Boiler Fuel Feed Systems
Jeffrey Rader Boiler Fuel Feed Systems are typically made up of a combination of metering and conveying equipment such as underpile screw reclaimers, drag chain conveyors, screw conveyors, robbing screws, slide gate valves and rotary airlock/feeders.
Depending upon the desired flow rate to the boiler, this system of equipment can be speed controlled faster or slower to obtain that desired flow rate.
Because this type of boiler fuel feed system is made of a collection of conventional and standard pieces of conveying equipment it has the benefit of many years of industry experience with reliability of those types of equipment.
Boiler Feed Systems have been used for conveying material to waste fuel boilers such as bark, fines and pins, sawdust and sludge.
Because this type of Boiler Fuel Feed System is a collection of different types of conventional conveying equipment there is not a model number system in place.
Pricing for this type of system will vary greatly based on a number of factors such as size, type of flow rate of reclaimer, size, length, quantity and flow rate of drag chain conveyors, screw conveyors and robbing screw conveyors, size, flow rate and quantity of rotary/airlock feeder, slide gate valves and chute work.
Sizing the Boiler Fuel Feed System is based on the customers requirements such as quantity of material over time to be conveyed, the density and type of material to be conveyed and surroundings and conditions where the material is going to be conveyed.
Based on the above criteria and after applying the proper safety factors and calculations, the proper size conveyors for the job can be determined.
