Abstract
The system and method requiring a diverter plate for an in-line mill. The plate for use with the in-line mill includes an aperture for passage of particulate laden fluid therethrough and a plurality of tabs such that the fluid and the particulate entrained thereon is deflected at a variety of axial angles. The diverter plate thus provides a reliable method such that the milling process and component wear resistance is made more efficient thereby.
Claims2
A method for increasing the variance of redirection in a particulate-laden pressured fluid stream comprising the steps of:
- a. Passing a portion of said pressurized fluid stream through an aperture centered upon a stationary, non-rotating plate;
- b. Redirecting a second portion of said pressurized fluid stream around a first tab of the stationary, non-rotating plate;
- c. Redirecting a third portion of said pressurized fluid stream around a second tab of the stationary, non-rotating plate, the first and second tabs being axially displaced from the aperture at a variety of angles so as to provide multiple angles of redirection for the portion of the particulate laden fluid stream redirected by the stationary, non-rotating plate.
