Extraction Forces On Belt Feeders
I am presenting a paper to the MHEA Conference in April on the forces acting through the outlet of a hopper. It also advises on the extraction forces on belt feeders. If you care to send your email to lyn@ajax.co.uk, I will be pleased to send a copy. It essentially explores the unsupported load under the catenary of a critical arch span and extends the effects to larger arches and the forces required to support an arch that will collapse during flow. The extraction force then depends on the shear strength of the product and the effect of relaxing the confining stress to allow for the dialatation in the shear plane, especially relevant with firm, granular materials. The benefits of a final mass flow section is brought out and the drawback of an expanding outlet width along the belt run. ■
Calculating Extraction Forces
Calculating extraction force and strength above conveyor with hopper. Looking 4 tutor
Hi all,
are interested in understanding how to calculate the extraction force and strength above the conveyor with hopper.
Currently we rely on our experience and simple formulas, but ultimately customers we require extractors belt hoppers with a capacity for bigger and bigger, which is why we want to be able to better analyze the forces.
The type of hopper which usually employ is truncated trapezoidal as these (1) (2).
Where do I start looking for useful documentation?
Some of you can help me?
Tnx ■
