  2. Aquatic feeding mechanisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_feeding_mechanisms

    This mode of feeding has two main phases: expansion and compression. [2] The expansion phase involves the initial opening of the jaws to capture prey. These movements during the expansion phase are similar across all suction feeders with the kinesis of the skull leading to slight variations. During the compression phase, the jaws close and ...

  3. Rotary feeder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_feeder

    Rotary feeders, also known as rotary airlocks or rotary valves, are commonly used in industrial and agricultural applications as a component in a bulk or specialty material handling system. Rotary feeders are primarily used for discharge of bulk solid material from hoppers /bins, receivers, and cyclones into a pressure or vacuum-driven ...

  4. Rotary-screw compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-screw_compressor

    The gas compression process of a rotary screw is a continuous sweeping motion, so there is very little pulsation or surging of flow, as occurs with piston compressors. This also allows screw compressors to be significantly quieter and produce much less vibration than piston compressors, even at large sizes, and produces some benefits in efficiency.

  5. Vibrating feeder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrating_feeder

    A vibratory feeder is an instrument that uses vibration to "feed" material to a process or machine.Vibratory feeders use both vibration and gravity to move material. Gravity is used to determine the direction, either down, or down and to a side, and then vibration is used to move the material.

  6. Compression (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_(physics)

    Compression test on a universal testing machine. Compression of solids has many implications in materials science, physics and structural engineering, for compression yields noticeable amounts of stress and tension. By inducing compression, mechanical properties such as compressive strength or modulus of elasticity, can be measured. [5]

  7. Expeller pressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expeller_pressing

    The machine uses friction and continuous pressure from the screw drive to move and compress the seed material. The oil seeps through small openings that do not allow seed fiber solids to pass. Afterward, the seeds are formed into a hardened press cake, which is removed from the machine. Pressure involved in expeller pressing creates heat in the ...

  9. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    In mechanics, compressive strength (or compression strength) is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size (compression). It is opposed to tensile strength which withstands loads tending to elongate, resisting tension (being pulled apart).
