Powder Flow, Handling & Storage

Hotel Phoenix, Central Copenhagen, Denmark

May 6 - 8, 2015



Three-day-course in English with main focus on:

Through presentations, exercises and plenum discussions participants

will acquire solid knowledge of powder flow, powder handling and pow-

der storage and be able to address practical problems in these areas:

• Particle technology & engineering basics relevant for powder flow

• Powder flow and properties, design principles

• Powder feeding

• Powder storage

• Particle enlargement, dry/wet granulation

• Particle size reduction, milling and micronisation

• Powder blending and segregation issues

• Mechanical properties of particles

• Case stories from the food and biotech industry

Target group

The course addresses technicians as well as product and process engineers working in the chemical, pharmaceutical, biotech and/or food industry with manufacture or development of powder products.

Form

The course runs for three consecutive days with alternating presentations, exercises and plenum discussions. The course is held in English.

Social event

On the afternoon of the first day the participants are invited on a one-hour guided harbour tour followed by dinner in the colourful 17th century waterfront of Nyhavn in the heart of Copenhagen.

Fee

The course fee is payable in advance and includes course materials, HP calculators, coffee & refreshments, lunch all three days as well as canal cruise tour and dinner on the first afternoon.

Per delegate EUR 1795,-

plus VAT. VAT is reclaimable.
