Bulk Materials Handling Fundamentals1 day training in the technical aspects of the design, implementation, operation of bulk handling installations, & how to diagnose & alleviate typical problems that occur |
|
|
Key Learning Outcomes
- Examine typical components of global bulk operations
- Key aspects of material properties and their effects on chute, hopper, bin designs
- Interpretation of your bulk handling process and sizing of equipment
- Layouts and design fundamentals – design challenges, pitfalls and traps
- Safe and environmentally sensitive bulk materials handling systems
- Understand construction and maintenance fundamentals
- Review key equipment, machinery and storage: conveyor systems, chutes, hoppers, bins, stockpiles, stockyards etc., selection criteria and cost implications
- Upgrade considerations for existing systems
- Key operation issues and how they are addressed, what they could cost
The design of bulk materials handling systems is no longer a black art.
Basic knowledge and attention to detail will avoid:
- Erratic flow, no flow, or below target throughputs
- Poor product control and quality
- Safety and operational issues including dust generation, spillage, noise and equipment failure

About the Course
The world is now dependent on resource development to supply the raw materials for our wants and needs. Few aspects of resource industries can avoid moving large volumes of ores and other bulk solids.
The design of bulk materials handling systems is no longer a black art; basic knowledge and attention to detail will avoid:
- Erratic flow, no flow, or below target throughputs
- Poor product control and quality
- Safety and operational issues including dust generation, spillage, noise and equipment failure
This course will look at the fundamentals of bulk materials handling, including a systematic approach to design, implementation and operation of bulk materials handling installations, typical equipment used, problems that occur and what practical steps can be taken to diagnose, alleviate, or prevent them.
This course provides an overview and introduction to bulk materials handling as guidance for non-practitioners, or as a starting point for a career in this industry.
Who Should Attend
- Engineers who work/have an interest in bulk materials handling
- New and graduate engineers
- Operating and maintenance personnel
- Project managers and operations managers for bulk materials handling projects
- Non-technical people who work with/consult to the industry
- Those who make investment decisions on bulk handling systems
