Advances in control methods are being matched with improved predictability and reliability of the processes being controlled. The intensive and integrative nature of many production lines crucially depends upon each element working to its full design capability. Solid feeding operations comprise a key activity, renowned for operating difficulties out of all proportion to the cost of the equipment. This excellent book, by an acknowledged expert in the area, provides a valuable introduction to the subject together with guidance on the selection and application of a range of screw feeders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCOMPLETE CONTENTS:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClasses of Screw Equipment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eScrew Feeder Types\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConstruction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInterfacing Screw Feeders with Hoppers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelection Criteria\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecial Forms of Screw Feeders\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCase Studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  The British Materials Handling Board, following their long-term promotion of bulk storage and handling interests, perceived the need to make available a practical guide to the design, selection, and application of screw feeders. the author, \u003cb\u003eLyn Bates\u003c\/b\u003e, as an international renowned expert in this field, was commissioned to prepare this user Guide.  \u003cp\u003eAs Managing Director of Ajax Equipment Limited, a company that specializes in screw-type equipment for solids handling, he enjoys a 'hands-on' attitude to powder handling problems. He has introduced various design innovations and patents in the field and designed various instruments for measuring flow-related powder properties. As a member and past chairman of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Bulk Materials Handling Committee, he produced a 'Guide to the Specification of Bulk Solids for Storage and Handling Applications'. An active member of the European Federation of chemical Engineers Working Party on the Mechanics of Particulate Solids, and sitting on various BSI and other technical committees, he is dedicated to promoting education in this specialized section of engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLyn Bates\u003c\/b\u003e has written many technical papers and publications on aspects of bulk solids handling.
