Transfer Chute Design 3-Day Short Course
TUNRA Bulk Solids will be running an online short course on Transfer Chute Design from 21 – 23 September 2020.
Key learning outcomes:
- 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 modelling 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
