Course Overview This course is designed to deal with issues relating to keeping powders and granules in a free-flowing, lump-free condition. A large percentage of work undertaken at the Wolfson Centre relates directly to the spoiling and/or solidifying of powders and particulates during handling, storage and discharge. In order to pass on this knowledge and expertise,…
Course overview The issue of de-blending (segregation) of bulk particulates is one that afflicts many diverse industry sectors. For single materials and blended materials the presence of segregation within a process can be apparent as fluctuations in bulk density, chemical composition, shifts in size distribution or even unpredictable flowability issues. These types of problems invariably lead to…
Course overview Electrostatic charges generated during industrial powder handling processes may give rise to unwanted particle cohesion or adhesion, which in turn results in difficulties such as particle agglomeration, segregation, material build-up on equipment and ignition of explosion, etc. Its impact is felt in terms of lower production yields and increased process downtime, or high…
