Mechanical Conveying-old Q&A
-
We have an application where we would like to spread a layer of fibers across a moving conveyor belt. The fibers range from ½ in. to 1.5 in. and we would like to deposit them at different rates to yield adjustable rates of thickness for the fiber “mat”. We were thinking of some type of screw conveyor. The belt width ranges from 24 to 48 in. wide. Do you have any suggestions?Answered November 18th, 2010 by Expert:It is possible that a pivoting conveyor could spread the fibers in a consistent distribution on a moving belt. Distribution would not be perfect depending on the flowability of the fibers. The basics involve a small vibratory feeder that pivots left and right with a controlled and varied rate to provide even distribution on the belt. Here is an example of a product from Triple/S that could help. Various widths and customization are available.
