Abstract
This device crushes crystal granules in a solution to maintain granule size, shape, and texture. This is done by an inline crushing and grinding mill with fluted crushing rollers rotating at different speeds featuring a protective emergency fluidic bypass channel and follow-on emergency fluidic waste drain.
Claims8
A crystal growth enhancement device comprising:
- a) a mill body comprising at least two fluted mill roller shafts aligned generally parallel to one another with a gap between them wherein the gap is set to the diameter of a maximum crystal size to be produced by the device;
- i. wherein the fluted mill rollers spin at different speeds;
- b) an influent containment section connected to the top of the mill body with a fluidic input pipe connected at the lower end of the influent containment section;
- i. wherein a fluidic flow from the fluidic input pipe keeps material in the influent containment section semi fluidized;
- c) an input of an emergency fluidic bypass pipe connected to the influent containment section above the level of the fluidic input pipe;
- d) an emergency sanitary drain port connected to the influent containment section above the input of the emergency fluidic bypass pipe;
- e) an effluent material fluid containment section connected below the mill body;
- f) an output of the emergency fluidic bypass pipe connected to the effluent material containment section above a level of an eductor pump;
- and
- g) the eductor pump connected to the bottom of the effluent material fluid containment section.
