- This yielded novel tester for the strength of bulk materials, from EPSRC (EP/N025261/1) grant, was adopted for cake strength and time consolidation tests for consultancy work for silo design; 5 plants around the world have benefited. It was chosen for a substantial programme of applied research drawn up for American Sugar Refiners, to optimise formulation of icing sugar that commonly suffers caking between packing and consumer. The key research tool was in a new collaborative grant application submitted to EPSRC grant to study the caking behaviour of multi-component powder formulations, by Loughborough, Leicester and Greenwich Universities.
