Compared to fluids, engineers’ training and education in bulk solids handling is lacking. Perhaps that is why it is often easy to identify which lines or equipment in a facility handle powders — they ...

The workplace of today sees chemical handling compliance as a standardized necessity, often dictated by stringent regulations. Yet, a cursory glance at safety records reveals a troubling number of ...

Powder-container design affects discharge rate, cleanability, and powder flow. Flow problems, such as ratholing, arching, and erratic flow, can be eliminated with appropriate container geometry.

This article, presents a new collaborative study from Freeman Technology and Gericke to establish predictive correlations for the volumetric flow rate delivered by screw feeders, using dynamic powder ...
