Bulk materials are large quantities of raw materials that are typically handled in bulk rather than in individual units. These materials can include items like grains, sand, coal, and minerals. They are often stored in large containers or silos and are used in various industries, including construction, agriculture, and manufacturing. The handling of bulk materials involves specialized equipment such as conveyors, hoppers, and bulk carriers. Efficient management of these materials is crucial for optimizing production processes and reducing costs. Proper storage and transportation methods help ensure the quality and safety of bulk materials throughout their lifecycle.
