Fragment Queue: Capacity 50-5000 kg, Queue Length 1-10 meters

Component Specifications

Definition

The Fragment Queue is a critical component within fragment generator machinery that serves as an intermediate buffer zone. It systematically holds fragmented output materials (such as plastic pellets, metal chips, or wood shavings) in a controlled sequence before they are transferred to subsequent processing stages like sorting, cooling, or packaging. This component ensures continuous material flow, prevents downstream bottlenecks, and maintains processing efficiency by compensating for variations in fragmentation rates and downstream equipment speeds.

Working Principle

Operates on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) queuing principle. Fragmented materials enter the queue via conveyor or gravity feed, are temporarily stored in designated compartments or on a moving belt, and are systematically released based on downstream equipment readiness signals. Sensors monitor queue levels and control material release to maintain optimal buffer capacity and prevent overflow or starvation.

Materials

Typically constructed from wear-resistant materials: carbon steel (AISI 1045) for structural frames, stainless steel (304 or 316) for contact surfaces in corrosive environments, polyurethane or HDPE liners for abrasion resistance, and food-grade plastics (PP, PE) for food/pharmaceutical applications.
