Abstract
An agitator assembly, in particular for mixing, granulating and drying solid matter, includes a vessel; and an agitator received in the vessel and having at least one sweep blade, with the sweep blade ascending from an inner zone of the vessel to an outer zone thereof at an angle of inclination ranging from about 15° to 60° with respect to the horizontal.
Claims31
An agitator assembly, comprising a vessel;
- and an agitator received in the vessel and having at least one sweep blade, said sweep blade ascending from an inner zone of the vessel to an outer zone thereof at an angle of inclination ranging from about 15° to 60° with respect to a horizontal, wherein the sweep blade has inner and outer ends, said sweep blade defined by a width which is at a minimum at the inner end and at a maximum at the outer end.
An agitator assembly, comprising agitating means for mixing, granulating and drying solids in a vessel, said agitating means having at least two sweep blades arranged in substantial opposite relationship and so received in the vessel as to ascend at an angle of inclination ranging from about 15° to 60° with respect to a horizontal, wherein the agitating means includes a bottom blade intended for clearing a bottom of the vessel, and wherein at least one of the sweep blades configured for attachment of said bottom blade to a lower end of the at least one sweep blade.
An agitator assembly, comprising a vessel;
- and an agitator received in the vessel and having at least one sweep blade, said sweep blade ascending from an inner zone of the vessel to an outer zone thereof at an angle of inclination ranging from about 15° to 60° with respect to a horizontal, and further comprising a bottom blade intended for clearing a bottom of the vessel, said bottom blade connected to the at least one sweep blade to a lower end thereof.
An agitator assembly, comprising a vessel;
- and an agitator received in the vessel and having at least one sweep blade, said sweep blade ascending from an inner zone of the vessel to an outer zone thereof at an angle of inclination ranging from about 15° to 60° with respect to a horizontal and further comprising at least one motor-driven crusher mounted above the sweep blade and having one end carrying a plurality of knives, wherein the crusher is configured for a circumferential speed of greater than 15 m/sec.
An agitator assembly, comprising:
- a vessel;
- and
- an agitator received in the vessel and having at least one sweep blade, said sweep blade ascending from an inner zone of the vessel to an outer zone thereof at an angle of inclination ranging from about 15° to 60° with respect to a horizontal, and
- a bottom blade intended for clearing a bottom of the vessel, the at least one sweep blade configured for attachment of said bottom blade to a lower end of the at least one sweep blade, and wherein the agitator has a side blade secured to an upper outer end of the sweep blade.
