Abstract: In order to increase the fitness for use of a closing device (1) for continuously and gravimetrically dosing pourable material, particularly rough fuels, a flow of material is conveyed from a charging opening (5) to an emptying opening (7) in a housing (4) with a rotor (3), which is driven about a vertical rotation axis, while determining the instantaneous load over a measuring section, and with a force measuring device (10), which detects the instantaneous load of the flow of material guided via the rotor (3) and which is connected to the housing (4) mounted on a pivot axis (8). According to the invention, a vibrating funnel (50) with a vibration generator (52) is provided above the charging opening (5) of the rotor (3).

Abstract: A method for the continuous gravimetric metering of flowing materials for burner systems, in which the instantaneous mass flow is determined and metering occurs by means of a metering unit can be achieved by means of determination of the type of flowing material. The instantaneous heat output for the flowing material is determined from the type of flowing material and the heat capacity thereof and the mass flow determination. The output from the metering device is regulated to match the set feed rate, depending on the instantaneous heat output. In addition, a device for the continuous gravimetric metering of flowing materials for burner systems comprises a metering unit by means of which the flowing material can be metered.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to reduce the complexity of installing and placing into operation a device for effecting continuous gravimetric dosing and determining the mass flow rate of free-flowing products with a dosing device (4) and with the determination of the instantaneous mass flow rate before a delivery location (8) by means of a dosing controller (10), whereby the discharge is controlled by varying the rotational speed of a drive (6) of the dosing device (4) by means of a motor controller. The aim of the invention is achieved by virtue of the fact that the dosing device (10) and the motor controller (20) are combined to form a subassembly (G).

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for the continuous gravimetric metering and pneumatic conveying of pourable material which is conveyed across a given distance by a metering rotor (1) which is arranged in a pressure-proof manner in a housing (2) and is provided with conveying pockets (1a). Said housing (2) comprises a charging station and a discharging station for the pourable material, which are connected to the inlet/outlet (4, 5) of a pneumatic conveyor system. The housing (2) is connected to a force metering device which detects the momentary load generated on the metering rotor (1) by the conveyed material. The inlet and outlet of the pneumatic conveyor system are connected to the bottom of the housing (2). In order to build the inventive device in a compact manner while reducing the assembly requirements and improving flow guidance, the flow from the inlet (4) to the outlet (5) is deflected within the upper area of the housing (2).

Abstract: In order to increase the dosing accuracy of a dosing device, the bulk material is temporarily stored upstream from a reservoir (1) in an intermediate storage container (6) and is transferred only when a compensating pressure value is reached. The invention also relates to a corresponding device with a valve lock (4,5) on the intermediate container (6).
