Construction and Design
The Solids Handling Study Unit Solidra-01 is built on a bench mounting several elements. A ball mill with variable speed and various ball sizes, driven by a dedicated motor, handles size reduction. A vibratory shaker with a set of eight sieves of several hole mesh handles sieving operations. A V-Blender and a Double Cone Mixer, both timer/counter controlled, handle mixing operations. A cyclone, approximately 140mm in height with a pressure gauge ranged 0 to 2.5bar, handles solids separation, supported by a blowing and ejector system and a compressor with pressure safety protection for pneumatic conveying. A transparent horizontal rotary cylinder with a protractor studies angle of repose. Cylindrical hoppers, 500 cc capacity with different exit orifice sizes, study solids unloading. A weighing balance, 10 kg capacity with 0.1 g least count, and an air pump with a flowrate of 0 to 100L/H, complete the unit. Two collecting trays, two 2L measuring cylinders, and one 1L beaker are included for sample handling.
