Granted: 1912-08-23
Abstract: 25,251. Disdier, E. Nov. 13. Rotary-chamber apparatus; screw conveyers; agitators.-Materials of a sticky and pitchy nature are dried in a rotary drum through which a current of gas circulates. Within the drum, a pair of shafts carrying blades extend longitudinally above the material so that the blades lift the material and project it through the gaseous current. The drum a is driven through a gear-wheel d and pinion e or through rings c, and its ends open into chambers g supporting shafts which carry conveyer screws n and inclined vanes h. A conduit r connects the chambers g to each other and to a fixed drum y in which propelling-blades rotate. An exhausting-fan z is provided. When this fan is connected to the lift side of the drum y and the conduit r is cut off from the right-hand chamber y and 'the left side of the drum y, the gases entering by the supply-pipe u pass through the drum a, the left-hand chamber g, the conduit r, and the drum y, finally leaving by the exhauster. The material is delivered by a distributor m to the screw n and drum a, through which it passes to a transporter q and a distributor p delivering it to the fixed drum y, from which it emerges dried. By re-arranging the connexions, the gas may pass through the drum y in the same direction as the material; in this case, the two drums may be arranged in line. the transporter q and distributor p being suppressed. A cooling-transporter at the exit may pass the material away to be bagged or returned through the apparatus. The fixed drum may be replaced by a rotary drum, a trough, or other apparatus, or may be dispensed with. The blades or vanes b may be arranged in one plane or helically. The two shafts revolve in the same or opposite directions. To prevent material from being carried away by the gas current, the vanes may be arranged to throw the material back, a similar arrangement being applied to the drum y. The chamber g and conduit r may be provided with registers for the admission of air. The cool moist product, when fed into the drum, cools the shafts, which may be hollow and pierced with transverse holes. The screw n may be suppressed, the screw of the hopper m being extended across the chamber g.
