J. van Denzen en M.B. Wolleswinkel Continulossers voor agrarische produkten. Een experimenteel onderzoek naar het generen van massastromen voor grondstoffen uit de veevoederindustrie.
Laboratory experiment, Report 95.3.TT.4475, Transport Engineering and Logistics.
Goal of this experiment, is to demonstrate the possibility of discharging products for the cattle-fodder industry by using a continuously discharging installation. Special attention is given to possible emitted dust.
All experiments are carried out by using a 1:5 scale modal with respect to the prototype. A prototype with an nominal capacity of 100 tons/hour and a maximum of 150 tons/hour.
The following conclusions can be drawn:
all tested bulk cargo can be discharged with enough capacity by an acceptable efficiency there was no dust emission at all in any experiment
