  • Patent number: 8961658
    Abstract: A mist/dust collector includes a tank body, a recovery tank having a demister member, a spraying unit spraying water or coolant fluid from a nozzle, an impeller mounted on a main shaft located in the tank body, so as to be rotatable by air flow, a disc rotary brush and a shaking-off member mounted on the shaft. A suction unit is actuated to draw air containing mist and dust into the tank body interior maintained in a negative pressure state. The impeller is rotated by collision of water or coolant fluid at a predetermined pressure, and the rotary brush and the shaking-off member are rotated simultaneously with the impeller, so that mist and dust are separated from air by a centrifugal action of the rotary brush and the shaking-off member. Mist and dust remaining in the air flowing into the recovery tank are collected by the demister member.

  • Patent number: 8459974
    Abstract: A six-blade biaxial rotary positive-displacement pump includes a casing formed with a suction port and a discharge port, a pair of rotors accommodated in the casing and having rotor shafts rotatably mounted on housings fixed to opposed ends of the casing, respectively. Each rotor is formed with six blades extending radially equiangularly about the rotor shaft. Each blade is formed so as to have a constant thickness in a rotational direction of each rotor. Each blade has an apex and a valley, and a distance between the apex and the valley is set so as to range from three to five times larger than the thickness of each blade.

  • Patent number: 8292269
    Abstract: A microscopic bubble generating apparatus includes a Roots-type pump including a pair of multi-lobed Roots rotors housed in a pump casing, and a drive motor rotating the rotors, a suction pipe connected to a suction port of the pump casing, a discharge pipe connected to a discharge port of the pump casing, and a conduit communicating with the suction pipe and having an air inlet and a collision member with which sucked water is caused to collide. The pump is operated to suck water through the suction pipe and to cause the water mixed with air sucked through the air inlet to collide with the collision member so that a number of bubbles are generated. The bubbles are refined by a compressing action of the pump to be rendered microscopic. The water containing the microscopic bubbles is released from the discharge pipe into water in a septic tank or river.
