LIQUID MATERIAL GRANULATING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: equipment for producing granules from liquid materials. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has rotating housing with perforated side wall divided into sections arranged in tiers. Perforations in sections are arranged in annular rows so that centers of perforations are positioned in apexes of equilateral triangles, with two apexes of each triangle being arranged along one annular row of perforations. Such arrangement of perforations reduces repeated flow of liquid material due to absence of conditions for flow intersections. Apparatus is used for granulating liquid materials by spraying with following cooling of drops until hardening. EFFECT: increased efficiency and improved quality of ready product. 1 dwg
