 PREFACE

Following the Guru Sishya Culture, the project Margdarshan is trying to

create a one to one long term relation for knowledge transfer. This report is a
knowledge base that tries to further strengthen and pass on the gained
knowledge to upcoming young managers. This will further strengthen the
relationship and attachment between Dronas and Arjuns.

This report deals with the basic of coriolis feeder and working in cement
industries. It also takes into account the operation of coriolis feeder. This
report briefly describes the construction of coriolis feeder and day to day
maintenance and experimental learning.

 PURPOSE OF CORIOLIS FEEDERS

Coal is main fuel for any Cement Plant & measurement and control of coal
to optimise the combustion in Kiln, pre-calciner is the basic requirement.
The main purpose of Coriolis feeders & other coal flow meters & feeders
is to measure coal flow rate & control accordingly. Coal flow feeders with
different principles, design & accuracy levels are available in market.

Hence its accurate weighing & feeding plays important role. Accurate
weighing and feeding of pulverised coal is essential for the production of
high quality cement. High accuracy, repeatability, reliability are some of
the requirements of these weighing and feeding systems. A mass flow
measuring system utilising the Coriolis principle is now available for
these tasks.
 MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE OF CORIOLIS FEEDERS-
The concept of the total system depends on the desired feed rate and
the flow characteristics of the respective feed material and includes:
• dimensioning of mass flow silo
• good material discharge
• exact measuring

• high speed control

•
 MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE OF CORIOLIS FEEDERS-
The Coriolis force is a force, which acts upon a moving mass on a
rotation wheel. This physical law is the basis of our Coriolis measuring
systems. Feed material is fed to a measuring wheel running at a constant
speed. The Coriolis force acting upon the feed material is measured with
high precision by integrated load cell and it is exactly proportional to the
mass flow, even at varying bulk density and grain size.

CORIOLIS PRINCIPLE
 MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE OF CORIOLIS FEEDERS-

P = feed rate [t/h]

M = torque = FC · R
 = angular velocity [1/s]
R = radius of measuring wheel [m]

FZ = centrifugal force
FR = friction force
FC = coriolis force
