Re: Pipe Conveyor
If the cement is already aerated, then you need time to degasify it. If the cement is discharge from an air-slide, then it must be consolidated to compress out the gas. This also needs time.
If you did not have the aeration, then dropping and guiding material in a chute can prevent most aeration that occurs in a drop.
Depending on the drop height, you may be able to accomplish enough dearation in the transfer for later handling such as into a pipe conveyor This would require further study. ■
Re: Pipe Conveyor
Thanks for the reply.
The cement is already aerated, as the cement is discharged from an air-slide through a straight chute of 1.5 meters.
You have told to degasify it & to consolidated it to compress out the gas. This also needs time about 5 Secs.
Please suggest some methods to de gasify it.

Pipe Conveyor
Last time the solution given for de-aeration of cement before feeding into the pipe conveyor was non-aerating transfer chute.
I want to know what type of chute this is and how it functions.
The cement coming through airslides is in aerated form, with bulk density of around 0.90 and a temperature of around 100 degrees. This tends cement to rollback on a lift of around 10 degrees after 10 metres from feedend. The angle at feedend is 3 degrees.
