•
used to reduce the detrimental effect of high or variable
material velocity, especially when using a long fall
chute
•
for abrasive materials, line the chute with an abrasion
resistant material, or use an in-feed deadbox
•
installed where the chute angle changes. This will
cause the material to impact upon itself, rather than the
chute surface.
•
used when the feeder discharge velocity is high,
variable, where long fall chute angles change, and if the
material is particularly abrasive
•
install a temporary holding bin to receive pulsing
material discharge from a feeder. Then the material is
gravity fed from the bin to the flowmeter flowguide.
•
provide manual or automatic control to ensure the
holding bin is neither emptied nor overfilled while the
feeder is in operation.
•
bin could also be used for the integrator on-line
calibration, (if so equipped). Refer to the integrator
instruction manual for bin requirements.
•
for drag conveyors, use a baffle plate installed at the
conveyor discharge to reduce the heavy material
pulsing associated with this type of feeder
conveyor
discharge
•
For knife gates which supply on-off control from
supply bins or silos, open as shown in relationship to
flowguide.
