Session 203: Bins and Feeders: From New Designs to Retrofits
Topics include:
- Bin flow problems and their results
- Flow patterns – funnel flow, mass flow, expanded flow
- Flow properties testing – cohesive and wall friction properties
- Design principles for reliable flow – flow/no flow criterion
- Calculation of critical bin dimensions, opening sizes, wall angles, etc.
- How to interpret a Flow Report
- Examples of new designs that can be used by attendees
- Approaches to retrofitting existing bins
- Modifications using liners, wedge type hoppers, cone-in-cone design concept, etc.
- Attendees problems
