Particle-level residence time data in a twin-screw feeder

A full discharge process of a twin-screw feeder has been simulated with DEM (discrete element method). The result files are available at the Mendeley Data repository (https://doi.org/10.17632/d76rzzd8r7.1) and contain the following particle data: x,y,z coordinates of the initial position inside the...

Sumario:A full discharge process of a twin-screw feeder has been simulated with DEM (discrete element method). The result files are available at the Mendeley Data repository (https://doi.org/10.17632/d76rzzd8r7.1) and contain the following particle data: x,y,z coordinates of the initial position inside the feeder, particle radius, and the discharge time of each particle are available at three different initial feeder fill levels. With this data it is possible to generate residence time distributions (RTDs) of arbitrary spatial regions in the feeder to analyze the material flow inside the feeder, optimize refill strategies, and ultimately improve batch definition in continuous manufacturing. Example RTDs and evaluation scripts are available in the repository.
