Chute Performance and Design for Rapid Flow Conditions

Many industrial chute applications are characterised by rapid flow conditions in which the bulk solid stream thickness or depth is less than the chute width. Under these conditions, it is possible to describe the stream flow by means of a lumped parameter model which takes into account the frictional drag around the chute boundaries as well as making …

[PDF] DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS AND PERFORMANCE

This paper is concerned primarily with screw conveyors with fully enclosed tubular casings. The throughput, torque and power are significantly influenced by the vortex motion of the bulk solid being conveyed. The vortex motion, together with the degree of fill, govern the volumetric efficiency and, hence, the throughput. This, in turn, influences the torque, power and conveying …
