The Behavior of Fly Ash on the Vibrating Vertical Conveyor

Abstract

This article deals with the transportation of three types of fly ashes on the vertical vibratory conveyors. Monitored department is influence of mechanical and physical properties of each fly ash on efficiency vibrating transport in vertical direction. Parameter monitored on the transport route is transport efficiency for each fly ash under the same operating conditions. The article also describes a comparison of mechanical and physical properties of the three types of fly ashes originating from different sources burning coal. Were measured following mechanical and physical properties: bulk density, angle of wall friction, flow function, particle distribution and particle shape. The resulting values of mechanical and physical properties of individual fly ashes in some cases are different and the others are only slight differences. Different values of the properties of fly ashes are reflected on the transport efficiency of vertical vibration conveyor. Mechanical and physical properties of granular materials serve as the basic input parameters for the design of each transport or storage system.
