Abstract
Apparatus for readily separating a low viscosity liquid from an immiscible high viscosity paste or semi-solid comprising a conduit projecting proximate to an upwardly inclined surface provided with means for gravity drainage of the low viscosity liquid. The apparatus is particularly adapted for separating water from a coagulated aqueous latex of polymerized elastomer.
Claims5
Apparatus for separating a low viscosity liquid from an immiscible high viscosity paste, and apparatus comprising in combination a compaction conduit for the liquid and paste in fixed relation and projecting proximate to an upwardly inclined surface for receiving a compacted liquid and paste, the surface provided with means for gravity drainage of the low viscosity liquid wherein said conduit has at least one means for forming a drain passage in said paste.
Apparatus for separating a low viscosity liquid from an immiscible high viscosity paste, said apparatus comprising in combination a compaction conduit for the liquid and paste in fixed relation and projecting proximate to an upwardly inclined surface for receiving a compacted liquid and paste, the surface provided with means for gravity drainage of the low viscosity liquid wherein said inclined surface is a screw pump rotor flight.
Apparatus for separating a low viscosity liquid from an immiscible high viscosity paste, said apparatus comprising in combination a compaction conduit for the liquid and paste in fixed relation and projecting proximate to an upwardly inclined surface for receiving a compacted liquid and paste, the surface provided with means for gravity drainage of the low viscosity liquid wherein the end of said conduit remote from said inclined surface directly abuts a paste exit port of a dewatering screw device.
