Estimating the term…
The invention relates to the field of processing materials, and more particularly to a method for processing heat-sensitive materials in a vortex chamber, and can be used for drying, comminuting, heat treating and simultaneously separating into fractions such heat-sensitive materials as grass, straw, herbal raw material, vegetables and other materials, or mixtures of different plant materials, as well as for processing agricultural waste, in particular poultry droppings and horse or cow manure, into safe organic materials such as, for example, fertilizers. A vortex chamber contains a rotor for comminuting material and is designed to be volume-adjustable, wherein the lateral wall is configured in the shape of a right circular cylinder and the outer surface of the lateral wall and/or the lower wall of the vortex chamber are provided with additional openings for the removal of processed material. The invention is intended for obtaining several end products with different consumer properties (fineness, wetness, density, etc.) from a material, wherein said products can be obtained simultaneously.
A method for processing heat-sensitive materials in a vortex chamber, comprising a vertical supply of wet material into the vortex chamber, the walls of which are made in the form of a body of revolution with a vertical axis coinciding with the axis of rotation of a rotor, which mechanically comminute the incoming material and entrains it in a vortex flow of drying gas entering into the chamber through the inlet tangential channel, wherein the vortex flow first dries the material, and then removes it from the chamber in the form of a gas suspension through a gas exhaust system, characterized in that the vortex chamber is configured to change its volume, wherein upper end and lower end walls of the chamber are made in the form of bodies of revolution, and a side wall connecting said ends is in the form of a side surface of a straight circular cylinder, wherein additional holes are made on the outer surface of the side wall and/or on the lower end wall of the chamber for extracting the processed material.
