Bucket Elevators - Discharge Behaviour in a DEM Simulation

[@robinyilmaz1155]

Good stuff! Would have really liked to see the version with a better bucket design though!

[@spitsyn.andrey]

Thank you! Looking forward for CFD-DEM Coupled simulation part 3.

[@VitoCalabrese-e7b]

Really nice simulation, please let me see how it does continue...thanks !

[@rojinathan2457]

Thanks for the informative message, I could clearly understand the working principle of the bucket elevator. Thanks a lot!

[@IstasPumaNevada]

I really enjoyed this and would like to see the final results.

[@KyleMoon478]

Can you please make the simulation available on your website.

[@treadless_co]

Please share the updated geometry video! (Or, is the updated bucket angle shown at 0:19?)

[@paulanderson262]

I find this very fascinating, I was wondering if the shape of the bucket would make a difference? It would be interesting if the bucket was sloped less than 90 degrees to the belt. Would it discharge more completely and sooner? Thanks again

[@engineerdo6568]

It depends a lot on shape, friction values, the bulk material properties and centrifugal acceleration...

Hi, do you know how to do validation in DEM software?
I am new in ROCKY DEM. In case of Ansys Fluent, normally we use several parameters such as Residual Value, Conservation of Mass and Energy, Mesh Independency Test and Iteration test.
How about DEM?
Could you please inform it to us
Thank you so much for your help and support

[@alwiwibawa2946]

Finally video that I've been looking for!! Great job!! Hopefully you can give me some tutorial

[@victoryakeh2818]

Would love to see the final results

[@davidcorrea1663]

Thank you, for another great video!!

[@joerg_lerch]

Tres bien. Meci. Have you tried to change the geometrie of the buckets?

[@007aha1]

really interesting video

[@arty2k]

What if the buckets were not fixed but instead a swing and the contents were tipped?

[@tommybaier784]

Leider keine Kontaktdaten... Tja ich hätte eine grandiose Idee muss ich wohl mit wem anderen machen schade...

[@wseeweeeessw]

I'm having that problem I get to much sand back after 110 tons per hour and overloading my motor

[@khetebhaloporomanno]

Did u show the final results?

[@moritzmoritz1314]

Hallo Henrig,
finde deine Videos echt gut. Womit machst du eigentlich deine Animationen für RUclips?

[@engineerdo6568]

Paraview and the universal tool for every engineer: PowerPoint

[@kevinsmith5616]

Very interesting and informative.

[@KyleMoon478]

Great video!

[@mozzbiesharp3728]

Very informative, thank you.

[@engineerdo6568]

Glad it was helpful!

[@narimanmozaffari9455]

Hi, i want to model a real elavator that i had designed and got a problem
Can you please help me?

[@engineerdo6568]

Probably. Please go to engineerdo.com and write me an E-Mail with your specifications of your simulation model. We can offer custom simulations to you.

[@woodzyfox4735]

your missing One key aspect with the lifts, real world lifts have a slight negative (-5) tilt back on the top side to help dump more on the down stroke in to the funnel this will prevent items form returning at a much higher rate.
I fix these for a living, its real trust me :) Think of it as a inverted drop roller coster

[@engineerdo6568]

To clarify: are the buckets tilted backwards on the belt?

[@ashrafashour-ni2wy]

I need final

[@narimanmozaffari9455]

hi
by which software did you analyse this model?

[@engineerdo6568]

Its called Liggghts

[@wazjebk]

Hi, would like to see final result - very nice video - I like your channel.

[@engineerdo6568]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@santosobagoes]

nice content… thx

[@vincentbuysang7751]

What the name of this software?

[@engineerdo6568]

Hey Vincent, the name of the software is LIGGGHTS
