Abstract
Method for homogeneously mixing relative dry particulate material such as detergent with liquid material which may be viscous or sticky or otherwise difficult to admix with the particulate material comprising a spinning disc for receiving and forming by centrifugal action a continuous annular free falling curtain layer of particulate material and a lower spinning disc within the curtain layer for forming and centrifugally directing a continuous annular film or spray of liquid material into intersecting relation with the curtain layer.
Claims7
A method of mixing relatively dry particulate material with liquid material which comprises providing and centrifugally spreading at different levels continuous separate substantially coaxial annular layers or layer-like formations of said materials, and wherein said particulate material is distributed outwardly by centrifugal force to form a descending free falling annular curtain of said particulate material, and said liquid material is distributed outwardly by centrifugal force from within said curtain as an annular film or spray directed toward and intersecting said curtain to mix with said freely falling particulate material.
A method of mixing relatively dry particulate material with liquid material which comprises providing and centrifugally spreading at different levels continuous separate substantially coaxial annular layers or layer-like formations of a first particulate material and said liquid material directed into intersecting relation, and including the further step of introducing at another level a second centrifugally spread particulate material into said annular first particulate material and liquid material mixture.
