QMS Equipamento para Estudo do Manejo de Sólidos

The Solids Handling Study Unit "QMS" is designed to introduce the students in different aspect of solids behaviour, unit operations as size reduction, mixing, transport, discharge, weighing, etc. The unit consists of a bench on which are mounted several elements: ball mill, shaker and sieves, V-blender, cyclone, rotary cylinder, balance, etc. Operations object of study and the elements used for it:

• Size reduction: Ball mill with various sizes of balls.
• Analysis of grain measure by sieve: vibratory sieve and other sieves.
• Solids blending: V-Blender.
• Solids conveyor: Pneumatic conveyor.
• Solids separation: Cyclone.
• Solids storage: Rotary cylinder.
• Solids unloading: Hoppers and collecting tray.
• Solids properties: Graduated test tube.
• Solids weighing: Balance (scale).
