Abstract
Bulk solids flow in different patterns depending on the geometry of the vessel from whichthey are being discharged. Some silo and hopper designs can lead to inefficient processing, spoiledproduct and even dangerous conditions when not designed for the material they store and process;however, the application of reliable material flow properties to good engineering design principles willresult in consistent and reliable flow of a vessels contents during discharge.This paper outlines typical flow patterns as they relate to bulk solids material flow properties in somecommon hopper designs and in an improved hopper design known as the Diamondback Hopper, anddiscusses the advantages and disadvantages of each geometry. Common flow problems, materialflow properties, and design criteria are defined.
