    Material Trajectory

    Thanks for your help everyone. I decided a little while ago not to deal with the trajectory of the material, because there is no real trajectory :P Instead, I analyzed a similar conveyor to get an idea of what the flow looks like. ~~Bold are the ones who come over the line to fall~~

    Nuts and Bolts....

    A bolt or nut can begin to strip but still hold it's integrity. In a case where failure of equipment can become disasterous, or points of high wear/fatigue, these bolts should be checked on a regular basis. What it boils down to is that if something fails, it fails.. it doesn't matter which it...

    Nuts and Bolts....

    So does all of this mean that if a bolt is going to fail by shear then you'd want the bolt stiffer, and if it's going to fail in tension then you'd want it softer? ~~Bold are the ones who come over the line to fall~~

    That's a good point you bring up.. I'll fuel the fire with it :) ~~Bold are the ones who come over the line to fall~~

    Nuts and Bolts....

    Hi I'm currently in a debate with a co-worker about the hardness of nuts in bolts. I was taught (and found the reference in my old machine design textbook) that nuts should be made from a softer material for a number of reasons: First to yield - maintaining integrity of bolt First to...

    Washing Conveyors with Air Nozzles

    Thx concutter The link you gave me was very useful. I think I'm going to use one of their air knives. Low initial cost for implementing, and low cfm to keep annual costs down. SF ~~Bold are the ones who come over the line to fall~~

    Material Trajectory

    Hi I'm looking for a little bit of help on how to mathematically determine the trajectory of material off a conveyor belt. Here are the specs (I'm not sure what information would be required) This particular belt carries a heavy grainy particle (Nickel Matte to be exact) that is about 10.5%...

    Ni Matte conveyors

    Hi We have a conveyor that carries 89.5% by weight Ni matte. I'm looking into implementing a compressed air system to wash the belt since mechanical scrapers have failed. Has anyone has success with this method? (Specifically using the BETE FINZ 41 nozzles?) SF ~~Bold are the ones who come...

    Washing Conveyors with Air Nozzles

    Hey I'm looking at using compressed air to wash a conveyor that is loaded with a very fine material that is about 10.5% water by weight. Does anyone have success with this method, and specifically using the BETE FINZ 41 Nozzle? SF
