He has made significant contributions to the field of engineering, particularly in the development of advanced spraying and filtration technologies. With a total of 3 patents, his work has garnered attention for its innovative approaches to solving complex problems.
Latest Patents
Egli's latest patents include a "Process and apparatus for the superfine spraying of suspensions." This invention addresses the challenges of suspensions that tend to form films and resinificate upon contact with air. An example of such suspensions is those used for spraying high-temperature lubricants formulated on a graphite basis with additions of alkylene polymerizates to a dispersion agent. The apparatus features a spray head with a nozzle opening, a die that can be pushed through the nozzle opening, and a sieve insert. The suspension is sprayed in a finely distributed form through an air atomizer nozzle using a pressure gas that is oversaturated or saturated with a liquid.
Another significant patent is the "Rotary filter," which is designed for the continuous separation of coarse particles from a suspension. This rotary filter includes an upper part with a cylindrical filter basket disposed centrally in a cylindrical jacket. A chamber for the filtered material is formed by the space between the cylindrical jacket and the filter jacket of the filter basket. The design incorporates at least one centrally-located rotatable scraper that is continuously forced against the filter jacket by a compression spring. The lower part of the rotary filter includes a sump chamber with at least one rotatable stirring sheet, ensuring efficient separation of materials.
