Develop in-demand expertise in bulk materials handling reliability and failure prevention to enhance your engineering capabilities and support safer, more efficient plant operations. This short course will equip engineers and plant personnel with practical skills to troubleshoot failures and prevent downtime in bulk materials handling plants, improving reliability, performance, and maintenance decision‑making.
Through a hands-on, failure-focused approach, the course covers key equipment including crushers, conveyors, transfer points, screening systems, and dust control systems, and examines how operational conditions and material properties influence performance.
Participants will learn how to identify root causes of failures, apply structured troubleshooting methods, and implement practical solutions to improve reliability. The course also explores the cost of downtime and the economic benefits of effective maintenance and failure prevention strategies.
