REDISTRIBUTOR OF LOOSE MATERIAL FLOW PRIMARILY OF GRAIN Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural machinery and implements. SUBSTANCE: redistributor is intended for use in vertical-type drying plants having chambers of rectangular and round cross-section. Flow redistributor has gable-type aprons installed in vertical drying chamber at first level, crossing and vertical passages at second level with openings for inlet and outlet of loose material which are formed by inner and outer walls of chamber. At first level they are formed by first and second longitudinal vertical partitions and gable-type aprons. At second level they are created by lateral vertical partitions, inclined and vertical strips. First and second longitudinal vertical partitions divide lateral cross-section of chamber into three zones. In this case, installed at first level in each zone in alternating order are gable-type aprons. Installed at second level are lateral vertical partitions extending from inner wall to outer wall of chamber. Inclined strips at second level are extended to beginning of extreme opposite zone thus creating crossing passages, and vertical strips create vertical passages. Installed at third level are two longitudinal vertical partitions. Aforesaid embodiment of flow distributor improves grain drying efficiency. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 6 dwg
