СПОСОБ И УСТРОЙСТВО ДЛЯ НЕПРЕРЫВНОЙ РЕГУЛИРУЕМОЙ ВЫГРУЗКИ СЫПУЧИХ МАТЕРИАЛОВ

摘要

A silo has more than one discharge passage, and each passage has the ability to increase or decrease its respective flow rates. The silo and each portion of the silo that feeds into each individual discharge passage can measure a feature of the solid being dispensed, such as its moisture content or its temperature. A computer controller is then used to take this feedback and adjust the rate of flow from each discharge passage so that the flows from each passage are kept the same despite the variation in moisture, temperature or any other characteristic of the flowing solid. A method to utilize this device is also taught.
