Abstract:
A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials from one location to another. Conveyors are especially useful in applications involving the transportation of heavy or bulky materials.
A Theoretical and Experimental Study was made of the conveying speed with which the granular particles are transported by vibratory Conveyors. Layer of granular particle can be considered as a point mass. The theory will tell us about rest, slide and flight phase of the granular material.
Vibratory conveyors are highly used for discharging, conveying, feeding, dosing and distributing bulk materials in many branches of industry. The goal of our project is a systematic investigation of the dependence of the transport behavior on the principle of Quick return Linear oscillation Form. The transport velocity on the normalized acceleration is observed. Two maxima are separated by a regime, where the granular flow is much slower and, in a certain driving range, even reverses its direction.
