Gravity flow equipment
Gravity-flowing equipment is very often used in modern agricultural enterprises to transport grain crops, which can be an excellent alternative to various conveyors and conveyors.
The Techservice company is engaged in the manufacture of such installations - we can order gravity equipment for elevators, granaries and other industrial facilities where it is required to organize the movement of bulk materials between different vertical levels.
What is gravity equipment
Gravity flow equipment is a system in which bulk solids move under the influence of their own weight.
It is a collection of pipes, sectors, branch pipes and elbows, which are located under a certain slope, which ensures the movement of the flow.
To obtain the required performance characteristics of the system, pipes of various sections can be used in the design:
-
round;
-
rectangular;
-
square.
The capacity of the highway depends on the angle of its inclination, as well as on the cross section - these characteristics are chosen depending on the type of production at the facility, as well as on the type of transported substance.
In cases where it becomes necessary to change the cross section, reducers are used (usually they are needed at unloading points).
To change the direction of the cargo flow in the places of branching, toggle valves are used, and in those places where unloading takes place, valves and sliding gates are used.
It is important to be aware that the continuity and performance of the system largely depends on how well thought out the design and all its elements are.
Therefore, the development of such equipment, as well as its installation, should be entrusted only to specialists with appropriate professional training and qualifications.
Advantages
Among the main advantages characterizing this type of equipment are the following factors:
-
convenient transportation of bulk materials to a great height;
-
low energy consumption;
-
compact dimensions;
-
simple and reliable design;
-
simple maintenance;
-
long service life.
What determines the cost of installation
The main advantages that distinguish gravity equipment for grain include the following:
-
low cost of transportation;
-
simple operation and maintenance;
-
high reliability and no leaks;
-
versatility.
The Techservice company is the high professionalism of the team working on the design and manufacture of gravity equipment, as well as affordable prices and a conscientious approach to completing the tasks.
