Recent advances in bulk materials handling – a UK perspective — by Australian Bulk Handling Review — last modified Mar 03, 2010 01:03 PM

This paper focuses on providing an overview of various advances made in bulk materials handling practice in the United Kingdom in recent years.

On Improving the Calibration and Validation of Computer Simulations for Bulk Materials Handling Systems — by Bulk Handling Review — last modified Dec 08, 2009 09:00 AM

Discrete or Distinct Element Method (DEM) is proving to be a reliable and effective tool to model the behaviour of granular bulk materials. Numerous particle-scale (microscopic) mechanisms influence the bulk (macroscopic) behaviour of granular flow.

Single-run dynamic simulation of conveyor belts — by Australian Bulk Handling Review — last modified Jul 24, 2009 01:25 PM

Velocities and belt tensions are simulated for starting, running and stopping in a single computer run. Inclusion of static and inertial conditions for each mass of a distributed mass-elasticity mechanical model is used to assess possible design problems. Effects of profile, rolling resistance, drive inertia, take-up friction and dispersive wave action can be examined in advance of a final design.

Condition monitoring of steel cord belts by remote access — by Australian Bulk Handling Review — last modified Jul 24, 2009 01:16 PM

With nearly 30 years of experience in testing steel cord and fabric belts, the original inventor of conveyor belt monitoring (cbm) in Australia summarises some of the latest North American developments in practical and technology-appropriate steel cord belt scanning using remote access.

20 Years of AMIRA P266 “Improving Thickener Technology”: How Has It Changed The Understanding Of Thickener Performance? — by Australian Bulk Handling Review — last modified Jul 07, 2009 04:04 PM

 

The transport of fly ash pastes through pipelines — by Australian Bulk Handling Review — last modified Jul 01, 2009 09:47 AM

Fly ash and water mixtures were pumped through a closed loop pipeline at various flow rates and solids concentrations, ranging from 51% to 74% by mass, while the pressure losses were measured.

A project for keyless friction locking assemblies — by Australian Bulk Handling Review — last modified Jul 01, 2009 09:47 AM

The pumpability of coal washery thickener underflow — by Australian Bulk Handling Review — last modified Feb 18, 2010 02:08 PM

This paper examines the pumpability of high concentration thickener underflow slurries as measured by a rotary viscometer.

Optimising the live capacity of gravity reclaim stockpiles — by admin — last modified Apr 16, 2009 11:13 AM

A new theory for funnel-flow with particular reference to gravity reclaim stockpiles is presented.

Optimisation of overland conveyor performance — by admin — last modified Jun 16, 2009 12:15 PM

This paper will explore the key elements to consider when designing overland conveyors to ensure effective capital expenditure, long trouble free life, low maintenance and cost effective operation.
