(c1. 209-142) In pneumatically transporting granular bulk material such as grains, a considerable weight of air or gases is delivered too, whereby the power required is substantially increased in comparison with mechanical transport means such as elevators or chain conveyors.
According to my present invention, the delivery air blast is utilized in a substantially higher degree than at present in that the delivery, air in transport is used for classifying, grading and assorting the material transported. The kinetic energ inherent to the delivery air, on its path of operation also may be-used, e. g., for centrifugally aligning the material' In order to still further utilize the delivery air, the latter also may be used for the mechanical working of the material.
At present, separate machines are used in grain-grinding mills for assorting, viz. for separating grains or meals from the specifically The means for carrying out the method dis closetlby my present invention, comprise a delivery conduit adapted to assort and, if desired, mechanically treat the material. For the purpose of delivering air of operation, a pressureproducing blower or a suction-producing blower may be disposed at the respective end of the path of transport.
The method according to my present invention shall be more fully explained with the aid of the accompanying drawings, in which various forms of the means for carrying out such method are schematically illustrated. In the drawings:
- Fig. 1 shows a first example using the suction line of a blower,
Fig. 2 shows another example using the pressure line of a blower,
Fig. 3 illustrates, in a larger scale, a separator disposed in the transport line, in section on the line III--III of Fig. 4,
Fig.4 is a top plan view of the separator,
Fig. 5 shows a further example'using the suction line of a blower, I
Fig. 6 a partial side elevation of Fig, 5,
Fig. '7 a longitudinal section through a centrifugal sifter, and
Fig. 8 a section on the line VlII-VIII of Fig. '1.
As shown in Fig. 1, the material to betransported and mechanically treated is introduced through the receiving hopper I into the line 2 and thus brought into the operative path of the transport air aspirated by the blower 6. The line 2 comprises a straight section 2a of particular construction and a plurality of bends 2b which are clad on the inside with a material suited for mechanically treating the material in transport, e. g. a coat of emery or hard cast material. A separator 3 built into the line 2 downstream of the last/bend 2b, serves for sorting the material in transport. The specifically heavier parts produced in the mechanical treatment, are carried along by the air stream across the separator 3 and leave the same through a sluice gate 4. The specifically lighter parts (hull portions and the like) leave the separator through a sluice gate 5.
Fig. 3 shows the construction and mode of operation of separator 3, the air path being indicated by arrows. A slide gate 12 which is adjustable by means of a rod 13, serves for letting the material in transport accumulate at a point A. so as to force the air into a duct M wherein it changes its direction in order to pass upwardly through the material flowing through gate [2, and to transport the specifically lighter parts into the separator passage B. Any heavy parts still entrained in the air blast past the gate [2 are retarded by means of partitions l5 and I6 disposed in said passage 13, and drop into the sluice 4 together with the specifically heavier parts which drop directly from the material passin'gthrough gate l2. The partition I6 is formed as a butterfly valve, by means of which the air current in separator passage B may be throttled and its carrying capacity varied. The specifically lighter parts of the material drop from the separator passage C which is provided with a swing gate [1, into the sluice 5, while the air flowing out through the connection 8 carries off dust and other impurities into a pressure filter (not shown) for example, from which clean air is discharged. As shown in Fig. l, a line 1 at one end is connected at B to the separator 3, and at the other endto the suction blower 6.
In contrast to the arrangement just described, the means shown in Fig. 2 operate with the aid of compressed air. The material to be transported and treated passes from the inlet hopper I through a sluice gate 9 and a line H into the pressure line 2 which comprises a straight section 2a and two bends 2b. The latter on the inside are coated with a material suited for mechanically treating the material in transport, e. g. with an abrasive material of the kind mentioned above in connection with the first form of my invention. The mechanically treated material thenis sorted 3 in a separator 3 as in the first example shown in Fig. 1. After being discharged from separator 3 through a port 8, the dust-laden air may be blown through a pressure filter (not shown).
The delivery line 2 in Figs. 1 and 2, if required, may be provided with one bend 2b only and again, may be provided on the inside with an abrasive coating on its entire length.
In the example shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the material is mechanically treated in a drum II which is provided in the line 2 and possesses an abrasive coat on a portion of theinside surface or on the whole thereof.
ihe example shown in Figs. 7 and 8 is operated however, could be replaced by a forced-draft fan.
The material to be transported and treated is fed through a suction line 2 into a horizontally disposed sifter 25 by way of a tangential inlet connection 2i disposed on one end face of the sifter. The latter is subdivided into three axial zones 01., b and c, the inside wall of each zone on its entire circumference being perforated. The size of the perforations in each zone is different from that in the adjacent zone or zones and corresponds to the size of the particles to be sifted.
In Fig. '7, the size of the perforations increases from left to right so that the zone it serves for fine sifting, the zone I) for intermediary sifting, and the zone c for coarse sifting. From the zone 0, of sifter 29, the material is carried through a tangential outlet 22 disposed on the other end face of drum into a section I which is connected to the induced-draft blower.
The zones a-c of sifter 20 are enclosed in a casing 23 which by means of partitions 24 is subdivided into three annular chambers 25 of which the lower portions open into conical outlets 25 which terminate in a sluice gate 27 each. The casing 23 is closed against the atmosphere, and comprises an aperture 28 for each zone a-c. The said apertures are adjustable by means of a slide 29 each.
The mode of operation of the arrangement de scribed is as follows, it being assumed that the apertures 28 are closed entirely:
The material carried in the induced... draft passes through the inlet 2| tangentially into the sifter 20. Under the influence of the centrifugal forces engaging the particles of the material by reason of the arising whirl, the said particles are thrown against the wall of sifter 2G. The material on passing through the latter thus is successively sifted as regards to the fine, intermediate, and coarse particles, and the particles are not smashed or damaged through movable mechanical parts such as beaters'or brushes. The separated fractions of the material pass through the perforated walls of the sifter zones a-c into the respective annular chambers 25 of casing 23 and, thus, may be discharged from the path of transport through the sluice gates 21. The transporting air, freed of material, is conducted to the suction side of the blower through the outlet 22 and may be exhausted to the atmospherae. g. after having passed through a pressure filter. When the material has not been entirely separated in the sifter, the residual is discharged together with the air from the sifter and may be separated on its way, i. e. by means of a separator disposed in line I. v
When the apertures 28 in casin 23 are opened, outside air is sucked into the various zones, since there is a subpressure in sifter 20. The amount of air entering through the apertures 28 may be regulated by means of the slides 29. The current produced by the air entering the annular chambers 25 is directed approximately radially inwards and opposes the centrifugal forces acting onto the particles. Only the particles having a kinetic energy greater'than that of the incoming air stream, will therefore pass through the perforated walls of the zones 01-0 of sifter 20. The material thus not only is sifted as to the size, but also as to the specific gravity of its particles, and such sifting effect is regulable by varying the amount of air entering into the various sifter zones through the apertures 28, by means of the slides 29.
The sifter 20 may be made of perforated sheet iron, wire mesh, or filter cloth, according to the kind of material to be sifted.
According to the method described, the two different operations provided for treating the material are performed consecutively in one run. Special machines separated from the path of transport, as used in prior art for treating the material, which machines require much space thus are eliminated. The treatment of the material according to the method disclosed in the foregoing specification, requires less time of operation, and the arrangement according to my present invention requires less space than the prior-art methods and arrangements, and my invention more fully utilizes the energy of the transporting air and, thus, increases the economy of pneumatic transport.
