SOLIDS
HANDLING:
LAB, LECTURE, AND LUNCH
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. Furthermore,
different bulk solids testers are available to characterize
various properties of powders, yet many people are unfamiliar
with which properties are critical or how to apply the test
results for quality control purposes or hopper design. This
one-day seminar will provide solid insights into common
flow problems that arise when powders and bulk solids are
put into silos, bins, and hoppers. Ways to characterize
a material's flow properties will also be demonstrated in
our laboratory, along with a discussion of proven, practical,
and cost effective design solutions.
COURSE
OUTLINE
This course will run from 8 am until 5 pm, and will
include lunch and coffee breaks. An outline follows.
- Welcome and activities overview
- Introduction
to bulk solids handling and material testing
- Laboratory
tour with actual testing workshops/equipment demonstrations
- Training on advanced topics (e.g., feeder design, pneumatic
conveying, segregation)
- Open discussion opportunity with
J&J engineers
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Design, project, and research engineers or scientists, as
well as plant operation personnel who are responsible for solving
and preventing flow problems or purchasing solids handling
equipment, will benefit from the valuable information provided
in this course. Additionally, personnel interested in learning
more about bulk solids testing will find this course valuable.
