Short courses for Industries that use Powders and Particulates
Learn the techniques to predict and solve bulk materials handling problems
The course calendar for 2019 is now out – book early to secure your place.
Look out for the new courses below, designed due to an increase in the number of problems we are asked to help with:
| 14 – 15 February | Pneumatic Conveying System Design; in-depth exploration of detailed calculations for design of pneumatic pipelines and specifying associated plant |
| 6 March | Dust Control for Processes; dust prevention, capture and extraction methods |
| 12 – 13 March | Port and Terminal Operations for Bulk Cargoes; bulk materials handling and safety issues at ports and at sea |
| 1 – 2 May | Design of Equipment for Storing and Discharging Bulk Materials; developed with specification writers and equipment designers in mind |
| 22 – 23 May | Numerical Modelling of Solids Handling and Processing; explanation of key principles for each method and how to relate them to particulate and bulk characterisation |
| 4 – 6 June | Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Materials; components of pneumatic conveying systems, system selection and design techniques |
| 2 – 3 July | Powder Handling and Flow for Additive Manufacturing; a guide through the critical aspects of powder handling and management for powder-based additive manufacturing processing |
| 24 – 26 Sept | Storage and Discharge of Powders and Bulk Materials; basics of hopper and silo operation, design and specification, including storage and flow of materials, and selection of feeders and discharge aids. |
| 22 – 24 October | Overview of Particulate Handling Technology; introduction to the storing and handling of bulk materials, equipment selection and design methodologies for safe and reliable plant |
| 12 – 13 November | Pneumatic Conveying System Design; in-depth exploration of detailed calculations for design of pneumatic pipelines and specifying associated plant |
| 14 November | Rotary Valves: Design, Selection and Operational Issues; an exploration of the different valves and features availableboo |
Who should attend?
- Equipment designers and manufacturers of bulk materials handling equipment – such as discharge vessels, storage bins, pneumatic and mechanical conveying systems, equipment elements such as screw feeders, bin linings, dust control systems – to name but a few.
- Equipment/ site operators, process/engineering/operations managers, senior management, transport/logistics operators
- Health and Safety officials
- Anyone who handles powders and particulates could benefit

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.
