Patent ID: 11958054
Assignee: TORXX KINETIC PULVERIZER LIMITED
Field: Chemical engineering (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 23:
24. A method for pulverizing an input material, the method comprising:
providing the input material into a housing of a pulverizer through a top end of the housing;
generating a circular airflow within an interior chamber about a central housing axis of the housing;
deflecting the airflow generated by the airflow generator so as to form at least two vortices within the interior chamber, wherein adjacent ones of the at least two vortices overlap such that input material particles in suspension in the adjacent ones of the at least two vortices collide with each other to be thereby pulverized;
wherein generating the circular airflow includes rotating a pulverizing rotor assembly including a rotatable shaft extending along the central housing axis and at least one rotor arm extending outwardly from the shaft towards a sidewall of the housing;
wherein deflecting the airflow generated by the airflow generator is performed using at least one airflow deflector extending inwardly into the interior chamber from the sidewall to an apex spaced inwardly from the sidewall, wherein the at least one airflow deflector extends continuously from the top end to a bottom end; and
wherein the apex of the at least one airflow deflector is spaced apart from a tip of the at least one rotor arm by a clearance space to form the at least two vortices.
