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

Claim 0:
1. A pulverizer comprising:
a housing having top and bottom ends, the housing further having an inlet located towards the top end for receiving input material to comminute and an outlet located towards the bottom end for discharging pulverized input material from the housing, the housing including a housing sidewall having an inner surface extending between the top and bottom ends and defining an interior chamber, the housing having a central housing axis;
a rotatable shaft extending between the top end and the bottom end of the housing along the central housing axis;
at least two rotor assemblies coupled to the rotatable shaft and spaced apart along a length of the rotatable shaft, each of the at least two rotor assemblies comprising at least one rotor arm extending outwardly from the rotatable shaft towards the housing sidewall for forming an airflow revolving about the central housing axis within the interior chamber when the rotatable shaft is rotated; and
at least one airflow deflector extending inwardly into the interior chamber from the housing sidewall, the at least one airflow deflector cooperating with the at least one rotor arm to deflect the airflow generated by the at least one rotor arm 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 the at least one airflow deflector extends continuously from the top end to the bottom end, wherein the top end is positioned above an upper rotor of the at least two rotor assemblies and the bottom end is positioned below a lower rotor of the at least two rotor assemblies.
