Abstract
Apparatus for homogeneously mixing relative dry particulate material with liquid 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.
Claims19
Apparatus for homogeneously mixing relatively dry particulate material with liquid material comprising a distributor member rotatable about a vertical axis, means for feeding dry particulate material directly onto said distributor member for centrifugal distribution therefrom whereby there is formed below said distributor member a continuous annular free falling curtain layer of said particulate material, means below said distributor member within said curtain layer for forming and directing a separate continuous annular film or spray of liquid material into direct intersecting relation with said falling curtain layer in an annular region spaced outwardly beyond and below the periphery of said distributor member, further distributor means rotatable about said axis and located below said liquid film forming means to receive and centrifugally distribute the mixed particulate and liquid materials, means above said further distributor means for collecting said falling curtain and the admixed liquid materials and directing the same to said further distributor means, and means for collecting and discharging the centrifugally distributed material from said further distributor means.
