Determination of parameters and design of the jet feeder hopper

Abstract

Equipment based on a jet feeder hopper with a capacity of 8 m3/h (figure) is recommended for hydraulic classification and transportation of basalt screenings with a grain size of up to 5 mm and can be used in the manufacture of equipment for a mining enterprise for processing basalt screenings. This method is also suitable for classifying other granular minerals by size and density, such as: artificial sands from rocks, labradorites, migmatites, dolomites, quartzites, as well as materials containing ilmenite, monazite, staurolite, and silicanite
