Ore passes are a fundamental component of underground mining operations, yet they remain one of the most challenging structures to design and maintain. The Core Design Challenges Ore passes operate under some of the harshest conditions in underground mining. The consequences of poor design extend well beyond operational inefficiency. These risks make it clear why … Read more
Simcenter EDEM (formerly Altair EDEM) is advanced Discrete Element Method software used to simulate and analyse the behaviour of bulk materials such as rocks, ores, soils, powders, tablets, grains, seeds, and other granular materials. For engineering teams working with particle-based processes, bulk material interaction can be difficult to predict using physical testing alone. Material behaviour … Read more
Pharmaceutical manufacturing is full of variables, but few are as difficult to control as particulate behaviour. In Oral Solid Dose production, powders and granules move through storage, transfer, blending, granulation, compression, and coating stages that all depend on predictable material flow. When that behaviour changes, even slightly, it can affect process reliability, product consistency, development … Read more
Pneumatic conveying is widely used to transport bulk solids in industrial manufacturing processes because it offers a safe, flexible, and automation-friendly method of material handling. Even so, systems of this kind can still face issues such as plug flow, agglomeration, and blockages. These challenges often reduce process control, increase maintenance demands, and negatively affect product … Read more
