Abstract
A kneading device for clay and similar materials in which a frame has a horizontal shaft rotatable therein with at least one radially offset kneading member. The frame includes an upwardly concave reaction member concentric with the shaft. The reaction member has a circumferential portion which is perforated and which can be replaced by another such member having different perforations therein. The circumferential portions, or shells, are supported in the frame by respective curved rocker elements disposed therebeneath.
Claims19
An apparatus for continuous treating of a mass of clay-like material simultaneously discharged uniformly comprising in combination:
- a frame, rotor means rotatable in said frame on a substantially horizontal axis and comprising at least one strip-plate formed kneading rasp member located approximately parallel to said axis as offset radially from said axis, a cylinder jacket and a container bottom having a perforated shell with a reaction surface toward said axis located essentially accurately with respect to said rotor means and said frame including therewith said container bottom as a reaction member beneath said rotor means and substantially concentric with the said axis and providing the reaction surface for cooperation directly with said kneading member, said reaction member including said perforated shell through which material is forced under pressure directly by said kneading member which forms an inclined entry angle with the reaction surface of said bottom having the perforated shell for continuous passage of the material.
