In more re-cent times, different modes of dense-phase have been developed to take advantage of the different behavioral properties of bulk materials and also to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of industry in the areas of system reliability, product quality control and energy efficiency.

The analysis of the design was done through the use of Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) software as well as the more traditional Continuum method. Following the initial design review, possible design revisions were made using the analysis provided by DEM. No publisher T.J. Donohue*, D. Ilic*, R. Bell**, L.

Quantitative measurements and qualitative observations are provided to determine the accuracy of the reaction forces and the bulk material trajectories between conventional continuum mechanics, DEM and experimental data. The effects of scaling-up the material model in DEM simulations are evaluated to examine possible procedures to optimise DEM simulations.

It was proved that the selective DEM analysis enables designers to quantify the effect of design parameters. It also provided the critical operational envelop of the transfer chute if the bulk material handling properties and contact surface characteristics vary significantly.

In cases studies, a few demanding conveyor applications are described to illustrate the drives system selection and system integration aspects. Finally, an innovative integrated control system solution for conveyors is shown that allows faster and easier design and installation of conveyor VVVF drive systems.
