Flow of Bulk Solids Through Transfer Chutes of Variable Geometry and Profile

The conditions for accelerated or 'fast' flow of bulk solids through transfer chutes of variable geometry and profile are discussed. A simplified chute design theory based on a lumped parameter dynamic model is presented. This model may be applied to chutes of arbitrary geometric profile but the emp…read more

Transfer Chutes: Predicting Dust Emissions by Multiphase CFD and Coupled DEM-CFD Simulations

Dust emission is one of the main problems in the operation of transfer chutes. The design of the transfer chute heavily influences any potential dust generation. Although this influence is well known, much more attention is given to active dust suppression via water spray systems, the exhaustion of …read more

Chute Design Essentials – How to Design and Implement Chutes in Bulk Solids Handling Systems

Chutes are in use in almost every bulk solids handling plant. Although everybody knows them, they are mostly overlooked, except for those cases where they cause extra-attention and -work due to malfunctioning. Following you will find hints to prevent such incidents. This paper attempts to give the r…read more

Load Analysis of Trestle Leg Conveyor Support Structures Buried in Stockpiles

The paper presents a theory, combined with design equations, to compute the loads on structural elements, in particular those of trestle legs of tubular construction supporting load-out belt conveyors, where the trestle legs are substantially buried in gravity reclaim stockpiles. The stress conditio…read more

Bulk Materials Storage Design: Considerations for the Design of Materials Handling Storage Plants

Bulk material storage is either used for buffering between different handling/processing steps (e.g. ahead of the washing plant in mines) or as an “equalizer” in batch-wise working processes. Associated problems and counter measures are described hereafter. read more

Design of a High Speed Transfer Chute in a confined Space – A DEM Case Study

This paper aims to redesign a transfer chute as used in a Eurosilo system specifically for handling coal. The velocity of material vertically entering the chute was estimated at 15 to 34 m/s depending on the fill height of the silo. A three-stage approach was taken. First the existing situation with…read more
