Free Webinars for Bulk Materials Handling Industries
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
