Abstract:
A feeding arrangement for feeding lignocellulosic biomass material such as annual plant material towards a hydrolysis process includes at least one transportation device for transporting the biomass material towards the treatment process; and at least one tearing roll arranged at a predetermined distance from the at least one transportation device and being provided with tearing protrusion. The at least one tearing roll is arranged with a predetermined distance to the at least one transportation device to tear off parts of the transported material to provide a substantially continuous flow of material.

Claim (Index 1):
A feeding arrangement for feeding lignocellulosic biomass material towards a hydrolysis or pre-hydrolysis process, the feeding arrangement comprising:\n at least one transportation device for transporting the biomass material towards the hydrolysis or pre-hydrolysis process; at least one tearing roll arranged at a predetermined distance from the at least one transportation device and being provided with tearing protrusions, the at least one tearing roll being arranged with a predetermined distance to the at least one transportation device to tear off parts of the transported material; and a housing provided with an upper inlet opening for receiving the biomass material and a lower outlet opening for discharging the biomass material, wherein the at least one transportation device includes a first and a second revolving drum arranged in the housing, the first drum revolving in a first rotational direction and the second drum revolving in a second rotational direction for transporting the biomass material, wherein the first and second drums are provided with protrusions and wherein the first and second drums are arranged to co-rotate with respect to each other; wherein the at least one tearing roll is arranged in the housing below the first and second drums seen in a feeding direction of the biomass material, wherein the at least one tearing roll is arranged to tear off parts of the material transported by the first and second drum in order to transport the material to the outlet opening, and wherein a radius of the tearing roll is smaller than the radius of the first drum and the radius of the second drum.
