Summary
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course Transport and Storage Equipment is to acquaint the student with the basic types of transport equipment. Students will acquire knowledge of their design, types, basic calculations and suitability of use for individual process lines. Further, the student obtains information about capacity calculations of these devices. An integral part will be knowledge of the problems of material storage, failure of material flows from the container and their removal.
