A Case Study of Stacker Chute Analysis using DEM and Scale Modelling
The performance of bulk handling plants depends on all equipment that comprise the system operating efficiently without interruption, and poorly designed transfer chutes often become a costly bottleneck and maintenance nightmare even though the chute itself may appear to be only a small or low-cost part of the plant. In this case study, TUNRA Bulk Solids model a stacker chute in a stacker reclaimer using Discrete Element Method (DEM) and scale modelling. For further reading:
