Abstract
A material enrobing apparatus includes an elongated enrobing chamber, a material inlet adapted to receive material to be treated into the enrobing chamber, a material outlet adapted to deliver material from the enrobing chamber, and suspension means for creating and maintaining a circulating suspending flow of fluid within the enrobing chamber in a direction circumferential to the axis of the enrobing chamber. The fluid is adapted to suspend material in the enrobing chamber while the material is submitted to a treatment operation. The enrobing chamber includes an opening extending in a direction generally parallel to the axis along substantially the entire length of the enrobing chamber. The opening permits access to the enrobing chamber from outside the apparatus during operation thereof.
