THE APPLICATION OF SILO CENTRIFUGE TESTING

Abstract

Common problems of industrial silo design can be solved with calculations based on the Jenike method. However in some cases, especially when a silo design is calculated for highly dispersed bulk solids in the nano-range or when the bulk solid contains moisture, experiments in model scale under centrifuge forces may yield better understanding of silo problems. In this work, the results from scale up experiments in a silo centrifuge are presented. The experiments have been performed to investigate critical outlet dimensions for a silo filled with very fine and moist bulk solids.

Keywords:

silo design, silo, moist bulk solids, silo-centrifuge, scale-up, model tests
