Short Courses for the Bulk Materials Handling Industry
If you are experiencing handling issues with your particulate materials, our series of short courses could help you find out why and how to resolve them.
Common issues such as segregation, caking /lumping, degradation/attrition, explosibility and discharge problems are all covered. Equipment selection and design is covered extensively in various courses...
All courses are designed to suit the needs of engineers handling bulk solid materials or designing equipment used in this industry.
You don't need advanced qualifications - a basic technical education and/or industry experience is enough.
