Abstract
Continuous processing equipment is suitable for use in the preparation of elastomeric compositions from end-of-life tire crumb or other vulcanized rubber starting materials. A reactor includes an outer barrel, a first shaft and a second shaft, and one or more piezoelectric transducer-driven acoustic horns arranged along the outer barrel and penetrating the outer barrel through a series of vibration-isolated ports which traverse a jacket of the outer barrel.
Claims18
A reactor comprising:
- an outer barrel;
- a first shaft and a second shaft, which cooperate as twin shafts, wherein each shaft accepts a slide on-and-off spiral transfer flight and one or more elliptical mixing lobes, wherein each lobe of the first shaft is paired with a lobe on the second shaft, rotating lobes create pressure impingement upon a mixture as it progresses through the reactor;
- and
- one or more piezoelectric transducer driven acoustic horns arranged along the outer barrel and penetrating the outer barrel through one or a series of vibration-isolated ports which traverse a jacket of the outer barrel;
- wherein, in operation, the reactor provides a coordinated, substantial increase in mechanical stress-strain, rate of shearing, and pulsed-timed micro-mechanical stress-stain, that is modulated by an intersecting, variable, high frequency acoustic, quantum field generated in a device by the one or more piezoelectric transducer driven acoustic horns.
