Altair Webinar : Simulation-based Design & Performance Verification of Transfer Chutes – Case study (Part 2)

This webinar will demonstrate how bulk material flow simulation software can be used to evaluate and verify the design performance of transfer chutes. 

 It will address key engineering design challenges such as:  

- Prevent plugging 

- Reduce spillage and dust generation  

- Identify excessive material velocities  

- Identification of potential build-up regions  

- Ensure appropriate presentation onto equipment and belts  

- Optimize wear protection  

Agenda covers the following: Case study on coal transfer chute.  

- EDEM simulation of original design  

- Identification of potential issues: spillage, blockage  

- Development of a reliable design  

- EDEM simulation of proposed design  

- Overview of the design and operation improvements
