Abstract
A novel and advantageous system for coating particles is provided. Particularly, a novel and advantageous system for coating particles using a helical conveyor is provided. Even more particularly, a novel and advantageous system for coating particles using a helical conveyor wherein vertical movement and cycling of material is generally done by the helical conveyor is provided.
Claims20
A helical conveyor system for use in coating particles, the system comprising:
- a chamber having a top portion and a bottom surface;
- a helix positioned proximate the bottom surface of the chamber;
- a casing provided about the helix, the casing having an open top and a bottom;
- and
- at least one void provided proximate the bottom of the casing, wherein particles flow through the at least one void towards the helix.
2 more elements
A method for coating particles, the method comprising:
- providing a chamber comprising a first coating chamber a bottom surface;
- a first helix positioned proximate the bottom surface of the chamber;
- a first casing provided about the helix, the casing having an open top and a bottom;
- and at least one void provided proximate the bottom of the casing, wherein particles flow through the at least one void towards the helix;
- rotating either the casing or the helix to introduce particles into the helix and draw the particles towards the open top;
- coating the particles with a coating liquid.
3 more elements
A system including helical conveyors for use in coating particles, the system comprising:
- a first coating chamber having a top portion and a bottom surface;
- a first helix positioned proximate the bottom surface of the chamber;
- a first casing provided about the helix, the casing having an open top and a bottom;
- and
- at least one void provided proximate the bottom of the casing, wherein particles flow through the at least one void towards the helix;
- a first conveyor configured to deliver particles from the first coating chamber to a second coating chamber, the second coating chamber having a top portion and a bottom surface;
- a second helix positioned proximate the bottom surface of the chamber;
- a second casing provided about the helix, the casing having an open top and a bottom;
- and
- at least one void provided proximate the bottom of the second casing, wherein particles flow through the at least one void towards the second helix,
- wherein the system is configured such that at least some of the particle are coated with a coating liquid before entering the second chamber.
