Description
Found in many process plants, hoppers and silos continue to provide an endless source of problems. Significant economic losses occur every year when material fails to flow on demand out of bulk storage units. This work brings together case studies from acknowledged experts in the field. Covering a broad cross-section of the equipment and techniques, this volume reviews and assesses their range of applicability. It also provides a strategy for choosing which option is best for any given situation on new and existing installations. The selection of papers included, presents a wide range of studies, results of research, and industrial applications. The following key areas are addresses: air cannons, vibrators, aeration, linings, inserts, and custom hopper design.
Table of Contents
- Using air cannons to solve silo problems
- circular bin dischargers
- external vibrators
- sweep augur
- aerated large-scale silos for fine grained bulk solids
- low friction and low adhesion linings
- the use of inserts in hoppers
- proper design or reliable flow from hoppers and silos.
