Volatilles capture eductor system

A volatiles consuming eductor system for coated scrap metal furnaces with separate delacquering and melt chambers. Motive gas is forced through an inlet into a mixing chamber in a direction opposite a suction port, creating a Venturi that draws gases from the delaquering chamber through the mixing chamber. The motive gas and the drawn gases mix and are forced through a discharge port, ignited, and injected into the melt chamber to help heat the melt chamber. A computer monitors process conditions and controls a regulator that adjusts the motive gas flow in response to those conditions.

Anlage und Verfahren zur quasi-kontinuierlichen Behandlung eines teilchenförmigen Gutes

Die erfindungsgemässe Multicellanlage (1) ist für den chargenweisen und insbesondere quasi-kontinuierlichen Betrieb, also für die kontinuierliche Bearbeitung von rasch aufeinanderfolgenden Chargen, geeignet. So zum Beispiel zur Herstellung von gut fliessfähigen Granulaten, welche zur Abfüllung in Kapseln, Sachets geeignet sind. Die Anlage (1) stellt insbesondere ein multifunktionales System dar, das die Verfahrensschritte Chargenvorlage (2), Dosierung (3), Mischung/Granulierung(4), Trocknung (5), Produktkühlung und Produktsammlung (6, 7) in einer sehr kompakten Bauweise miteinander kombiniert. Die einzelnen Chargen werden innerhalb der Anlage durch einen hermetisch nach aussen abgeschlossenen Produktweg geführt, in dem allenfalls noch zusätzlich und mindestens in Teilabschnitten ein gegenüber dem Umgebungsdruck erniedrigter Innendruck herrscht. Dies ermöglicht zusammen mit den an einer zentralen Reinigungsanlage angeschlossenen Reinigungsdüsen (30) einen kontaminationsfreien Betrieb sowohl mit wässrigen als auch mit organischen Ausgangsprodukten. <IMAGE>

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COATING OR MIXING GRANULAR PRODUCTS, NECESSALLY GROUNDNUTS, WITH A SUBSTANCE

Mixing device for fibres or chips and a binder

The invention relates to a mixing device for continuously mixing fibres or chips with a binder for the production of fibre- or chipboards, wherein the mixing device has at least one mixing chamber (1) supported by a framework (15, 6, 17), as well as multiple mixing or conveying tools (3, 8, 9, 10) secured on a rotatable mixer shaft (2) therein. In order to create a mixing device for fibres and glues which is more maintenance friendly with the use of glues that cure at higher temperatures, according to the invention, cooling channels (26) formed of semi-finished products and having at least one coolant inlet (28) and a coolant outlet (29) are attached to the outer upper surface of the mixing chamber (1).

In order to create a mixing device which is easier to maintain and to adapt to different process parameters, according to the invention, the mixer shaft (2) has partially covered grooves (20) in which moveable sliding blocks (21) are arranged which can be connected to a mixing or conveying tool (3, 8, 9, 10).

Apparatus for marinating meat products

A vacuum meat marinating machine for products requiring a short vacuum massage cycle, comprising a substantially horizontal cylindrical vessel having a large opening at the top for rapid loading of product, said opening covered by a sealed vacuum cover during operation, and further having a hollow outer wall comprising a jacket for the circulation of liquid refrigerant. A paddle agitator is located within the vessel, having a hollow shaft running longitudinally within the vessel. Affixed at an angle to the shaft are a plurality of hollow triangular-shaped paddles, which paddles push product horizontally during operation. Liquid refrigerant circulates through the hollow wall of the vessel, as well as the hollow agitator shaft and paddles. The agitator shaft is connected to a reversible motor that periodically reverses the direction of rotation, thereby maximizing heat exchange between product and liquid refrigerant.
