Abstract—Belt conveyors play an important role in continuous dry bulk material transport, especially at the mining industry. Speed control is expected to reduce the energy consumption of belt conveyors. Transient operation is the operation of increasing or decreasing conveyor speed for speed control. According to literature review, current research rarely takes the conveyor dynamics in transien...

Abstract A new neutron activation analysis system is currently being designed at Lund University. The design incorporates a compact accelerator driven source, based on 3 MV Pelletron and pneumatic sample conveyor to transport samples from the source measurement station consisting of an array high-purity Ge γ-ray detectors. prototype for this in operation, with Genie 16 SODERN generator used pla...

The mixtures, grains, and residues in the ratooning rice harvesting machine need to be conveyed forward, backward, upward, downward. Due such operations, often accumulation blockage take place at intersection of a horizontal-vertical screw conveyor, resulting low efficiency, high power consumption, even grain damage. In this study, CFD-DEM approach was applied address above problems. Firstly, p...

Rubber belt not only is one of the key components of belt conveyor, but also affects the overall performance of the core part. Research on dynamics analysis of large conveyor not only helps to improve the reliability and design level, but also can guide the rational selection of conveyor safety factor, and effectively reduce the cost of the conveyor belt. Based on unique viscoelastic properties...

Despite the popularity of the conveyor-belt model for portraying the airflow through midlatitude cyclones, questions arise as to the path of the cold conveyor belt, the lower-tropospheric airflow poleward of and underneath the warm front. Some studies, beginning with Carlson’s analysis of the eastern U.S. cyclone of 5 December 1977, depict the cold conveyor belt moving westward, reaching the no...

The design and development objective of the entire belt conveyor control system is to minimize physical labor, which can make full use of other energy and variety of information other than manpower operation so as to increase efficiency and reduce accidents. This paper makes an in-depth analysis of implementation possibilities and requirements of the ARM-based monitoring of belt conveyor system...

Industrial systems efficiency often can be improved by replacing human subjects with robotics technology. With the virtue of automation couple with robotics, this picture is gradually being visible. Accurate inspection of a product in its all stages of production has become a very crucial part of the packaging industry. Nearly 100% accurate inspection and detection can be achieved by using high...

ABSTRACT: The uniformity of seed distribution and sowing speed directly impact crop quality productivity. This experiment assessed how the position monitoring sensor influences cotton seeds using a pneumatic meter at different operating speeds. employed completely randomized two-factor factorial design on static simulation bench. first factor involved installation sites (upper, middle, lower po...
