Free webinar: Prediction of Bulk Flow Properties

Consultancy, Research and Training (Short Courses) for the bulk materials handling industry. Independent expertise and cost-effective solutions to industrial problems. Our Mission: To help industry to get it’s powders and bulk materials to behave in the way they need them to. 2024 - Celebrating 50 years of service to the bulk solids handling industry

Measuring forces between particles and surfaces in cohesive powders. The webinar will focus on elucidating a unique test technique for measuring forces between particles and surfaces using cohesive powders in a mechanical surface energy tester developed by Dr Vivek Garg in conjunction with experts at The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology at the University of Greenwich. The technique focuses on predicting the powder flow function using this novel technique in conjunction with common particle attributes, with the goal of predicting flowability problems at an early stage of formulation using only a small amount of powder sample. This session will discuss this technique and the research conducted in Industry.

Each month we aim to provide insight into a different bulk materials handling topic. Each webinar will last for 30 minutes, followed by a Q&A session. 30 September:*NEWLINE*Is it possible to predict segregation in large scale industrial silos? Presenter: Dr Susantha (Jeff) Dissanayake Predicting segregation is important for reducing sudden fines spikes during discharge from silos. Jeff, in conjunction with experts at The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solid Handling Technology, has recently developed Cellular Automata (CA) based modelling to predict segregation in industrial hoppers and silos. Initial results have shown promising outcomes. This session will discuss this technique and the research conducted in Industry. 28 October:*NEWLINE* Prediction of Bulk Flow Properties using Mechanical Surface Energy Tester Presenter: Dr Vivek Garg Measuring forces between particles and surfaces in cohesive powders The webinar will focus on elucidating a unique test technique for measuring forces between particles and surfaces using cohesive powders in a mechanical surface energy tester developed by Vivek in conjunction
