Handling Bulk Solids

| By Chemical Engineering

This firm offers flow-properties testing services

To ensure sound, predictable operation of processes involving bulk solids, operators must have a thorough understanding of the bulk material’s flow properties. Such insight is essential when designing silos, bins, hoppers, feeding systems, chutes, conveyors and more, and can help to identify the cause of poor flow, powder flooding and rate limitations, segregation issues and product non-uniformity. This company provides a wide array of testing services, to assess a material’s cohesive strength, wall friction, internal friction, compressibility, permeability, angle of repose, density and more.— Jenike & Johanson, Tyngsboro, Mass.
