SLUICE FEEDER Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B65G53/46 

FIELD: machine engineering.

SUBSTANCE: sluice feeder is intended for use in the field of pneumatic transport for supplying loose materials into pressure material line in chemical, food-processing in other industries, in construction, in agricultural production as a feeding device of delivery pneumatic transport unit for bulk materials. In the upper part of the cylindrical body there is a receiving branch pipe, and the lower part comprises a mixing chute with branch pipes for supplying air and releasing the air mixture. A cellular rotor supported for rotation on the bearings located in the side covers is inserted into the body. In the plane which is perpendicular to rotor axis, the intake branch pipe and the mixing chute are separated by transversal partitions into n isolated sections. The cellular rotor is divided by transversal partitions into n isolated compartments coinciding with sections of the intake branch pipe and the mixing chute. Each section of the feeding branch pipe is equipped with a separate flange, and each section of the mixing chute forming a separate air chamber is provided branch pipes for supplying air and releasing the air mixture.

EFFECT: invention provides simultaneous dosing of several materials, feeding each of them into the area of increased pressure, production of separate air mixtures by preparing them for further separate transportation.
