Latest Patents
Neumann holds a patent for a "Curved Blade Mixing Device." The aim of this invention is to enhance an existing mixing device by increasing the retention time for a predetermined reactor length. This design ensures that the material being processed is transported at a consistent speed, regardless of its radial distance from the rotational axis. The invention features at least one row of blades on each shaft, with each row comprising at least two individual blades. These blades are fixed to the shaft at an incidence angle α in relation to the longitudinal axis. The unique curvature of the blades allows for an angle of incidence α at the fixing point and an angle of incidence β on the outer diameter. This innovative approach replaces a continuous screw with individual blades, resulting in efficient mixing of charging material and coke. The design also equalizes the axial speed of the particles across the reactor's cross-section, facilitating a stop-type flow.
