Abstract
A reactor for highly viscous media with a horizontally oriented reactor casing having an inlet and an outlet in which a cage-like rotor is mounted in a rotary manner by means of stub shafts. To the cage-like rotor are fixed elements, e.g., rings, which are immersed in and thoroughly mix the media. A stripping rotor is provided coaxially with the cage-like rotor. Both rotors rotate within one another and mix and deliver the media and thereby form free surfaces. In addition, they also clean one another through a scraping action.
Claims13
A reactor for a viscous medium comprising:
- a horizontally oriented reactor casing with an inlet and an outlet;
- first rotor means rotatably mounted in the reactor casing for thoroughly mixing, during rotation, the viscous medium entraining part of the medium in the rotation direction and forming free surface through the draining and dripping off of the medium from the first rotor means;
- second rotor means, rotatably mounted in the reactor casing coaxially with respect to the first rotor means, for removing medium adhering to the first rotor means and forming a free central working area within the first and second rotor means;
- and
- at least one of the first and second rotor means having conveying means formed thereon for conveying the medium from the inlet to the outlet, the one of the first and second rotor means rotating within the other of the first and second rotor means.

A reactor for a viscous medium comprising:
- a horizontally oriented reactor casing with an inlet and an outlet spaced apart in the reactor casing;
- first rotor means, rotatably mounted in the reactor casing, for thoroughly mixing, during rotation, the viscous medium entraining part of the medium in the rotation direction and forming free surfaces through the draining and dripping off of the medium from the first rotor means;
- the first rotor means comprising a cage including a plurality of spaced, circular disks connected together by spaced longitudinal scraping strips;
- second rotor means, rotatably mounted in the reactor casing coaxially with and rotating within the first rotor means, for removing medium adhering to the first rotor means and for forming a free central working area within the first and second rotor means;
- the second rotor means including successively arranged, spaced rings interconnected by stripping elements, the stripping elements having exterior surfaces disposed at a predetermined distance with the first rotor means for scraping medium from the first rotor means;
- and
- at least one of the first and second rotor means having conveying means formed thereon for conveying the medium from the inlet to the outlet.
