This year marks the centennial of the birth of Andrew Jenike. At the age of 39 he made a momentous decision -- one that influenced and affected his life and indeed thousands of people around the world. His decision was to devote his life to the study of the design of bins and hoppers for storage and flow of bulk solids. Jenike was truly a visionary. He developed a theory to fulfil a practical need, and he approached his work with enthusiasm and focus not unlike famous inventors like Thomas Edison. Indeed he changed the way we design and build storage vessels for solids in a very revolutionary way. As Reg Davies once said, “As scientists and engineers, rarely do we accomplish something that changes the way people think and behave to such a degree that our name becomes synonymous with its application. That's Jenike”.
