Subjects covered
- Understanding the forces between particles and how they relate to chemistry, the environment and physical processes;
- Methods for determining caking tendencies of powders and granules;
- Practical advice on changes to the product and the handling and storage conditions to reduce this problem;
- Advice on selection of the solution and practical implementation;
- Extensive case studies of caking problems and their solutions across the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, mineral and other industries.
Format
This course is designed with an emphasis on the practical aspects of technology. We begin with a comprehensive introduction to give a basic understanding of materials handling, before moving on to more detailed work.
We'll use case studies throughout to illustrate the presentations, with plenty of discussion periods so that we can analyse any specific problems experienced by attendees.
Is this for me?
The course is aimed at Produce Managers, Development Chemists/Formulators, Quality Assurance Officers and Plant Designers/Managers.
Operational staff or senior management will also benefit through a better understanding of what can go wrong and how to make your plant as efficient and trouble-free as possible. The course is ideal for those new to materials handling, those who require an update on the subject, or those who need a working knowledge of the behaviour of powdered/granular materials.
