DEM Study of the design parameters of a linear vibratory feeder in packaging black pepper seeds
Vibratory feeders are vastly used in a variety of applications such as minerals, petrochemical and food industries in order to transport the small parts such as granular materials. In this research, a flow of black pepper seeds in a vibratory feeder is modelled using discrete element method. The effects of tank vibration frequency, amplitude, and slope and the angle in which the motor orients on mass flow rate and motor required power are studied. The aim of this study is to reach an optimal design of vibratory feeder to obtain higher efficiency. The results of simulations are analyzed using analysis of variance. It is found that the most effective parameters on the mass flow rate and the required power are the motor orientation and the tank frequency, respectively. The best outcome corresponding to the maximum mass flow rate and the minimum required power is found to occur at the frequency of 15 Hz, amplitude of 15 mm, the tank slope of 5° and the motor angle of 45°.

期刊介绍:
Although many phenomena observed in granular materials are still not yet fully understood, important contributions have been made to further our understanding using modern tools from statistical mechanics, micro-mechanics, and computational science.
These modern tools apply to disordered systems, phase transitions, instabilities or intermittent behavior and the performance of discrete particle simulations.
>> Until now, however, many of these results were only to be found scattered throughout the literature. Physicists are often unaware of the theories and results published by engineers or other fields - and vice versa.
The journal Granular Matter thus serves as an interdisciplinary platform of communication among researchers of various disciplines who are involved in the basic research on granular media. It helps to establish a common language and gather articles under one single roof that up to now have been spread over many journals in a variety of fields. Notwithstanding, highly applied or technical work is beyond the scope of this journal.
