Abrasive Wear

Abrasive Wear in Bulk Material Handling In the field of construction machinery and bulk material handling systems the main cause of equipment failure is the high level of wear and as a result a downtime of the production. This wear occurs especially in the handling of highly abrasive bulk materials and powders. For instance, hard rock materials like granite or minerals like iron ores and […]

Traceability of Bulk Materials

Traceability of Bulk Materials

What does Traceability mean? Traceability generally describes the ability to track a product throughout its life cycle and assign all relrevant information to itself. This system has largely become a standard for piece goods, whereby e.g. a system of labelling and scanning along the supply chain is implemented. Due to that, all relevant information of each individual prodcut can be saved and called up at […]

Basic Calculation – Flow Rate

Basic Calculation – Flow Rate

Basic Conveyor Calculation – Mass Flow Rate In the construction and calculation of a belt conveyor the first step is the calculation and determination of the general size of the conveyor. If bulk material should be conveyed from one place to another the daily mass flow is often given from other parameters of the plant. Material flow rate  The conveyor system is basically calculated by […]

Abrasive Wear Tests

Abrasive Wear Tests

Overview of Abrasive Wear Tests This Section aims to provide a general overview of abrasive wear test methods for evaluating wear characteristics of liner samples. Because there are many individual testing procedures, there is no claim to completeness. Instead, the principles are briefly explained, as well as several advantages and disadvantages of general test rig build ups are shown. Previous Next Particle On Disc Test […]

Belt Mistracking of a Conveyor Belt

Belt Mistracking of  a Conveyor Belt

Reasons for Belt Mistracking Reasons of mistracking of a conveyor belt can be widely distributed and it is hard to identify a reason. The mistracking of a conveyor belt normally has many reasons. Each reason influences another reasons, so a determination of one reason can not always be possible. It is hard to find the problem when it always changes. To track a belt visit […]
