In-Plant Bulk Handling

Selecting In-Plant Bulk Handling Systems and Equipment

The selection of a suitable handling system for handling their materials can become a major management exercise. Flow, storage and handling properties, amongst many others, need to be considered. read...

Particulate Flow Analysis

Analysis of Flow in inclined Pipes and Transfer Chutes

In material transfer systems, traditional steady state analysis provide some insight. For fast flowing transfer points, dynamic flow conditions dominate and additional modeling techniques are required. read...

Bearings Selection

Energy efficient Deep Grove Ball Bearings for Efficiency

A new type of low-friction deep groove ball bearings combines an optimized internal geometry, low friction grease, and a new polymer cage for increased energy efficiency and service life. read...

System Design

Lignite and Coal Handling Systems

Although the characteristics of lignite and coal appear to be almost same, some differences do exist, which have an affect on the design of bulk materials handling systems for both materials. read...

Dredging

Digging and Dewatering of Sediments

An overview of current technologies to excavate sediments out of rivers together with detailed description of different methods for dewatering of sediments for further transport. read...

Coal Segregation

Effect of Moisture Content on Segregation of Coal Blends

Exhaustion of locally sources has led to coals being sourced globally which new challenges in storage and handling for existing equipment to deliver a blended coal suitable for combustion. read...

Long Distance Transport

Cost Saving of Overland Conveyor Compared to Coal Trucking

KPC plans to replace coal trucking at its West Melawan operation with overland conveying to reduce cost from fuel consumption, fuel price, and tyre supply. read...

Belt Conveyor Selection

Overland Conveyor: Trough Belt versus Cable Belt

A comparison of trough belt versus cable belt with respect to the primary parameters of power, consumption, volumetric capacity and maintenance issues, particularly idler replacement. read...

Silo Technology

Site Fabrication Methods for Aluminium Silos

Site fabrication of silos reduces transportation costs and transfer labor to the location of the new plant sites, frequently in developing countries or emerging markets with lower manhour cost. read...

Silo Technology

High-speed Wagon Loading Systems
