May 25-26, 2016 • Sudbury, Ontario
Jenike & Johanson Ltd., in conjunction with XPS Consulting & Testwork Services, are pleased to offer a 2-day course in bulk solids handling during May 25-26, 2016 in Sudbury, Ontario.
Presented by Tracy Holmes, Vice President of Jenike & Johanson Ltd. in Canada, this course will give you a strong fundamental understanding of bulk solids and their behavior, along with the general principles and practical applications of solids flow. You’ll find out how and why typical flow problems occur, and what simple, practical steps you can take to solve them. You’ll learn how to design bulk material-handling systems that work the way you want. Conquer your company’s flow difficulties by attending!
You can expect to:
- Cover a wide range of equipment types and the solutions to flow problems commonly associated with each of them.
- Gain a better understanding of how friction, cohesion, compressibility, and other properties affect the flow of solids through various types of feeders, chutes, reactors, bins and hoppers.
- See how to specify and select hardware best suited to various bulk solid flow problems and objectives, including how to retrofit existing equipment to correct flow problems.
- Solve problems associated with solids handling, such as lost production, downtime, extra labour, poor quality control, spoiled material, and unreliable equipment.
- Be alerted to the pitfalls in handling bulk solids.
Course Content
Attendees will learn critical design methodology for dealing with bulk solids emergencies or planning for new installations or plant expansions that incorporate solids handling:
- Typical flow problems and flow patterns
- Flow properties of bulk solids
- Volumetric and gravimetric feeders
- Calculating solids discharge rates
- Fine powder handling
- Chute design
- Particle segregation
- Flow corrective devices
- Stockpile design
Who Should Attend
Design, project, and research engineers, as well as plant operation personnel responsible for solving and preventing flow problems or purchasing solids handling equipment, will benefit from the valuable information provided in this course.
Jenike & Johanson engineers have been presenting courses for over 30 years. The courses have also been upgraded significantly in the past three years.

Tracy Holmes is Vice President of Jenike & Johanson Ltd. in Canada, and a senior project engineer. She received her B.ASc. in Civil Engineering from the University of Waterloo in Ontario. She specializes in the design and evaluation of bulk solids handling systems. Since joining JJL in 1994, Tracy has provided consulting services to a broad spectrum of national and international clients, troubleshooting and recommending corrective actions for flow problems, providing recommendations to avoid solid flow related problems in new installations.
In addition, she has hands-on experience and knowledge of measuring the flow properties of bulk solids. She frequently lectures at J&J and directly for clients, as well as through organizations such as Powder & Bulk Solids, American Institiute of Chemical Engineers, (AIChE) and Educational Program Innovation Center (EPIC).
She has co-authored and presented technical papers on subjects including reliable bulk solids handling, effective bin and feeder design, shipping of fine moist cargoes, and silo structural failures and maintenance. Her papers have been published in periodicals including Powder & Bulk Engineering and World Coal and she has lectured at mining conferences such as Canadian Mineral Processors (CMP) and The Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration Inc. (SME). She is currently working on a technical paper to be presented at the 28th International Mineral Processing Congress (IMPC 2016) to be held in Quebec in September.
