Jenike & Johanson: Mining Material Flow, DEM, Chutes, & Bulk Solids Engineering Solutions #389
Material flow is a critical but often overlooked part of mining operations. Blocked chutes, plugged bins, inefficient transfer points, and inconsistent bulk material flow can quickly lead to downtime, reduced throughput, equipment wear, and lost productivity.
In this Mining NOW episode, filmed at SME MINEXCHANGE, host Jerrod Downey sits down with Tracy Holmes, David Craig, and Carrie Hartford of Jenike & Johanson to explore how bulk solids engineering and science-based material handling solutions are helping mining companies solve difficult flow problems.
The discussion covers DEM simulation, physical modeling, material testing, transfer chute design, material flow analysis, equipment supply, and bulk solids testing. The team explains how understanding the flow properties of different materials can help engineers design more reliable systems and identify potential problems before they become expensive issues in the field.
Real-world mining applications include transfer chutes, stockpiles, belt tracking, wear, segregation, and difficult bulk materials. By combining engineering analysis with testing and simulation, mining operations can improve material flow, increase throughput, reduce equipment wear, and minimize unplanned downtime.
For professionals involved in mining engineering, mineral processing, bulk material handling, conveyor systems, and mine operations, this episode offers practical insight into designing more efficient and reliable material handling systems.
Watch the full episode to hear how Jenike & Johanson is helping mining and heavy industries improve material flow and make better engineering decisions through science-based bulk solids engineering.
