SUMMARY:Mixing 101
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Jim Halbleib \nFull Course (2 hours\, .2 CEUs) \n$245 AFS Members\n$295 Non-members\n \n  \nAbout this course: \nThe Mixing 101 class will provide an understanding of the scientific principles behind mixing processes\, mixing tasks\, allowing you to optimize mixing equipment selection\, improve product quality and consistency\, and efficiently design new mixing processes within your industry\, particularly in fields like pharmaceuticals\, chemicals\, food production\, and cosmetics where precise mixing is critical for product efficacy\, safety\, and filtration. \n  \nLearning Objectives – After taking Mixing 101\, learners will understand: \n\nMixing theory: Learn the fundamental concepts of fluid dynamics\, mixing mechanisms\, and factors affecting mixing efficiency\, including viscosity\, particle size\, and flow patterns.\nEquipment selection: Gain knowledge about different types of industrial mixers\, like paddle mixers\, high shear mixers\, and ribbon blenders\, and how to choose the appropriate equipment for specific applications based on material properties and desired outcomes.\n\nOutline: \n\nMixing Task\nFluid Rheology (Turbulent vs Fluid)\nFlow Regimes\nImpellers\nSolid Suspension\nGas Dispersion\nMechanical Seals\nR and D and Scale up\n\nWho should attend:\n \nThis course is ideal for chemical engineers\, process engineers\, production technicians\, quality control personnel\, researchers developing new products\, and individuals working in industries like pharmaceuticals\, food processing\, cosmetics\, and chemical manufacturing.  \n\nInstructor:\n \nJim Halbleib holds a Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Louisville and brings over 30 years of experience in heavy industrial process equipment sales and services. With a strong background in industrial pumps\, agitators\, heat exchangers\, and related equipment\, he has spent more than 20 years specializing in sales within these critical sectors. \nAs a Business Development Manager\, Jim has led initiatives in programmable logic controllers (PLCs)\, variable speed drives\, and online vibration monitoring systems\, helping industries optimize performance and reliability. His expertise extends to non-destructive testing (NDT) services\, including Phased Array UT\, X-ray\, Acoustic Emission\, Magnetic Particle Inspection\, and Heat Treatment services. \nAdditionally\, Jim has experience in Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) and gas analyzers\, working with both industrial clients and ambient air agencies to ensure compliance and operational efficiency. He is also a Level 2 Vibration Analyst\, further demonstrating his commitment to predictive maintenance and equipment reliability.
