The aim of the further research work is to de-

termine the k-parameters (depending on the bulk
solid stress condition) for other representational
bulk solids e.g. fine cohesive powders or heavy
abrasive material.
Further the first investigations for the numerical
simulation of the particle-mechanical processes
inside the TCC were done. The Discrete
Element Method (DEM) should be used to allow
the first direct conclusions for the influence of
particle size and the design of the transport disks
