As the chemical industry pushes for
increased automation, better quality, and improvements in its
safety, health, and environmental record, the development of
robust solids handling processes becomes vital. Data acquisition
and control of solids streams depend on reliable flow. Excessive
dusting, worn conveying lines, and obstructions to flow in silos
or hoppers can create dangerous work environments. Segregation of
components in blended powders can lead to out of spec products.
To solve flow problems in existing solids handling systems or
to develop recommendations for new systems, Jenike & Johanson
uses a scientific approach based on fundamental flow properties
of bulk materials, including cohesive strength, internal and
wall friction, compressibility, and permeability.
If your chemical plant is currently experiencing flow problems,
Jenike & Johanson can help you. If you are planning for a
new plant or production line, we can apply our industry-leading
technology and years of experience to avoid process upsets due
to mishandling of materials that are prone to arching, ratholing, flooding,
or segregation .
