Techniques for Characterizing and Quantifying the Bulk Behavior
(including Flowability) of Granular Materials, Powders and Fine Particles
I completed my doctoral studies at the University of Rochester, focusing on the characterization and bulk material behavior of challenging powders and granular materials. At that time, I was using this knowledge to benefit the Office Imaging Division of Eastman Kodak, specifically with regard to toner, synthetic dyes and powdered metals. Since that time, I have consulted on subjects ranging from dusting of food additives to high compression industrial diamond fabrication.
The techniques that I developed and fabricated for my research are simple, effective and best of all valuable to organizations attempting to make sense of bulk material behavior with challenging powders, particulates or granular materials.
I am available to consult on specific powder-related projects and to provide technical support in the analysis of these powders or in the fabrication of in-house techniques to measure bulk material behaviors of these materials. In the past ten years, I have traveled to more than 19 countries and 46 states to assist various clients. I have a valid passport at all times.
Education
University of Rochester – Mechanical Engineering – Ph.D. 1996
Thesis: Characterization of Bulk Material Behavior for Granular Materials
Background
Fifteen years experience for Eastman Kodak designing every system in a modern photocopier, including toning stations and media handling systems. Four years experience with Commercial Shearing designing high pressure hydraulic valves, pumps and cylinders. Three years experience with American Paper Products designing high speed envelope manufacturing systems, utilizing dyes, inks, solvents and adhesives on a wide range of media, paper, card stock, cellophanes and inserts.
Public Technical Papers
An Alternative Technique for Establishing ANSI/CEMA Standard 550 Flowability Ratings for Granular Materials, Powder and Bulk Solids Conference, Rosemont, IL, May 1998.
Evaluation Techniques for Characterizing Cohesiveness and Relative Flowability in Granular Materials, International Adhesion Society Conference, Hilton Head, SC, February 1997.
A Comparison of Density Measurements for a Cohesive Powder, Powder and Bulk Solids Conference, Rosemont, IL, May 1996.
Analyzing the flowability of even the most difficult granular and powder materials.
