DEVICE FOR THE CONTINUOUS GRAVIMETRIC METERING AND PNEUMATIC CONVEYING OF POURABLE MATERIAL

摘要

Disclosed is a device for the continuous gravimetric metering and pneumatic conveying of pourable material which is conveyed across a given distance by a metering rotor ( 1 ) which is arranged in a pressure-proof manner in a housing ( 2 ) and is provided with conveying pockets ( 1 a). Said housing ( 2 ) comprises a charging station and a discharging station for the pourable material, which are connected to the inlet/outlet ( 4, 5 ) of a pneumatic conveyor system. The housing ( 2 ) is connected to a force metering device which detects the momentary load generated on the metering rotor ( 1 ) by the conveyed material. The inlet and outlet of the pneumatic conveyor system are connected to the bottom of the housing ( 2 ). In order to build the inventive device in a compact manner while reducing the assembly requirements and improving flow guidance, the flow from the inlet ( 4 ) to the outlet ( 5 ) is deflected within the upper area of the housing ( 2 ).
