SLURRY DISTRIBUTOR, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING SAME Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B28B19/00 B05C5/02 F16L41/02 F16L43/00 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to the continuous processes for the manufacturing of boards (for example, wallboards) and in particular to an apparatus, system and method for distributing an aqueous gypsum slurry. A slurry distributor contains a feed conduit and a distribution conduit. Wherein the feed conduit comprises an entry segment with a feed inlet and a feed entry outlet in fluid communication therewith. Said entry segment extends along a first feed flow axis. Wherein the feed conduit comprises a shaped duct having a bulb-shaped portion in fluid communication with the feed entry outlet. Feed conduit comprises a transition segment in fluid communication with the bulb portion and extending along a second feed flow axis that is not parallel to the first feed flow axis. Distribution conduit as a whole extends along a longitudinal axis and comprises an entry portion and a distribution outlet in fluid communication with the entry portion that is in fluid communication with the feed inlet of the feed conduit. Said distribution outlet extends a predetermined distance along a transverse axis, which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Said bulb-shaped portion has an area of expansion with a cross-sectional flow area, which is greater than the cross-sectional flow area of the adjacent region upstream of the area of expansion relative to the flow direction from the feed inlet to the distribution outlet of the distribution conduit. Wherein the shaped duct has a convex inner surface located opposite the feed entry outlet of the entry segment.

EFFECT: increased efficiency of slurry distribution.
