Mechanism for granulometric distribution of solid particles

Mechanism for granulometric distribution of solid particles which is specially designed to provide the loading of such solid particles into large dimension vessels starting from equipment of small dimensions in relation to said vessels;

• the mechanism being characterized in that:
• means (3) having an outlet opening (8) operable to be variably positioned relative to said mechanism for corresponding introducing disaggregated solid particles into said mechanism;
• means, constituted of a plurality of inclined concentric surfaces (10, 12) positioned under said outlet opening (8) of said introducing means (3), for providing for a free flowiing of said disaggregted solid particles along a plurality of generally downwardly directed paths from the region location;
• and
• means comprising a plurality of concentric closed lines of fixedly positioned downwardly inclined tubes (13) positioned under the region where said inclined surfaces are located, for conducting said disaggreated solid particles away from said lower location, with reach of said lines of tubes communicating with a respective one of the flow paths defined by said inclined surfaces, and said tubes being provided with a symmetric arrangement of their lower extremities (13a) in the region where said tubes open to the interior of the associated vessel (15);
• said inclined surfaces (10, 12) and said descending tubes (13) being constructed and arranged such that, during the loading operation, said disaggregated solid particles form a continuous bed from the location (19) where they fall from said introducing means (3) to the location where they leave said descending tubes (13) and accumulate in the interior of the associated vessel (15).
