SOLIDS PROCESS MODELING, BULK EQUIPMENT PROTOTYPING, and POWDER FLUIDIZATION
Are you developing a unique process or a design for a challenging bulk solid? Our California facility, with experienced engineers and technicians, specializes in solids process modeling in whole or in part. We understand the importance of making sure the models are accurately scaled, both geometrically and with respect to bulk solids flow properties.
Typical applications we model:
Pilot-scale systems and bulk equipment prototyping
Proof-of-concept equipment and unique solids process modeling
Flow visualization experiments
High accuracy micro-feeding
Powder fluidization
Some of the modeling projects we have recently completed include:
Feeding a sticky, cohesive powder at extremely low rates (1 g/min.)
Micro-dosing a seasoning mixture uniformly
Aligning pharmaceutical tablets in a high speed filler
Feeding centrifuge wet cake into in a pneumatic conveying line
Filling of ammunition cartridges at high speeds
Feeding a reactor with biomass with continuous, high accuracy control
Operating powder fluidization model at high temperature
Testing of large particle bulk solids (e.g., mixture of coal and switch grass/woodchips)
If you would like to discuss how we could assist you by modeling your process, validate your designs, or develop designs for challenging applications, please contact a Jenike & Johanson engineer.
