W1. Powder Flow I: Measuring Powder Flowability & Its Applications
Nashville, TN • January 19-20, 2009 • Registration flyer
An intense 2-day powder flow & handling workshop, for those involved in industrial chemical, pharmaceutical or solids processing issues in which flow properties are critical, including material handling, segregation, feeding, roll pressing and tabletting. This course lays the groundwork for understanding the unique nature of powder flow properties, & its impact on processing & compaction, through team design problems & hands-on measurements by shear & permeability cell, fluidization/segregation testing, & roll press/tabletting demos.
W2. Powder Flow II: Industrial Solids Handling - Plant Design & Operation
Nashville, TN • January 21-23, 2009• Registration form •New Course!
By popular request, a new follow-on companion workshop treating industrial applications of the solids flow principles of Powder Flow I, delving into commonly encountered design & operational issues of powder systems. Topics include unassisted mass/funnel flow discharge; flow promoting devices, aeration and vibration; feeders; conveying of powders; & processing of segregating blends. This course is useful for anyone optimizing current or designing future solids handling systems. It presumes a requisite knowledge of powder flow principles such as Powder Flow I, or equivalent experience.
W3. An Introduction to Powder Processing
Nashville, TN • January 19-20, 2009 • Registration form •New Course!
A new, first powder technology workshop introducing participants to the unique attributes of powders, contrasted to more well understood liquids, and the impact of these complexities on solids processing. Topics include powder characterization; segregation & powder sampling; and an overview of key unit operations of mixing, grinding, agglomeration, classification, fluidization, and drying, as well as solids transport between unit operations.
W4. Granulation & Compaction Processes for Enhanced Product Performance
Nashville, TN • January 21-23, 2009 • Registration flyer
This agglomeration workshop is a relatively advanced course drawing heavily on the interaction between powder properties and unit-operations, covering a variety of granulation (fluid-bed, discs, pans, mixers) and compaction processes (roll pressing, tabletting, extrusion) as well as formulation techniques. It emphasizes the marriage between formulation properties, characterization techniques, and engineering scale-up in controlling granule & compact quality. Fluidization, mini-roller compactor and mixer granulator demos.
