I need to convey granular material approximately a 1/4 inch mostly solid cylinder which has a very rough surface meduim density and can be very dusty. After it is conveyed it must be prusuaded to fall into a round opening approximately 1 inch in diameter. Several thousand of these cylinders must padd through the opening as fast as possible. The process must be repeated many thousands of times in an area of less than 30 square feet. The total amount of material that must pass through such openings cab be up to 225000 pounds. For efficiency up to half of the openings must have material passing through it at any given time. How do I get lots of material in a small opening and quickly and get rid of dust? |

Just to try to understand what you want: It sounds like you are filling pills in bottles or maybe pellet fertilizer or hamster fodder or the like. Is this a halfway correct image? How large are the containers with one inch openings? What is their material? (Presumably, they are not containers that could be filled and then have the top put in place: image: a Morton Salt container.) 30 square feet? That is a 5x6 ft closet. 30x30 feet?? 225,000 lbs of material? In what time frame? Obviously, there will be a problem of stoppage if the 1/4 inch material must fit through a 1 inch opening. The pharmaceutical industry managed this problem in the days when pills were sold in bottles, but that has probably occurred to you, and seems not to meet your volume requirements. Sorry about all the questions, but any additional information you can provide will help find an answer - I hope. Post it as a Clarification to the question, rather than as a comment, so that a Researcher will have all the information in one area. This is, of course, just a free comment. |
