CENTRIFUGE LOAD CONTROL FOR AUTOMATIC INFEED GATE ADJUSTMENT

摘要

The gates of centrifugal machines are automatically controlled to regulate the rate of incoming charge and thereby maintain a desired building rate for the charge walls being formed along the inner sidewalls of the rotating centrifugal baskets of the machines. Closure of the gates are also controlled to gradually approach a minimum flow rate. The automatic control of the opening and closing of the gates not only improves the capacity of the machines but allows the machines to be operated remotely thereby freeing operators from constant surveillance required in the past.
