Kansas State University has begun construction on its 13,000-sq.-ft. Bulk Solids Innovation Center, a research facility that will be the first of its kind in North America.
The facility will be used to study and develop an understanding of bulk solids materials handling. According to the university, bulk solids account for more than 80 percent of items transported throughout the world. The center’s mission is to assist the businesses that use these materials or manufacture the systems that convey, store and dispense them.
