Using proprietary tools developed in-house based decades of bulk material handling research and commercial software such as ANSYS®, we have extensive analytical modeling capabilities.
Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations of particle flow
- Transfer chute analysis and design (use of calibrated DEM model)
- Prediction of absolute wear in transfer chutes and hoppers/silos
- Hopper analysis and design
- Rotating equipment (kilns, blenders) analysis
Process Equipment Analysis
- Particle-gas diffusion modeling for purge column residence time analysis
- Particle drying analysis for design of direct drying (contact bed) systems
- Gas-solids models for powder settlement, flow through lock-hoppers
- Air blaster design tool for selection, location, and usage optimization
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
