Understanding powders and particulate materials

Ensuring you understand the behaviour of your powders and particulate materials is essential for many processes and design elements in industry...                                                                                                       

Theory and practical sessions will be provided in this in-depth 2 day course.

Measurement of the Properties and Behaviour of Powders and Particulate Materials

20 – 21 0ctober at the University of Greenwich Wolfson Centre; Chatham, Kent

If your processes are being interrupted by irregular discharge, caking, separation of materials, moisture uptake, unexplained wear to equipment etc, you will find this course invaluable.

• Why did the last batch of materials discharge perfectly well, but this new one halts production?
• What happened to stop the flow of materials through the conveying lines when everything has been fine for years?

These kinds of questions will be answered in this interactive course through learning about

• Particle size measurement techniques
• Particle Density (solid and bulk)
• Flow property measurements
• Moisture uptake
• Propensity for Segregation/de-blending
• Degradation/friability of bulk through handling systems
• Caking/agglomeration of bulk materials in storage
• Explosability
• Pneumatic conveying properties
• Dustiness testing
• Mechanical Surface Energy Testing

Turn up armed with Questions…….. Leave with answers to help resolve your issues
