A chain conveyor consists of a trough or bed (bottom of the conveyor casing) on which run continuously driven chain(s) with pendants, flights or attachments. These pendants, flights or attachments scrape the bulk material over the trough, moving solids forward to the discharge point.
Of paramount importance to the design and selection process is the characterization of the flow and handling properties of the bulk solid to be conveyed. This aspect of conveyor design forms the main theme of the article. Introduction Mechanical conveying and handling of bulk solids is a subject of broad industrial interest and …
Vacuum Conveying Systems safely and efficiently move materials such as powders, pigments, granules, tablets and capsules within a processing area.
The book aims to provide the reader with the breadth of knowledge to give a good general understanding of the major technologies involved in the storage and handling of …
Despite their apparent simplicity, bends are often poorly understood, and unless properly designed, they are potentially problematic. Pneumatic conveying of bulk solids has been successfully practiced — in industries as diverse as chemical, agricultural, pharmaceutical, plastics, food, mineral processing, cement and power generation — for …
Most equipment suppliers have test labs where they can test your materials with their type of system. Make sure the test setup can be configured to approximate your layout. In addition, the K-State Bulk Solids Innovation Center can test material properties and perform full-scale flow, conveying, and handling tests with your materials.
The conventional overland conveyor is limited in ability with respect to gradient and alignment curvature. However, there are two less-traditional conveying systems worthy of evaluation against conventional conveyors for long-distance, large-capacity installations, the Cable Belt and the Ropecon System.
There are many methods of moving powders and bulk solid materials. These include moving materials by truck or railcar, pneumatic conveying systems, unit handling of materials in boxes, drums, bags, or other containers, and even moving small amounts of material by hand.

Each bulk solid tends to have its own unique characteristics, behaviors and requirements for getting it (and keeping it) flowing and moving through solids handling equipment. Solids-handling equipment, such as bins, silos, hoppers, feeders and chutes have their own set of difficulties and challenges for getting material flowing [1–3], and ...
Particulate solids are conveyed in chemical process plants either by pneumatic conveying systems or mechanical conveyors. This article discusses design …
Various types of conveyor systems are the backbone of efficient industrial operations, enhancing productivity and ensuring smooth material handling processes.
The JDV Spiral Press combines dewatering, compacting and conveying operations in a single, compact product for wastewater screenings and miscellaneous debris and material processed in paper mills, food processing plants and rendering facilities. A drainage zone at the feed end drains free water as solids are conveyed through the system.
