Feed material, consisting of fresh and recycled particles, may be introduced by a belt conveyor, a chute, pipe or similar devices. Liquid phase may be introduced either before or immediately after the solids enter the cylinder. In iron ore balling, premoistened wet filter cake usually constitutes the feed but water sprays may also be located inside the drum for moisture addition to aid balling control. Although water is the usual wetting agent, various solutions and slurries may be used in mixed fertilizer granulation. These may... 

Most powder systems are transported at some time during their manufacture as flowing streams Hoppers are emptied by screw or belt conveyors, powders are transferred to bagging operations by screw or pneumatic conveyors and many solids are transported through pipes. A general rule in all sampling is that whenever possible the sample should be taken when the powder is in motion. This is usually easy with...

Fig. 1.5. Continuous belt-conveyor type heat treat furnace (1800 F, 982 C maximum). Except for very short lengths with very lightweight loads, a belt needs underside supports that are nonabrasive and heat resistant—in this case, thirteen rows, five wide of vertical 4 in. (100 mm) Series 304 stainless-steel capped pipes, between the burners of zones 2 and 4. An unfired cooling one Is to the right of zone 3.

Industrial equipment is a continuing area of development for plastics. Pipes, pumps, valves and sight glasses, made from such materials as PVC, PTFE and poly-4-methylpent-l-ene, have become well established on account of their corrosion resistance. The nylons are used for such diverse applications as mine conveyor belts and main drive gears for knitting machines and paper-making equipment. These and other materials are widely used where such features as toughness, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, non-stick properties, electrical insulation capability and transparency are of importance. 

The bulk properties of a polymer ean often be altered considerably by the incorporation of additives. Probably the most well-known examples of this occur in rubber technology where variations in the choice of additives can produce such widely differing products as tyres, battery boxes, latex foam upholstery, elastic bands and erasers. It is also possible to achieve variations as extensive as this amongst plastics materials, in particular with PVC from which rigid rainwater piping, baby pants, conveyor belting, footballs and domestic insulating flex may all be prepared.

Continuous horizontal vacuum filters especially suited to free settling and draining solids, (a) Principle of the conveyor belt filter units may operate up to 0.S m/sec with a cycle time up to 10 min and produce cake thicknesses up to 15 cm. (b) Showing the construction of a grooved rubber belt support for the filter cloth of the belt filter (Purchas, 1981). (c) Rotating horizontal vacuum filter the unit has readily accessible piping and is amenable to thorough washing of free draining solids (Dorr-Oliver Inc.).

In the mining industry, the excellent wear resistance of polyurethanes provides financial and maintenance advantages to the mines. The mechanical and chemical resistance of the polyurethanes can be used to advantage in many applications. Applications are varied and include pump components, cyclones, conveyor belt idler wheels, belt heads, and scrapers. Specialized pipes and tubes, as well as tank linings, also use polyurethane.
