Abstract: 735,004. Washing granular material. STAMICARBON N.V., [formerly MAATSCHAPPIJ VOOR KOLENBEWERKING STAMICARBON N.V.]. Oct. 12, 1953 [Oct. 14, 1952], No. 28079/53. Class 82 (2). [Also in Group XXIX] Upward current separating apparatus for separating mixtures of particles into fractions according to specific gravity and/or grain size has an overflow weir to'which is connected a dip pipe of a pneumatic control system, through which pipe air is passed into the liquid separating medium so that the pressure in the pipe air line changes with change in the height of the overflow, the said system incorporating a diaphragm control with a pressure chamber with which the said air-line communicates and being adapted to operate so that any change in pressure results in automatic compensatory movement of the weir and the connected dippipe so that the desired height of the overflow is maintained. The upward current is maintained in a riser 2 by means of a pump 3 and discharges over a weir 5. The rest of the sink and float apparatus is conventional. The weir 5 (see Fig. 2) has a dip tube 7 attached and air is allowed to escape from the latter, the air supply being at 9, and a " tell-tale " 8 shows that air is flowing. The pressure of this air, which depends on the immersed depth of the tube 7, actuates a spring-diaphragm 15 the motion of which varies the relative position of a fixed nozzle 18 and a plate 17. The variation in the amount of air escaping from this nozzle in turn varies the pressure in a capsule 22 and the ensuing motion of the diaphragm 24 is applied to the arm 26 to restore height h of discharge over the weir by moving the weir and connected tube 7. The first diaphragm 15 may control the arm without the intervention of the power amplifying systems 18, 24.
