Latest Patents
Hederer's most recent patent is titled "Process and device for conditioning bulk material." This invention addresses the conditioning of bulk materials containing vaporizable ingredients, such as lignite, hard coal, peat, waste wood, clarifier sludge, waste sludge, contaminated earth, catalysts, zeolites, and filter cake. The process utilizes a vibrating plate conveyor divided into heating and drying sections, employing an indirect heat exchange method. The bulk material is heated in an enclosed heating section while vapor is withdrawn. In the downstream drying section, vaporizable fractions are further reduced with the aid of indirectly supplied heat, and the vapor is also withdrawn. The invention allows for the separation of the bulk material into coarse and fine fractions, with fines being recycled and remixed with coarser fractions that have a higher water content. This innovative approach significantly enhances the conditioning of bulk materials with a wide grain size distribution.
