Dear All,

This is a query regarding Deep pan conveyors.

We are planning for 100,000 T clinker stockpile with Aluminum dome and planning to feed clinker through deep pan conveyor from the top of existing clinker silo.

The height difference between clinker silo and proposed stockpile is 10 mtr and in that case the pan conveyor will run downhill.

Hence i want to know whether pan conveyors can be designed to run at negative slope and if possible some reference where it is running presently.

Kindly throw some light on this.

Regards,

Parvez Sheikh

It would be helpful if you told us what the decline angle is.

1 degree or 45 degrees, it makes a lot of difference
