Improving the proportioning of raw components of a glass mixture

Upgrading Hoppers for Batching Bulk Materials

“…However, there exist a number of technical solutions [1,2] where two-speed unloading of bulk and clumping materials from the scales operating according to the principle of unloading with a residual tare is accomplished with the aid of one-speed feeding mechanisms, which reduces their capacity without any additional controlling action.…”

Upgrade of Proportioning Colorant and Decolorizing Agents for Glass Batch

“…The performance of the proportioner is based on variable-container weighing taking into account accidental overweight and possible sticking of material to the discharge feeder and the weighing hopper walls [2]. Using this method, material is charged into the proportioner using the feeder with constant screw parameters, whereas discharge is performed by the screw feeder with the variable pitch.…”
