Bulk solids systems can introduce more than just flow challenges. Inadequate design inputs and poor equipment selection often lead to dust exposure, product degradation, segregation, reliability issues, and increased safety risk—impacting both plant performance and product quality.


This session provides a practical framework for evaluating system design through the lens of material properties, airflow, transfer point design, and equipment selection. Attendees will learn how these factors interact to influence product integrity, system reliability, and overall operational efficiency. The discussion will highlight common design oversights that contribute to dust generation, over-processing, and downtime, along with strategies to address them early in the design or retrofit process.


By focusing on real-world applications, this webinar equips engineers and operations professionals with the tools to design bulk solids systems that are safer, cleaner, and more dependable from the start.


Key Takeaways:
  • Identify common causes of dust, product degradation, and downtime in bulk solids handling systems
  • Understand how material properties and airflow influence system performance and product integrity
  • Evaluate transfer point and equipment design to reduce segregation, damage, and maintenance issues
  • Apply practical design strategies to improve safety, reliability, and overall system efficiency
