Abstract
The flip-flow screen is widely applied in dry deep screening processes across various industrial sectors. However, limitations in understanding the motion mechanisms of large-deformation screen plates and material particle groups hinder its further optimization and broader application. Therefore, an experimental platform was constructed to observe the coupled motion, utilizing high-speed imaging and target tracking algorithms to monitor the motion of both materials and the screen plate. The accuracy of the tracking results was validated through comparison with acceleration measurement system data. The study identified the evolutionary patterns of coupled motion states under varying driving frequencies. By analyzing the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of both particles and the screen plate, it was revealed the mechanisms underlying these different motion states. Additionally, the effects of material load and screen tension on the evolution of particle motion states were examined, clarifying the regulation methods of coupled motion states. Results indicate that with a material load of 4 kg and a driving amplitude of 6 mm, within a driving frequency range of 1.5 Hz to 15 Hz, the material particles and the screen plate sequentially exhibit relative static, synchronous periodic motion, period-doubling motion, chaotic motion, and inert motion. Among these states, chaotic motion promotes greater particle activity, benefiting material loosening and segregation. Within the 6 Hz to 15 Hz driving frequency range, reducing the material load or increasing screen tension facilitates the occurrence of chaotic motion. These findings provide valuable insights for the improved application and optimization of flip-flow screens.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
