Abstract
There is disclosed a pulverizing assembly having paired interconnecting cylindrical chambers wherein each chamber is provided with a rotatable shaft having a plurality of discs mounted thereon and wherein each disc is provided with a plurality of arcuately-shaped shoe members mounted in abutting relationship about the periphery of each disc member to facilitate the stage wise circulation of a slurry introduced into the assembly and to induce particle collision of the solids contained in the slurry so as to reduce the size of the particulate solids before exiting the assembly.
Claims12
A pulverizing assembly for producing finely ground material, comprising:
- a tank member formed by interconnected cylindrical chambers in fluid communication and in overlapping relation along the length thereof, said tank member having a conduit for receiving material to be processed and a conduit for processed material discharge;
- a shaft mounted for rotation in each cylindrical chamber and parallelly-disposed to one another;
- means for rotating said shafts;
- a plurality of disc members mounted in spaced-apart relationship on each shaft, each disc member comprised of a disc mounted on each shaft and having a plurality of arcuately-shaped shoe members mounted in abutting relationship about a periphery of said disc of said disc member, means on said shoe members for accelerating material to be processed within said tank member.
A shoe member for mounting on a disc member of a pulverizing assembly for producing finely ground material, said shoe member comprising an arcuately-shaped circumferential outer surface having parallel leg members depending from the edges thereof in spaced apart relationship defining a channel for slidably mounting in abutting relationship with identical shoe members about the periphery of a disc member wherein the outer side surfaces of said leg members are formed with outwardly extending curvilinearly-shaped vanes, said vanes having a convexly-shaped leading surface in a direction of rotation of said disc member.
