The model and the quantity having the optimum impact force are selected according to the type, the shape, the size, and clinging and blocking condition in silo, hopper etc.
For instance, when installing on the conical hopper of 1,200mm (47 inch) dia. 3.2mm (0.126 inch) thick, find the point of intersection X according to the figure below. As the point X is within the range of RKV40 2 nos, and RKV60 2 nos, select RKV40 2 nos, for small clinging strength, and RKV60 2 nos, for large clinging strength.
The larger conical and pyramid hoppers are, the easier segregation is caused and also dead stock is apt to be occaured to the corner of pyramid. In this care, it is better that plural number of knocker below one rank are installed rather than large knocker.
For small cone, pyramid hopper
For large cone, pyramid hopper
In case of bad fluid materials
In case of clinging on the surface of wall and the inside pipe
