The advantages about Helix Chute Design

Setup Bulk Material properties…


· Setup Material Particle Density

· Enter Particle size range – specify maximum and minimum particle diameter

· Specify Transfer Capacity or throughput in tonnes per hour

· Input material co-efficient of restitution and chute face properties such as restitution and friction

· Add multiple feed points with different materials – allowsfeeding onto already loaded belts.

Perform DEM Calculations & make a movie


Press Calculate to start the DEM calculations and watch as the particles are created in space and then fall onto the moving feed belt and then flow through the chute.

· Powerful calculations to predict the flow of particles through the chute allows particles to collide with each other and with the chute faces.

· Discrete Element Method (DEM) particle flow modeling

· Adjust the position of belts, pulleys, impact plates, chute liners and skirt plates to optimize the flow thorough the chute.

· Export the trace lines and Trajectories to CAD drawings
 
Record the calculations and produce trace reports and movies


Press Record …

· Record the Particle Flow inWindows Media Player .avi movie format

· Extract reports showing particle positions at each time step of the calculations

· Reports to show velocity of each particle at each time step, including a breakdown showing the velocity in each 3D axis.

· Trace a single particle trajectory as it collides with other particles and the chute faces, belts and other surfaces in the transfer

· Replay the particle trajectory, one step at a time in order to observe actual collision points with surfaces and rebound trajectories.

· Export the trace lines and Trajectories to CAD drawings

· Particle velocities are displayed by colour gradient as well as recorded

Draw the Chute

The Helix chute design program has the following main features:

· Draw a 3D model of the transfer station in the program

· Use a CAD drawing program to draw the transfer station (optional)

· Add multiple feed and receiving conveyor belts

· Add multiple feed points with different materials

· Add conveyor pulleys to transfer chute

· Cater for any geometry transfer chute

· Ability to Import transfer chute geometry from CAD drawing programs

· Record the Particle Flow inWindows Media Player .avi movie format

· Export the final design geometry back to a CAD drawing program for incorporation of the design in
  project drawings

 Helix Chute Design







 . . . . is a powerful computer software

package developed to make conveyor transfer

chute design more scientific. The program uses

the Discrete Element Method, called DEM, to

calculate and simulate the path a bulk material

follows through a transfer.

 
 
 
 

Powerful DEM modelling and Calculations

Helix Technologies’ research and development of

conveyor design software began in 1992 and this

Chute Design Program is the culmination of

intensive software development by the company.

The program uses OpenGL graphics coupled to

DEM calculations and 3D Vector geometry

developed entirely in-house to provide the

materials handling design engineer with a

complete design tool for transfer chutes.

HELIX delta-T for WINDOWS - Professional Version 6

BELT CONVEYOR DESIGN PROGRAM

HELIX delta-T is a powerful computer software package developed to assist materials handling design engineers and equipment suppliers with conveyor design and optimisation. Helix Technologies' research and development of this software began in 1992 and delta-T now has more than a thousand users in 25 countries who depend on the program to provide consistent, accurate and cost effective belt conveyor and material handling designs. Features of the new delta-T version 6 program include:


•Automatic Selection of Belt and Tension, Power Calculations.

•Equipment Selection from Databases for Belts, Idlers, Pulleys & Shafts, Gearboxes, Motors, Fluid Couplings, Brakes etc.

•New Equipment databases for Shaft and Drive couplings and conveyor holdbacks have been added in version 6

•Draw a sketch of the conveyor Profile and also view a scale drawing and a 3D model of the conveyor - use Drag and Drop to add Pulleys, Drives, loading Hoppers

•Calculate concave and convex Vertical Curves including belt lift off radii, edge tensions and centre tensions


•Horizontal Curve calculations - design curved conveyors including banking angle and belt drift calculations for all operating conditions

•Calculate using CEMA, ISO 5048 or the new Viscoelastic method for low resistance rubber belts

•Add any number of Conveyor Pulleys, Drives, Loading points, Trippers, Brakes etc.

•Over 70 reports can be viewed, printed or exported to Word, PDF files or Excel etc.

.You can merge multiple selected reports into a single PDF file.



•Delta-T6 has been completely re-written in Microsoft Visual Studio and uses the latest software development tools from Microsoft. It is written in a development language called C# and uses the MS Common Language Runtime compiled for .Net with xml data. This technology is the latest available from Microsoft and this makes it compatible with the latest operating systems including Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 and also 32bit and 64bit systems.
