Abstract
A system for continuously processing a combination of materials includes a continuous process vessel having an outlet and one or more inlets. The continuous process vessel is configured to oscillate along an oscillation axis. An acoustic agitator is coupled to the continuous process vessel. The acoustic agitator is configured to oscillate the continuous process vessel along the oscillation axis. An outlet passage is in fluid communication with the outlet. At least a portion of the outlet passage or at least a portion of the continuous process vessel is disposed within a portion of the acoustic agitator.
Claims14
A system for continuously processing a combination of materials, the system comprising:
- a continuous process vessel having an outlet and one or more inlets, the continuous process vessel configured to oscillate along an oscillation axis, wherein the oscillation axis is oriented parallel with a direction of a gravitational force;
- an acoustic agitator coupled to the continuous process vessel, the acoustic agitator configured to oscillate the continuous process vessel along the oscillation axis;
- and an outlet passage in fluid communication with the outlet,
- wherein at least a portion of the outlet passage or at least a portion of the continuous process vessel is disposed within a portion of the acoustic agitator,
- wherein the acoustic agitator comprises a cavity extending through the agitator from a first surface to a second surface, and
- wherein the at least a portion of the outlet passage or the continuous process vessel is disposed within a portion of the cavity.
