Investigation of Loads Acting on Flow Isolating Gates in Bulk Solids Storage Bins
Storage bins for bulk solids handling operations rely on flow isolating gates to prevent outflow of bulk solids during initial bin filling condition, as well as during periods of stoppages in the plant operation. Professor Alan Roberts combines an analytical review of gate load determination with an experimental study employing a large, pilot scale Train Loadout Bin handling iron ore to examine the design of TLO for train loading.
