Industrial Conditions of the Granular Material Manufacturing Process

Abstract:

The article presents industrial conditions of manufacturing multi-component heterogeneous mixtures of granular materials. The study analyzed the production technology and devices used for production such as storage siloes, an impact screen, a cyclone separator, a shaving and dust extractor, a screw mixer, a tensometric weigh, a bucket conveyor. A division and the successive stages of manufacturing process has been presented: unloading, receipt and storage of raw materials, quality control of components, technology cleaning and sorting of raw materials, dosage and mixing of feed material, bagging, storage, extraction processes and evaluation of homogeneity in a fodder mixing plant. Moreover the methods of assessing the homogeneity of the multi-component heterogeneous mixtures has been presented. The research was conducted in industrial conditions.
