Abstract
A system for mixing of wood chips or the like with glue which involves an intensive movement of the chips during the addition of the glue and a subsequent thorough mixing of the glue and the chips in a ring of material to be mixed, is characterized by steadily accelerating the chips out of an axial motion via a centrifugal and helical motion and by the addition of the glue during this acceleration, the acceleration to the velocity of the ring of material to be mixed taking place only following the addition of the liquid.
Claims14
A method for mixing of particulate solids with liquids, in particular for gluing wood chips or the like, wherein there is an intensive movement of the solids during the addition of the liquid and a subsequent thorough mixing of the liquid and the solids in a ring of material to be mixed, characterized in that the solids are steadily accelerated out of an axial motion via a centrifugal and helical motion and the addition of liquid is effected during this acceleration, and that the acceleration to the velocity of the ring of material to be mixed takes place only following the addition of the liquid.
