Solids Handling Study Bench

Product Description

• Solids Handling Study Bench/ Flow Properties of Bulk Solids
• The flow and handling characteristics of granular materials are relevant to many process industries, particularly in the handling of powders, pellets, crystals and aggregates.
• The Solids Handling Bench introduces students to the behavior of granular materials

• Comminution (size reduction by milling) and batch mixing using a ball mill
• Batch mixing of granular material (powder to powder) using a V blender
• Bulk density, particle density and porosity (void age) of different granular materials
• Angle of repose of different granular materials and demonstration of stratification/segregation when mixed materials are poured (modeling avalanches). Effect of moisture content
• Flow of granular materials through circular orifices and effect of moisture content
• Pneumatic conveying of fine granular materials and cyclone separation
• Analysis of size distribution, efficiency, loading etc. using a fixed amplitude vibratory shaker with 6 sieves
• Shearing of the bulk solid sample by motor rotation of the shear cell
• Vertical loading of the sample via ring-shaped lid with weights

• Force sensor to measure the shear forces
• Vernier caliper gauge to measure the change in height and density of the bulk sample
• Software to record the sheer force characteristics via US Bunder  Windows7
• evaluation software to determine their Levant bulk solid parameters
