Endless Path Devices (Spiked Lattices)
topic
Spiked lattices are circulating endless belts with transverse bars carrying steel spikes at an angle. They feed material upward, with a counter-rotating evener roller stripping oversized clumps. Opening intensity depends on device spacing, speed ratios, total working surface, and number of points. Opening with spiked lattices is always gentle, even when fairly intensive.
Role
Spiked lattices serve as forwarding and opening devices in bale openers and hopper feeders. They produce a mixing and rolling effect in hoppers, which aids blending but can form neps if the hopper is overloaded.
