Dimensionering van homogeniseringsinstallaties

Designing of homogenizing equipment
The spread in quality in a large stream of granular material can be sufficiently reduced only by homogenization in mixing heaps and bunker installations. In this treatment each unit of consumption is composed of portions which, at given intervals, are taken from the stream.
The paper indicates how to choose the number and size of the portions and the intervals between them in order to achieve the required reduction in spread at minimum costs.
This determination, elucidated by means of an example, is based on the correlo-gram of the stream referred to thin slices.
