Avoid Costly Flow Problems in Your Bulk Material Handling Systems

When bulk solids don’t flow as expected, the consequences can be severe—leading to lost production, material waste, equipment damage, and even safety hazards. Are you experiencing inconsistent flow, blockages, or erratic discharges in your bins, hoppers, or feeders? If so, you’re not alone.

In this must-read whitepaper, leading experts J. Marinelli and Dr. John W. Carson analyze real-world case histories of solids flow failures across industries—from glass manufacturing to power plants—and reveal the root causes behind these costly problems. More importantly, they provide actionable solutions to ensure smooth, reliable flow in your operations.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why funnel flow can lead to stagnant regions, material spoilage, and erratic discharges

• How to identify ratholing and flooding risks before they cause costly shutdowns

• The critical differences between funnel flow vs. mass flow—and why it matters

• How to design storage systems that prevent segregation, oxidation, and material degradation

• Proven strategies to ensure your bins, silos, and feeders operate efficiently

Who Should Read This?

This whitepaper is essential for engineers, plant managers, operations personnel, and anyone involved in bulk material handling. Whether you work in manufacturing, energy, chemicals, or food processing, these insights can help you prevent flow issues and optimize your storage systems.
