Flow of Bulk Solids from Silos Model FM 120
Flow of Bulk Solids from Silos Model FM 120
Sci-tech Flow of Bulk Solids from Silos Apparatus Model FM 120 provides a practical demonstration of the types of discharge from different silos: mass flow, funnel flow and arching. The type of discharge that occurs is dependent on the flow properties of the bulk solids, the silo geometry and the wall material.
The trainer includes two identically shaped silos with transparent front walls and different wall materials. The silos have a wedge-shaped discharge hopper whose inclination and width are adjustable.
The outflow behavior is characterized by the measured time, the weight of the bulk solids, the silo geometry and the observed discharge type.
Flour is recommended as additional bulk solid for the experiments with arching.
Optional ‘Sci-Cal’ Computer Control Software & Interface in ‘LabVIEW’.

Item Description
Features
- Adjustable silo geometry
- Different types of discharge: mass flow, funnel flow and arching
Silos are used for the large-scale storage of a wide variety of bulk solids. The stored bulk solids are then seamlessly supplied to production processes. To achieve this goal, the silo has to be designed as a mass flow silo.
