Abstract
A dehydrator of this invention comprises a rotatable dehydrating tank and a water spray cylinder concentrically disposed therewith and rotated with said dehydrating tank. Said water spray cylinder is formed of a porous material having a large number of water-permeable holes distributed with a density varying with the upper and lower parts of the peripheral wall of said water spray cylinder.
Claims14
A dehydrator which comprises:
- a housing;
- a centrifugal dehydrating tank rotatably supported on the housing;
- a water spray cylinder having a peripheral wall formed by sintering and prepared from a porous material having a larger number of fine water-permeable holes and set in place concentrically with the dehydrating tank, and whose interior defines a water-receiving cavity;
- means for rotating the dehydrating tank and water spray cylinder, said cylinder being sufficiently rigid to withstand centrifugal forces developed by said rotating means;
- means for supplying water to the water-receiving cavity;
- and
- means for drawing off from the housing the water centrifugally ejected from the water-receiving cavity and centrifugally discharged from the dehydrating tank after passing through washing placed around the water spray cylinder.
