 BUCKET DISCHARGE
  • In principle, the limit can be picked up by speeding up.
  •  Practical application can be dubious

 Speed Increase Effects

  • Earlier Discharge
  • Higher toss direction
  • Increased air volume
  • Reduction of the time window
  • Increase in ware harm
 BUCKET FILL PROBLEMS – CAUSES
  • Misguided channel
  • Buckets un-vented
  • Pulley/channel position not ideal
  • Speed excessively quick
  • Vertical dividing
  • Inlet modest
  • Buckets worn
  • Air Pressure in Leg
  • Obstruction
UPSIDE FEED OPTIMAL PULLEY POSITION

 To Vent or Not to Vent

  • Sticky or high-fat substance
  • Any light test weight materials
  • Powders or flours
  • WHEN IN DOUBT, VENT YOUR BUCKETS!
