The conveying capacity of the Vacuum Conveyor is a key performance indicator, which determines the amount of material the equipment can handle per unit time. The determination of conveying capacity involves several factors, which are explained in detail below and how they jointly affect the conveying capacity of the Vacuum Conveyor.
First of all, material characteristics are an important factor affecting the conveying capacity of Vacuum Conveyor. Different materials have different physical and chemical properties, such as particle size, density, viscosity, moisture content, etc. These characteristics directly affect the fluidity and transportability of materials in vacuum pipelines. For example, materials with larger particles and higher density may produce greater resistance during transportation, thus affecting the transportation speed and capacity.
Secondly, the conveying distance and height are also important factors affecting the conveying capacity of Vacuum Conveyor. The longer the conveying distance, the longer it takes for the material to flow in the pipeline, so the conveying capacity will be reduced accordingly. Similarly, the higher the conveying height, the greater the gravity effect on the material in the pipeline, which may cause the material flow rate to slow down, thereby reducing the conveying capacity.
In addition, factors such as the Vacuum Conveyor's pipe diameter, vacuum degree, and conveyor structure will also affect its conveying capacity. The larger the diameter of the pipe, the larger the flow space for materials in the pipe, which is beneficial to improving the conveying capacity. The higher the vacuum, the greater the negative pressure in the pipeline, which can attract and transport materials more effectively. The structural design of the conveyor needs to take into account the fluidity and conveying efficiency of the material to achieve the best conveying capacity.
In practical applications, the conveying capacity of Vacuum Conveyor is usually determined through experiments or calculations. A commonly used calculation method is to use the conveying capacity formula: Q = S × v × ρ × η, where Q is the conveying capacity (unit: tons/hour), S is the conveying cross-sectional area (unit: square meters), and v is the material The flow speed in the pipeline (unit: meter/second), ρ is the density of the material (unit: ton/cubic meter), and eta is the transportation efficiency (generally around 0.8). By adjusting the parameters and variables in the formula, the conveying capacity under different conditions can be calculated.
In short, the conveying capacity of Vacuum Conveyor is a complex issue that comprehensively considers factors such as material characteristics, conveying distance and height, pipe diameter and vacuum degree, and conveyor structure. In actual applications, calculations and tests need to be carried out according to specific conditions to determine the optimal conveying capacity.
