CAROUSEL CONVEYOR Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; equipment for separation of magnetic particles from fine-grained materials containing nonmagnetic particles. SUBSTANCE: proposed conveyor has working members with magnetic rings. Conveyor consists of sections arranged one over the other, connected by transfer points of separated material and including, each corresponding magnetic ring resting at edges on drive disk with provision of clearance relative to cells below. Cells have hollow chambers connected with working medium source, and radially oriented vibratory drives with half-period alternating phase shifts. Chambers are made at side of upper planes from nonmagnetic material, and at side of lower plane, from microporous material permeable to working medium. Shelves tilted towards material collectors are fixed and arranged with clearance under hollow chambers. Material collectors communicate through channels with accumulating pipelines located in center of sectional and with breathing system. Accumulating pipelines are used to gather separated material. Magnetic ring of each section is made solid. EFFECT: increased efficiency in operation. 3 dwg
