Course description
Pneumatic Conveying is one of the most commonly used means of transporting bulk solids in industry. Applications range from large-scale bulk cargo unloaders for ships through to small in-plant systems. The Wolfson Centre consultants have wide experience of different pneumatic conveying systems and types of problems that can arise as a result of mismatching materials, feeders, pipe designs or air movers to one another. They have pooled their vast knowledge and experience in dealing with these problems to deliver a 2 day course covering operational and design issues associated with such systems.
The third (optional) day will provide delegates with the opportunity to experiment with our equipment, some of which is not available anywhere else in the world.
The course has been designed to be suitable for newcomers into the field of pneumatic conveying as well as updating current practitioners.
Topics include:
Components of pneumatic conveying;
Design techniques;
Operational problems and effects on system design;
Operation and control of blow tanks, including the transport of powders;
Interfacing storage bins to conveying systems;
Explosion hazards, including ATEX directives;
All aspects of system selection and operation.
In the practical session you will be able to:
- Test materials with the aid of our experienced technicians and researchers
- Learn different methods of characterising materials
- Receive advice and recommendations on the results
The course is suitable for anyone involved in pneumatically conveying materials from the food, pharma, renewable energy, cement, mining, recycling industries amongst others.
For those wanting a more in-depth look at Pneumatic Conveying System Design an advanced course has been designed.
