Centre for Bulk Solids & Particulate Technologies (BMH)

Professional Development Courses

The Centre for Bulk Solids & Particulate Technologies offers a range of professional development and training courses for industry. Each course is designed to assist the engineers, practitioners, managers, operators, designers, consultants and even researchers wishing to gain increased knowledge and assistance in specific areas. Two main types of course are offered:

  1. In-house (customised) courses for specific companies or organisations (duration and cost depend on demand, range of topics to be covered, number of participants, etc);
  2. Standard professional development courses for industry held each year at the University of Wollongong and/or the University of Newcastle. These courses are normally run 2 or 3 times a year on a 3-day basis, with an optional 4th day (free of charge) to go through problem-solving exercises and detailed industry case studies.


Some of the more popular standard courses include:

 Bulk Solids Handling (Storage and Flow)
 Belt Conveying
 Design and Operation of Pneumatic Conveying Systems
 Dust and Fume Control Technology
 Mechanical Handling Systems

About Us

Engineering Manufacturing Research (EMR) is based on several key manufacturing research groups in; Welding and Joining of steel and light alloys; Automation and Robotics; and Bulk Materials Handling.These strategic areas are supported by a Power Quality and Reliability Centre and two Intelligent Mechatronics Groups. Extensive use is made of computer aided design, numerical modelling and computer simulation techniques, and this is supported by experimental work in several large laboratories equipped with substantial state-of-the-art equipment and systems at the forefront of International Industry’s ‘best practice’.
