Bulk material handling is a field comprising the development of systems to move, process, and package bulk materials like ores, grain, and so on. It involves a variety of activities, from developing systems to transport bulk materials to designing safety protocols to reduce the risks of contamination during the handling process. Engineers play a major role in bulk material handling, working with companies at every step of a supply chain, from the source to the end destination, to develop streamlined and effective systems for managing bulk materials.
