All too often facilities are designed without knowledge of the flow characteristics of the material to be stored. This intensive 3 day course has been specifically designed to help solve problems like these, covering the operation, design and specifications of hoppers and silos for reliable discharge.
- Basics of hopper and silo design and function
- Dealing with potential problems
- Discharge aids and interfacing to feeders
We’ll cover the basics in operation, design and specification including an introduction to the storage and flow of bulk solid materials in hoppers, silos, bins and bunkers, feeders and feeding, hopper discharge aids and the prediction of discharge rates.
We will also look closely at ways to determine the correct design for reliable discharge, including determining flow properties of bulk solids, hopper geometry and practical design considerations.
The third day, an optional session in the onsite laboratories, allows delegates the opportunity to see demonstrations of equipment used to test storage and discharge conditions.
Please join us on 21 - 23 April.
