K State's Processing & Handling of Bulk Solids Class Coming in May

Kansas State University is holding a two-day course on May 21-22, 2024, at its Olathe campus.

The course, Processing and Handling of Bulk Solid Materials, is for engineers, technicians, maintenance, and operations personnel who work with these processes, as well as sales and management personnel who work for companies using or selling this type of equipment or systems.

Processing and handling of powders and other bulk solid materials is widespread, but proper operation and system design are a challenge. Learning is difficult partly because there are so many variations and partly because no one teaches it in college. Accordingly, this course is intended to provide a basic understanding about the various bulk solid processes and handling methods.

During the course, attendees will learn material properties and how they affect equipment and system design. Then the major processes will be described. Photos and models of equipment for the major processes are reviewed and advantages and disadvantages of the major options are discussed. This practical course includes a lot of suggestions about how to improve your process and a lot of do’s and don’ts for various applications.

Topics include:
