bulk-online, the Powder/Bulk Portal

Biography:
1944 born in Munich, Germany;
Study of process engineering at the Technical University, Munich;
Dr.-Ing. degree at the University of Kaiserslautern; Scientific work in the first years on several fields of environmental protection, fluid, and particle dynamics; since 1983 increased activities on the fields of bulk solids handling: experimental investigations on the flow behaviour of bulk solids in flow handling devices (silos, gravity dryers, gravity mixers), especially influenced by inserts; flow visualisation; development of on-line measuring techniques for the measurement of residence time distributions and concentration of different coloured bulk solids; analysis, modeling, and design of gravity mixers; experimental investigations on the impact force of air blast devices and the influence of air pulses on compressed bulk solids.
