    Solids Flow Essentials module: flow pattern design notes for plant engineers

    Solids Flow Essentials module: flow pattern design notes for plant engineers

    First reported on Australian Mining

    30 Second Briefing

    Jenike & Johanson has launched the second module in its Solids Flow Essentials microlearning series, focused on flow patterns in bins, hoppers and chutes for process and plant engineers. The Flow Patterns module covers mass flow versus funnel flow behaviour, common failure modes such as arching and ratholing, and the impact of wall friction and hopper angle on discharge. The short-format training is aimed at engineers responsible for designing or troubleshooting bulk solids handling systems in mines and processing plants, where poor flow can choke crushers, feeders and transfer points.

    Technical Brief

    • Content is tailored for process, plant and safety engineers working with bulk solids handling equipment.
    • Focus is on practical troubleshooting steps that can be applied without immediate capital modifications.

    Our Take

    Jenike & Johanson’s Solids Flow Essentials sits within a relatively small cluster of 37 Software stories in our database, signalling that formalised digital or structured training tools for bulk solids handling are still niche compared with hardware-focused coverage in Australian Mining.

    Linking solids flow training to the Safety tag matches a wider pattern in our coverage where software and microlearning tools are increasingly framed as controls for process risk, rather than as optional professional development for engineers on projects.

    ABAX Tachograph for light vans: SMT2 compliance and data workflow notes for fleets

    ABAX has launched ABAX Tachograph to bring 2.5–3.5‑tonne light commercial vehicles into compliance with the EU Mobility Package’s Smart Tachograph 2 (SMT2) rules taking effect on 1 July for international transport. The system integrates LCVs and existing HGVs on a single Smart Operations platform, adding automated tachograph data downloads, violation analysis and driver data management rather than a separate standalone unit. ABAX is targeting fleets facing the 2026 full compliance deadline, aiming to simplify cross‑border operations and reduce manual admin around drivers’ hours enforcement.

    Liebherr extends MyLiebherr digital services: fleet data insights for engineers

    Liebherr is rolling out its expanded MyLiebherr Performance and MyLiebherr Maintenance digital services for earthmoving and material handling fleets in Australia, the UK, Ireland, Canada and the USA, with six months’ free access. The maintenance module gives workshop managers a fleet-wide status overview with traffic light condition coding, cause-specific alerts (e.g. upcoming services, low fluid levels), machine-level service histories and geo-tracked locations to plan bundled interventions. The performance module tracks utilisation, idle hours, fuel consumption versus a global average, and weighing data, enabling group comparisons by machine type or operation to tighten scheduling and cut operating costs.
