Mechanical Conveying-old Q&A
-
We have little cylindrical pellets that can crush and are a bit sticky coming out of a semi-works extruder and going to a dryer. The flow is very small - continuous at 90kg/hr and 0.6 bulk density. The path is not long (~20 ft), but is torturous (over up over down). Do you have any suggestions?Answered April 19th, 2010 by Expert:Provided that side-to-side obstructions are not involved, we believe that a belt conveyor with really low friction/non-stick belt would be a good approach. The success would depend on how sticky the material is on a compatible belt.
