Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flowable material discharge system for controlling the discharge of flowable material such as pellets, viscous materials such as slurries, solids, powder or particles and the like from a store such as a bunker, hopper, reactor, impregnation vessel and the like.
  • flowable material such as pellets, viscous materials such as slurries, solids, powder or particles and the like from a store such as a bunker, hopper, reactor, impregnation vessel and the like.
  • Material such as powder or particulate material and the like is often housed in bulk in a store such as a bunker and the like, from which it is to be discharged periodically.
  • bunkers or hoppers for discharging free flowing materials such as particulate or powdered materials are provided with vertically liftable cones at their outlet.
  • Such liftable cones open by vertically lifting the cone against the pressure of the flowable material to be discharged on the cone.
  • opening is not always possible in case of large vessels or completely filled vessels.
  • Such arrangements are suitable for discharging free flowing materials, but are subject to serious problems with respect to discharging cohesive or sintering materials due to bridging, sintering and clogging of the particles. In that case lifting and vibration of the cone can cause further densification and sintering of the solids and so making flow activation even worse.
  • the invention therefore provides a flowable material discharge system for a bunker which is provided at its outlet with an outlet member and a seat located underneath the said member, characterized in that the said seat is movable from a first (closed) position wherein no discharge gap between the seat and the said member exists, to a second (open) position thus making a discharge gap between the seat and the said member without lifting the member, and vice versa; and further comprising means for moving the said seat in the desired direction.
  • the outlet member is (vertically) liftable and has e.g. a conical or pyramidal shape.
  • bunker should not be understood in a restrictive manner, but also indicates e.g. hoppers, silos, containers, bins or solids process vessels like reactors, impregnation or washing vessels and the like.
  • bunkers etc. can e.g. have a conical, cylindrical, pyramidal, prismatic or spherical shape.
  • a flowable material discharge system with a(n) (inverted) cone type seat has been represented.
  • the lower part of a bunker wall 1 with a cone type seat is represented.
  • an outlet member e.g. in the form of a cone or pyramidal shaped body is provided in any suitable manner.
  • a liftable cone 2 is applied as outlet member.
  • the cone 2 can be moved up and down from a first (lower) position 2a to a second (lifted) position 2b and vice versa by any suitable cone actuating means 3 e.g. a pneumatic cylinder with a double piston rod and can be vibrated at any suitable frequency by any suitable cone vibrator 5.
  • the bunker 1 is provided with a movable seat 4 located underneath the cone. The seat can be moved up and down by any suitable seat actuating means 6 from a first (upper) position (4a) to a second (lower) position (4b) and vice versa.
  • the shape of the bottom edge of the cone 2 needs to be such, that in its lower position (2a) it matches the shape of the seat 4 in upper position (4a) in such a way that no gap exists.
  • the cone in the lower position (2a) of the cone and the upper position (4a) of the seat the cone is pressed with its lower edge on the seat. In this situation there is no gap between seat and cone.
  • Reference numeral 7 represents a support frame for supporting the cone actuating means and reference numeral 8 represents the discharge cone of the bunker.
  • the seat may be of any suitable shape, e.g. pyramidal, conical, spherical, flat or tore shape.
  • the seat may consist of a single part as well as of more than one individual or collective moving parts e.g. moving flaps as will be described in connection with figs. 3a, 3b below in more detail.
  • Control mechanisms to position the cone 2 at positions between upper (2b) and lower (2a) position are useful (not shown for reasons of clarity).
  • a level sensor e.g. a capacitive level sensor underneath the seat to prevent overfilling of the space underneath the seat is useful (not shown for reasons of clarity).
  • a flowable material discharge system with a flap type seat 4'' is shown, wherein also the same reference numerals as in figs. 1 and 2 are used for representing the same members of the system.
  • the seat is multi-sided and in particular 4-sided and comprises collective moving parts.
  • seat flaps 4'' are connected in any suitable manner to a hinge line 9.
  • a bar mechanism with over centering provided with a drive shaft 10 has been shown and the said mechanism and flap are represented in open and closed position respectively (4''b, 4''a). It will be appreciated that any suitable mechanism for moving the seat flaps can be applied
  • fig. 3b a top view of the flap type seat of fig. 3a is shown.
  • Hinge lines 9 and drive shafts 10 have been shown.
  • Reference numeral 6a represents a seat flaps actuating means and reference numeral 11 represents any suitable coupling mechanism such as e.g. (angular) gear boxes coupling the drive shafts 10.
  • Each of the sides hangs on a hinge line and is moved by bar mechanisms with over centering locking.
  • the opening of the seat is adjusted with an adjustable stop in the actuator.
  • the movable seat Upon request of flowable material the movable seat will be opened and solids can flow downwards via the gap between the outlet member and lowered seat.
  • the outlet member can be vibrated to activate and smoothen the flow.
  • the outlet member When due to bridging or sintering no flow takes place, the outlet member can be lifted and/or be vibrated to break the bridge. Vibration can be carried out at high frequencies or at a low frequency by repeatedly up and down movement of the outlet member. A very constant material flow during discharge can be achieved by vibration at high frequencies.
  • the outlet member may be lowered again and normal discharge can take place.
  • the seat When the level sensor underneath the seat is activated the seat may be closed or lifted in order to stop or reduce the flow to prevent overfilling below the seat.
