7 Material Pressure Feed Vacuum Feed Vacuum Feed/Rest
Minimum Recommended Velocities at the Feed Point for Various Materials Material Pressure Feed Vacuum Feed Vacuum Feed/Rest m/s m/s m/s alumina calcium carbonate clay coffee beans corn(grits) corn shelled lime(hydrated) lime(pebble) malt phosphate PE pellets Salt Sand Soda ash Starch Sugar Wheat

8 Kalman et al. Generalized Velocities
Pickup Velocities

9 Master Curve Developed for threshold superficial velocities
General Expression

10 Archimedes Number Ar=ρ(ρp –ρ)d3 g/µ2 Ar*=KAr
Ar=ρ(ρp –ρ)d3 g/µ2 Ar*=KAr K- parameter function of specific properties affecting specific threshold velocity to modify the Archimedes number
