Bulk Materials Handling Problem Solving 2013 is a course that covers topics such as:
- Hopper, silo and stockpile flow patterns (mass, funnel, expanded flow)
- Common flow problems (eg. ratholing, bridging, segregation, flooding)
- Proper bulk solids feeders and solve costly on-going problems
- Bulk solids flow properties and their use in design and troubleshooting
- Example: bulk material flow properties test report (FPTR)
- Gravity reclaim stockpiles to obtain maximum reclaim capacity
- Poor vs effective transfer chute designs to improve flow
- Designing a storage vessel with a proven step-by-step procedure
- Segregation mechanisms and implement practical solutions
Bulk Materials Handling Problem Solving 2013 brings together:
- Operation or process managers
- Plant and project managers
- Unit operators and superintendents
- Project and maintenance engineers
- Personnel new to the field of solids handling
