FUINDAMENTALS DEVELOPMENT FOR COMPUTATION OF SCREW SCREENS FOR BULK MATERIAL SEPARATION AND EXPERIENCE OF THEIR INTRODUCTION TO PRODUCTION

Abstract

The work purpose is to increase productivity in bulk material separation by means of the development of a test sample of the installation for bulk material separation into fractions. There is considered bulk material motion in a working chamber of the screw screen and the results of experimental investigations of bulk medium movement parameters are presented, depending on design and operation characteristics of screw screens, and also nomograms of dependences of a rate of bulk particle longitudinal movements upon a screw screen diameter, for different values of correction factors, weight of bulk particles, an angular velocity of the screw screen and fill factors. A design of the plant for bulk separation, test data and technical characteristics of the test plant are shown. A novelty is confirmed by six invention patents of the RF. By means of the complex method of investigations there are obtained dependences for definition of a rate of bulk particle longitudinal motion in screw screens, and also a length of working chamber of the screw screen.
