Virtually immune to jams, it will, for example, feed dry, light particles at 1,200 pounds per hour or heavy, sticky minerals at 1,800 tons per hour with absolute consistency. Its reliability is so great that it eliminates any need for an operator standing by to clear pluggage. Additionally, the feeder does not agitate nor degrade the material in any way, [Esmiorn Types of feeder an [smo Principles of operation is feeder is a striking example of how simplicity of design can yield superior results, both in performance gains and equipment upkeep. The genius of this concept lies in the way it takes advantage of the bridges that bulk solid material tends to form. In most equipment, material bridging causes problems, In the Posimetric Feeder, controlled bridging is the basis of more unifor more reliable, and more accurate feeding ~ in machine with only a single moving part and which, in most applications, is nearly free of wear. [Esmiorn Principles of operation The feeder consi ts of @ circular, rotating chamber or duct, confined within @ housing, When confined within an enclosed space, most bulk material tends to bridge, or lock up, against the outer walls, filling the entire space, The Posimetric Feede takes advantage of that fact by deliberately causing the material to continuously lock up at the feed point within the duct, and to continuously unlock at the discharge point. EEsmiorm Coal Feeders Improved Productivity and Less Down Time with Posimetric Feeding of Coal Pulverizers and Raw Mill Feeding + Reduced wear and maintenance + Reduced excess oxygen + Reduced unburned carbon (LOT) [smiorn Posimetric feeder ‘Zone 1 - Consolidation Feed material consolidates locks up at 8 constant density as meenters the duct! 213 [mor Zone 4 ~ Active Discharge Scraper ensures 100% of the ‘material is discharged Zone [smorn The Secret of its Accurate and Steady Feed Rate lock up + The volume of this material lock up/transport section between the feed and discharge points, about 180° of arc, is fixed. In effect, this duct section serves as a container of known dimensions even though it is open at each end. This means that each rotation can only carry a fixed amount of material, regardless of moisture content, entirely confined by material 215 smo The Secret of its Accurate and Steady Feed Rate It will not feed partial amounts because a than full sectio does not permit material lock up, and it can not feed amount greater than the lock up section. As a result, the displacement of the duct lock up section, and therefore feed rate accuracy, is trolled as surely as if using a bucket. There are no fluctuations, over whatever time span you might wish to + In addition, lock up enables the walls of the duct to literally carry thi material gently along; the material has no sliding motion relative to those walls and therefore produces only negligible wear. For sticky materials, a fixed plate above the discharge point gives it an assist Low Speed, Low Wear Rotation speed is surprisingly slow, ally from 1/2 to 10 rpm, depending on the application + Typ nergy demand is also low because the mass of locked up material helps to turn the duct, much as a waterwheel is turned by the falling water, except no paddles are needed. Typically, a 200-tph feeder only needs a 3-hp motor; a S00-tph feeder only requires 10 hp. This also contributes to long life of all drive components because the entire feeder is subjected to minimal stress. In addition, the Posimet jer acts as a seal agai downstream suction or pressure. [smiorm Maintenance advantages + Its single moving part, the duct, is only exposed to nominal abrasion and has routinely provided many years of service before even a token amount of wear is apparent + As for preventive maintenance, the Posimetric Feeder only + requires occasional visual inspection and, at extended + Intervals, greasing of bearings, + In short, the maintenance burden is minimal [smior PLC Based Controller It interfaces with the feeder system display for contin indication of: feeder status, Including rotation speed and delivery rate, with alarms or faults clearly aisplayed. 27 =< OK Mill [smo Finish grinding of Cement i and Slag 7 [morn Modern Design Features Improved Product Quality Excelent Mechanical Reliability Reduced Maintenance Costs ~ Better Operating Efficiency [Esmiotm Clinker feed to \y the a Product and air mill through the rotary air lock Hot air to the nozzle leaving the separator 219 [smo OK cement mill function Clinker are forced to the edge of the grinding table r and under the rollers by centrifugal forces [smo OK cement mill Function ine articles ited by the ai 1.
