1. Consider the material properties
The properties of the material have an important impact on the conveying capacity of the Vacuum Conveyor. Different materials differ in terms of particle size, density, fluidity, etc. For example, materials with fine particles and good fluidity are usually easier to convey, while large, viscous materials may reduce the conveying efficiency. For materials with higher density, greater power may be required to achieve conveying under the same conveying conditions. At the same time, the hygroscopicity and corrosiveness of the material will also affect the material selection and design of the equipment, and thus affect the conveying capacity. Therefore, when determining the conveying capacity, the characteristics of the material must first be analyzed in detail.
2. Analyze the conveying distance and height
The conveying distance and height are one of the key factors in determining the conveying capacity of the Vacuum Conveyor. Generally speaking, the longer the conveying distance and the higher the height, the greater the vacuum required, and the conveying capacity may be reduced accordingly. This is because during long-distance and high-altitude conveying, the material needs to overcome greater resistance. In addition, the layout and degree of curvature of the conveying pipeline will also affect the conveying capacity. Reasonable planning of the conveying route and reducing unnecessary bends and resistance can improve the conveying capacity. When determining the conveying capacity, it is necessary to make a comprehensive consideration based on the actual conveying distance and height requirements, combined with the performance parameters of the equipment.
3. Evaluate vacuum and air volume
The working principle of the Vacuum Conveyor is to use the suction generated by the vacuum to convey materials, so the vacuum and air volume are important parameters that determine the conveying capacity. A higher vacuum can provide greater suction, thereby improving the conveying capacity. However, the vacuum cannot be increased indefinitely. Too high a vacuum may increase the energy consumption of the equipment, increase the cost, and even affect the sealing and stability of the equipment. The size of the air volume will also affect the conveying capacity. The appropriate air volume can ensure that the material flows quickly in the pipeline. It is necessary to find the best combination of vacuum and air volume through experiments and calculations to achieve the optimal conveying capacity.
4. Consider equipment performance and maintenance
The equipment performance and maintenance of the Vacuum Conveyor will also affect the conveying capacity. High-quality equipment usually has better sealing, stability and durability, which can ensure long-term and stable conveying capacity. At the same time, regular maintenance can timely detect and solve equipment failures to ensure that the equipment is always in good working condition. When determining the conveying capacity, factors such as the brand, quality, and after-sales service of the equipment should be considered, and a reasonable maintenance plan should be formulated to extend the service life of the equipment and improve the conveying capacity.
