Abstract
A device for treating particulate product has a process chamber for receiving and treating the product. A bottom of the process chamber is constructed from substantially plane baffle plates overlapping each other with slots formed between said overlapping plates. Process air can be introduced into the process chamber via said slots between said plates with a substantially horizontal component of motion. Said baffle plates and the resulting slots are arranged in such a way that two opposite flows of incoming process air are produced. Said two opposite flows are directed along a substantially horizontal path and meet along a breaking-up zone and are then deflected to form an upwardly directed, substantially vertical flow.
Claims14
A device for treating particulate product having
- a process chamber for receiving and treating a particulate product, said process chamber having a circular bottom being constructed from baffle plates overlapping each other in a manner that slots are formed between said overlapping baffle plates through which slots process air can be introduced into said process chamber with a substantially horizontal component of motion, and means for creating two substantially horizontal flows of incoming process air opposing one another and for creating a breaking-up zone along a diameter of said circular bottom,
- said means comprising an arrangement of said overlapping baffle plates in that a first horizontal flow is created directed towards said breaking-up zone along said diameter and a second horizontal flow is created directed towards said breaking-up zone along said diameter, said second horizontal flow opposing said first horizontal flow, said two opposing flows meeting at said breaking-up zone along said diameter for forming an upwardly-directed substantially vertical flow.
