Chop-throw; a potential driver for the next generation of pneumatic cleaning systems : SRDC Final report BS52S

Abstract

The objective of this project was to determine if the chop-throw concept offered potential for high efficiency pneumatic cleaning systems, by virtue of the inherently high efflux velocities and billet presentation from the thrower mechanism.The project only investigated attributes of the ?chop-throw? concept, as related to potential enhancements to the cleaning of cane. Performance monitoring of the current design was not considered to be part of this project.
