Installation for the treatment of sludges

Номер: US20120017461A1
Автор: Loïc Darcel
Принадлежит: AQUALTER

In a sludge treatment installation, a movable carriage is arranged transversely above a work surface of a floor. The movement of the carriage by longitudinal translation over the floor is initiated by a first drive shaft carrying a toothed wheel meshing with a drive chain. A second chain helps to guide the carriage. On the carriage is provided a rotary turning tool which engages in the sludge. Driven in rotation by a second drive shaft independent of the first, it includes pairs of semi-cylindrical paddles fixed substantially symmetrically by one of their edges on either side of a shaft driven by the second drive shaft. The two paddles in each pair of paddles are asymmetrical as a result of having different radii, with a difference at least equal to about 5%. Forced ventilation acts directly on the paddles.

Tower grain dryer

Номер: US20120311883A1
Автор: Steven G. Smith
Принадлежит: Individual

A rotatable grain tower mounted on a stationary base. The base includes an opening for the removal of grain from a grain plenum in the tower. As the tower is rotated, a metering device adjacent the opening meters the rate of grain exiting the plenum. The rotating tower alleviates uneven drying due to sun, wind and other conditions to more evenly dry grain in the plenum. A cleaning device may be positioned adjacent the tower to clean the plenum as the tower rotates, thereby eliminating catwalks and other expensive equipment and devices used for cleaning stationary towers.

The present invention proposes a drying tower with grain flow in parallel and sinuous in combination with reverse and radial crossed air flows in form of “Z” oblique for the implementation in the drying of grains, seeds, fodder, and fruit. Therefore, the grains are firstly submitted to a first stage of parallel grains flow and reverse crossed air flow in order to standardize the different degrees of humidity of the grains and of their impurities. In a second moment, these grains are submitted to a sinuous grains flow and radial air flow in the form of oblique “Z”.
