HIGH-PRECISION VOLUMETRIC POWDER FEEDER

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a volumetric feeder of non-free-flowing powders which is comparable in dosing accuracy to weighing systems. The operating efficiency of the main units was studied numerically (using the discrete element method) and experimentally. A continuous precision volumetric feeder design is proposed.
