Abstract
A device for mixing glue or a like flowable substance with particulate material such as wood chips in which the chips are fed into one end of an elongated horizontal cylindrical chamber and are discharged from the other end while being caused to follow a rotary path in the chamber by a mixing member in the chamber having arms extending radially to near the periphery of the chamber. Glue feeding conduits extend into the chamber and into the ring of material therein between adjacent ones of said arms. The glue feeding conduits are connected in groups to manifolds and can be removed from the chamber in groups together with the respective manifold.
Claims18
A device for mixing glue with particulate material comprising an elongated, horizontal cylindrical mixing chamber having an inlet at one end and an outlet at the other end, said chamber having a glue applying zone at the end adjacent said inlet, a rotating shaft extending along the central longitudinal axis of said chamber, a plurality of axially spaced, radial arms extending from said shaft to adjacent the wall of said chamber for mixing material in said chamber upon rotation of said shaft, said rotating arms moving said material circumferentially in a path adjacent the wall of said chamber, a plurality of axially spaced glue feeding conduits in said glue applying zone extending adjacent the periphery within said chamber with their ends in the path of said material and opening in the forward direction of rotation of said material, each of said conduits being adjacent the path of one of said arms so that said arm moves the material laterally in passing the open end of the adjacent conduit to prevent accumulation of glue on the open end of said conduit, the rotation of said arms mixing said material and glue.
A device for mixing glue with particulate material comprising an elongated, horizontal cylindrical mixing chamber having an inlet at end and an outlet at the other end, said chamber having a glue applying zone at the end adjacent said inlet, a rotating shaft extending along the central longitudinal axis of said chamber and having a plurality of axially spaced, radial arms extending from said shaft to adjacent the wall of said chamber, said arms moving said material in a circumferential path adjacent the wall of said chamber, a plurality of axially spaced, glue feeding conduits in said glue applying zone extending downwardly into said chamber adjacent its circumferential wall and opening into the path of said material with their open ends facing in the direction of forward motion of said material, each of said conduits being adjacent the path of one of the arms in the glue applying zone, each of said arms in said zone having an outer end adjacent the wall of said chamber projecting forwardly circumferentially from said radial arm to move the material inwardly from said wall, said end having inclined faces converging in the direction of movement of said arm to deflect the material axially as said arm rotates to move said material laterally in passing the open end of an adjacent conduit to prevent accumulation of glue on the end of said conduit.
