The GUNT HM 162.73 Sediment Feeder introduces sediment into the experimental section of flume HM 162 using a vibrating conveyor. Typically mounted above the inlet, it allows precise feeding of sand with a grain size of 1–2 mm while preventing vibrations from affecting the experimental section.
Product Features
- Vibrating conveyor introduces sediment into experimental section
- Mounted above the inlet for controlled sediment delivery
- Sand with grain size of 1–2 mm is used
- Installed on a separate walk-on platform to prevent vibrations affecting experiments
- Automatically identified by PLC upon connection
- Vibration intensity operated and adjusted via HM 162 PLC touch screen
- Not suitable for suspended load transport
- Used together with sediment trap HM 162.72
Benefits
- Enables controlled and precise sediment feeding in hydraulic experiments
- Prevents interference with experimental measurements due to vibration
- Supports reproducible studies of bed-load transport
- Seamless integration with PLC-controlled HM 162 flume
