Feeders
Volumetric and Gravimetric. Lecture 3 in our main solids flow series.
The basics of solids flow
Lecture 3
This lecture will describe and discuss the effectiveness of both volumetric and gravimetric feeding devices. The topics covered in this lecture include volumetric feeders which discharge a volume of material per unit time. The key to reliable feeder design is to make sure that the feeder is capable of discharging your product uniformly over the entire outlet cross-sectional area. The type volumetric feeders detailed are screws, belts, and rotary valves. Additionally, louvered feeders and The Circle feeder are discussed.
The information regarding gravimetric feeders concentrates on systems required to provide weighments of product passing through the devices. Weigh belt feeders are discussed along with what is considered the state of the art today, loss-in-weight feeders. Gain-in-weight feeders which can be as simple as a container on a scale are described along with their limitations.
This one hour video online class is given along with handouts of the presentation and a quiz that will help to ensure your complete understanding of the concepts. Upon purchase of the course you will have 3 days to view the course before your access expires.
