loose material

Aim. The development of methods of the theory of similarity and dimensionality, criterion values, as an intermediate component between theory and experiment, which ensures a functional connection between entire sets of values that characterize the process at the level of a physical model and simplify the planned experiment. Method. Processes that have a single nature of the interaction of physical phenomena can be used to build mathematical models in the study of a continuous disk dispenser.

The operation of hopper devices, which are used in industry, civil engineering, agriculture and transport, is analyzed on the article. The external factors, which influence the process of charging, storing and discharging of loose cargo (freights) from hopper tanks, are overviewed. The subject of research of presented paper is the improvement of mechanisms of fracturing of products hangs-up (bridges) in hoppers at the stage of designing and setting up of hopper devices.

Automatic dosing system for loose materials is widely used in construction, food and pharmaceutical industries to prepare various mixtures. The main criterion for optimization of such systems is the accuracy of dosing of each component of the mixture, which depends on the speed component dosing and other process factors. Technological requirements for product quality in production and the high cost of individual components of the mixture strictly regulate the developers of the automated system loose materials size dosing errors.
