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 – allows
feeding onto already loaded belts.
Discharge Trajectory
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
