Cost Effective Procurement and Maintenance of Bulk Solids Handling Systems
Short course
Course Overview
This course focuses on understanding the true cost of powder and bulk solids handling equipment, going beyond the initial purchase price to consider whole-life performance. It addresses how poor equipment matching, unresolved design uncertainties, and operational problems can significantly increase overall cost of ownership.
Key Topics
The curriculum examines how to make better technical and commercial decisions in specifying, purchasing, operating, and maintaining bulk solids handling equipment. It draws on real industrial examples to explore material behaviour, design uncertainty reduction, fit-for-purpose equipment selection, and the importance of whole-life performance to avoid costly problems.
Target Audience
Aimed at buyers, users, and suppliers of powder and bulk solids handling equipment, as well as those involved in engineering, procurement, operation, and maintenance. Delegates will learn to ask pertinent questions, seek evidence, and consider critical factors when selecting equipment for bulk solids handling and storage.
