Sediment Feeder (FM-1361.14)

DESCRIPTION:

Sediment Feeder (FM-1361.14)

The sediment feeder essentially consists of a vibrating conveyor, via which sediment is introduced into the experimental section. The feeder is usually mounted above the inlet to the experimental section. The sediment used is sand with a grain size of 1…2mm.

Specification

  • Sediment feeder for a sediment feed to the experimental flume.
  • Accessory for the sediment trap.
  • Mounting above the inlet of the experimental section.
