Lecture 1: Flow Problems – Their effects and flow patterns Flow problems in your handling system can have serious consequences, where reliable solids flow is essential, especially with regard to operational costs and.. (click for more) |
 |
Lecture 2: Design principles for reliable flow – wall friction, flow and bin design Wall friction tests yielding the angle of wall friction, leads to determination of hopper angles required to ensure flow along the walls, which is mass flow.. (click for more) |
 |
Lecture 3: Feeders, both volumetric and gravimetric The key to reliable feeder design is to make sure that the feeder is capable of discharging your product uniformly over the entire outlet cross-sectional area.. (click for more) |
 |
Lecture 4: Measuring bulk solids flow properties – shear testing Wall friction tests are demonstrated using several wall surfaces, which lead to determining the hopper slope required to ensure flow along your hopper walls.. (click for more) |
