2-Day Transfer Chute Design, Modelling and Optimisation Course – Newcastle, April 2027

27 April 2027 @ 8:00 am - 28 April 2027 @ 5:00 pm
$2,200

TUNRA continues to lead the way in specialised training for the bulk materials handling, mining, and industrial processing sectors. TUNRA’s courses are designed to deliver practical, research-backed knowledge developed through decades of industry collaboration, research and world-class expertise.  Expand your knowledge in:

  • Design principles for favourable transfer chute design
  • Bulk solid material properties and testing procedures required for design and flow analysis
  • Application of material properties in the design process including liner selection
  • Influence of bulk solid material and conveyor belt interaction prior to and post transfer
  • Transition zone and discharge trajectory considerations
  • Chute flow problems due to adhesion and wear
  • Dynamic modeling of transfer chute components for optimum accelerated flow
  • Optimising transfer chute design for feeding and transfer
  • Practical implementation of continuum mechanics analysis
  • Dust control during the transfer and redirection process
  • Optimising chute geometry for controlled wear in the flow zone and at the belt feed point
  • Overview of the principles of DEM analysis
  • Application of DEM and other modeling techniques
  • Close the gap in knowledge set of the analysis tools and techniques
  • Obtain specific problem solving skills for transfer chutes

This course will be of particular interest to a wide range of industries including:

  • Mining and mineral production processing
  • Power generation
  • Energy and environment
  • Chemical and petrochemical process industries
  • Agriculture processing and production
  • Manufacturing
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Food industry
