we can help you.
This course aims to provide the knowledge to assist you in identifying bulk solids handling problems and the techniques which can be employed to overcome them.
The following topics will be covered:
– Vessel design, including dimensions, feeders and discharge aids;
– Characterisation of materials;
– Pneumatic and mechanical handling;
– Feeder interfacing;
– Instrumentation and control of solids handling systems
– Dust control including ATEX Compliance
