Kurze Kurs: Caking and Lump Formation in Powders and Bulk Solids

Attendance on this on-line short course will give delegates the opportunity to learn how to control or minimise unwanted caking in particulate materials

For many industries controlling or minimising unwanted caking/ agglomeration of powders and particulate materials is a significant challenge which, in worst case scenario, can result in a halt in production.

This course aims to explain how and why caking/ lump formation occurs and how to avoid or minimise the risk.

Over the 2 sessions you will learn about:

Occurrences of caking in processes: A discussion of the methods that can be useful in predicting or trouble shooting unintended agglomeration of bulk materials in industry
Types of caking and methods for laboratory evaluation: A review of the range of caking mechanisms that can occur in processes and options for quantifying the ‘strength’ of agglomerates.
Common plant and operational issues: A session focussing on how various types of caking problems are created or exacerbated by the use of some types of standard equipment for handling bulk solids. Common design mistakes are highlighted and the impact of these errors explored. Counter measures and design best practice is discussed.

Course leader Richard Farnish has over 20 years’ experience dealing with the problems of caking and lump formation in powders and bulk materials and will be available to discuss your own issues.
