APPARATUS FOR TRANSPORTATION OF FIBER-AIR MIXTURE Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: textile industry, in particular, equipment for transporting different fibrous materials of non-homogeneous structure. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has casing including rotor equipped with blades. Supplying ejector branch pipes are fixed on both sides of casing. Regulated air suction slot is formed in lower part of casing. Concave rotating blade is mounted above said slot and plate adjustable in two planes is mounted below slot. Apparatus of such construction allows fiber- air mixture to be transported without damage to fibers and without sorting thereof and also enables uniform mixing of its components. Moreover, intensified swirling in dead zones owing to accelerated air flows generated during sucking of air from the outside is eliminated and fiber and air flow friction against walls of apparatus is reduced. EFFECT: increased efficiency and reduced consumption of power for transportation. 2 dwg
