Continuous flow volume measurement method - involves indicator mechanism to evaluate vertical component of goods flow force of fall

摘要

The goods are in the form of granules or a powder and this slides down a chute into a vertical pipe with a centre body to produce an annular stream which flows into the measuring device, where it can be recombined; the device comprises a vertical deflecting funnel with a central outlet, and the annular guiding device is positioned directly above it. The funnel is connected to a balance and is excited into horizontal oscillations by an exciter, directly mounted on the funnel; the central body of the annular guiding device has a conical top end hanging from a rod and connected by its bottom to a cylinder. The whole of the central body can be moved up and down.
