Learn about the flow of bulk solids in bins, hoppers, feeders and their pneumatic transport at ASME/AIChE in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 15-17 and Houston, Texas on June 7-9
 Jenike & Johanson engineers will be presenting their popular powder and bulk solids handling courses for ASME/AIChE in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 15-17 and Houston, Texas on June 7-9.
The training will include discussion of hopper flow patterns, testing of powder flow properties and their relation to silo and hopper design, feeder design principles, handling of fine powders and fluidization, segregation of bulk solids, transfer chute design, and the proper use of flow aids. The third day will include a discussion of the fundamentals of pneumatic transport and how to troubleshoot and solve problems with a poorly operating pneumatic conveying system.
Proper training of personnel involved in solids handling and processing is essential to operating an efficient and reliable bulk solids handling system. Since the theory of bulk solids handling is seldom a part of formal engineering training, many in industry lack an understanding of why solids handling problems occur and what practical steps can be taken to diagnose, alleviate, or prevent them. Training helps to foster greater awareness of operating efficiency, safety, and process improvement, along with an understanding of the reasoning behind required equipment modifications or upgrades.

Acquire valuable powder processing knowledge at Interphex 2010 on April 21
James K. Prescott, a Senior Consultant with Jenike & Johanson, will be discussing “Developing Robust Manufacturing Processes For Direct-Compression Operations” at the upcoming Interphex 2010 in New York City in April 20-22, 2010.
Direct compression tableting operations rely on obtaining a uniform blend of multiple components, and transferring that blend reliably from the blending operation to compression. Low dose products can be susceptible to segregation and sampling errors, while high dose products can be susceptible to erratic flow, weight variations, and feed rate limitations. Demonstrating that these manufacturing processes are robust, and establishing their design spaces, is essential to minimizing risk before heading into validation.
Process understanding can be gained via trial-and-error; however, if built on first-principle behaviors, uncertainty is significantly reduced. Discussions will include how to set design specifications and establish design spaces for materials and equipment, as related to powder storage, handling and transfer behaviors in manufacturing.

Gain useful bulk solids handling knowledge at the 2010 Powder Show (PTXi - International Powder & Bulk Solids) in Chicago on May 4-6
Jenike & Johanson engineers will be presenting their popular powder and bulk solids handling courses at the upcoming 2010 Powder Show (PTXi - International Powder & Bulk Solids) in Chicago, Illinois in May 4-6, 2010.
Sessions to include discussion of common flow problems, testing of powder flow properties and their relation to bin/vessel/silo design, feeder design principles, caking of powders, preventing particle damage, powder blending, particle segregation, and transfer chute design. Proper training of personnel involved in solids handling and processing is essential to operating an efficient and reliable bulk solids handling system. Since the theory of bulk solids handling is seldom a part of formal engineering training, many in industry lack an understanding of why solids handling problems occur and what practical steps can be taken to diagnose, alleviate, or prevent them.

Jenike & Johanson Launches New Website in Spanish
Jenike & Johanson, Inc., a world leader in the engineering of powder and bulk solids handling, is pleased to announce its newest web site is available in Spanish.
The web site is filled with case studies, technical newsletters, technical papers and examples of powder and bulk solids flow problems, and techniques for solving handling problems for all types of bulk solids. There are industry specific pages that focus on the bulk solids problems occurring in those industries. There is also background on Jenike & Johanson’s services and capabilities for solving and avoiding bulk solids handling problems.
