Granular Dynamics Laboratory

Developing machinery for handling grains

There are all kinds of grains around us, such as sand and salt, and many machines are used to handle the grains that are present around us. However, the need for handling these grains more smoothly and quickly has become more pronounced in recent times. Our laboratory conducts research on developing machines that apply electrostatic forces on grains or vibrating them, which are much easier to operate than existing ones.
