Abstract:
1. An apparatus for processing at least two media, the processing comprising fluffing and mixing, the apparatus comprising: a casing having at least one inlet for a first medium, rotating means inside the casing, said rotating means comprising protrusions, wherein said protrusions comprise processing elements, and said rotating means generating mixing zones while being rotated, at least one inlet for feeding a second medium to said mixing zones, channels being located in said rotating means for dosing/injecting said second medium into said mixing zones, at least one outlet for said first medium after being mixed with said second medium, wherein said inlet for said first medium is adapted to advance the first medium towards the rotating means in a direction being parallel to or substantially parallel to a radius of the rotating means, wherein: said rotating means comprises a series of alternatingly stacked discs and spacers, in that each spacer comprises a number of radially extending cut-outs initiating at an inner rim and extending towards, but not to, an outer rim, in that each disc comprises a number of radially extending cutouts, said number being equal to the number of radially extending cut-outs of each spacer, initiating at a radial position and extending away from the inner rim and to the outer rim of the discs, and in that the spacers and discs are stacked so that the end of the cut-outs of the spacers are located below the beginning of the cut-outs of the discs, so that the channels are formed extending from the inner rim of the spacers to the outer rim of the discs.
