Producer Gas (Wood Gas) feedstock Feed Method

(OP)
Hi All, don't know what forum is appl. so I'll try this one.

I'm looking for anyone that has Ideas on a feed method of using "Wood Chips" in an Imbert style gasification system, some have said rubber belt, steel paddles (like a water wheel) and one guy said use a grain auger.

Any Ideas ?

This is from a hopper (about 12 cu.ft.)(900lbs.) to the gasifier (about 7 ft apart) and about 1.5 lbs./Min.

RE: Producer Gas (Wood Gas) feedstock Feed Method

standard mech problem, it has been solved dozens and dozens of times, but the best way all depends on the issues which you have not defined.
