G.J.M. Bartelet Continulosser voor zout. 2: Theoretisch en experimenteel onderzoek naar het genereren van de massastroom. Masters thesis, Report 95.3.TT.4443B, Transport Engineering and Logistics.
Following the mass flow (report 95.3.TT.4443A), this report analyses the feeding part of a continuous unioader, being used by Akzo Nobel for the transhipment of salt.
The analysis deals with the following items: determination of the bulk characteristics evaluation of the present components
pre-design of a new feeding device based on model results alternatives for the feeding device
evaluation of the present unloading strategy
Conclusions referring to mass flow and operational aspects are given. Furthermore, suggestions for improvement of the unloader's operation are presented. Reports on Transport Engineering and Logistics (in Dutch)
