Abstract: A roll mill for a milling-dispersing treatment has a fixed roll fixed to a frame, and a transfer roll displaceable into and out of contact with the fixed roll in a direction perpendicular to the fixed roll by a servomotor and a ball screw. A laser sensor disposed between the fixed roll and the transfer roll measures the distance between the rolls, and a load sensor measures a pressing force between the rolls. An electronic automatic control device maintains a constant distance and a constant pressing force between the fixed roll and the transfer roll by feedback of detection signals sent from the respective sensors, wherein the servomotor is driven by the electronic automatic control device to adjust the position of the transfer roll.

Abstract: A device for processing feedstock is provided that includes a rotor rotating around an axis in a housing, which houses processing tools, and has stator tools that are stationary with respect to the housing, which, by maintaining a working clearance, the rotor side processing tools are arranged opposite to the stator tools and interact with the stator tools to process the feedstock. The device also includes a resetting device for displacing the stator tools in a radial direction to set the working clearance. The resetting device for the stator tools include at least one tilted support surface, which directly or indirectly forms a contact surface for the stator tools. Whereby, the support surface is slideable with respect to the stator tools in order to adjust the working clearance.

Abstract: A recycling machine is provided which compacts containers using a multi-purpose compacting system which includes a roller assembly having a roller configured to draw containers through an adjustable container-receiving throat. The compacting system also includes a base plate assembly with a movable base plate which at least partially defines the throat, the base plate being mounted for movement between a first orientation wherein the base plate is a first predetermined distance from the roller so as to define an open container-receiving throat, and a second orientation wherein the base plate is a second lesser predetermined distance from the roller so as to close the container-receiving throat. The throat typically is closed as the container passes between the roller and the base plate so as to compact the container therebetween.

Abstract: High-shear treated materials are passed through a high-shear treatment zone which allows the coexistence of free supra-Kolmogoroff eddies larger than the smallest possible Kolmogoroff eddy diameter and forced sub-Kolmogoroff eddies smaller than this diameter. This zone includes a subsidiary higher-shear zone for suppressing these free eddies. The passage walls (40, 44, 102, 108) move relative to one another transverse to the flow to force the simultaneous development of supra-Kolmogoroff and sub-Kolmogoroff eddies while maintaining liquid films adherent to the passage surfaces. The movement produces only forced sub-Kolmogoroff eddies in the subsidiary zone while maintaining a non-turbulent flow. Ultrasonic oscillations (52) may be applied to cause elastohydrodynamic pressure and viscosity increases and/or production of smaller sub-Kolmogoroff eddies.

Abstract: An apparatus for breaking solid objects includes a box-shaped support (6) open at the top and at the bottom, a substantially horizontal rotor (6) mounted in the box and carrying at least one knife which turns with it while passing between backing knives, an active face of which is turned toward the rotor, and preferably has teeth, the backing knives being movable independently of each other and having their own return means, for example by oscillating the backing knives on a pivot parallel to the rotor. The knives may be set in forced oscillation, and may be individually removable.

Abstract: The method for treating materials in liquids involves passing them with the liquid through a processing gap formed by a flow passage whose walls are closely spaced and move relative to one another transversely to the direction of flow, thereby producing "supra-kolmogoroff" mixing eddies in the gap, and at the same time applying ultrasonic longitudinal pressure oscillations that reverberate between the two closely spaced surfaces into the gap transversely to the direction of flow from transducers mounted on one wall, thereby producing "sub-Kolmogoroff" mixing eddies therein. The method is capable of rapidly producing relatively thick slurries of sub-micrometer particles that otherwise can take several days in conventional high shear mixers and ball or sand mills, or of rapidly dissolving difficultly soluble gases and powders into liquids.

Abstract: Compositions in accordance with the invention comprise a polymer and flake reinforcing material distributed throughout the polymer in an effective amount to structurally reinforce the polymer. Individual flakes of the flake material a) are less than or equal to 1,000 Angstroms in thickness, b) have an aspect ratio greater than or equal to 100, and c) are preferably significantly randomly oriented throughout the polymer. A novel apparatus for shear grinding a platy solid material into such individual flakes comprises a cylindrical shearing drum and a shear grinder received therein. The shearing drum has a longitudinal axis and an internal surface formed about a first predetermined radius of curvature. The cylindrical drum is supported for rotation about its longitudinal axis. The shear grinder has an external surface formed about a second predetermined radius of curvature. The second radius of curvature is slightly less than the first radius of curvature.

Abstract: The dosage granulator comprises a feed hopper receiving reclaimed asphalt to be granulated. Under the lower opening of the feed hopper, a tearing up device is situated which is controlled by a conveyor type weigher mounted thereunder. The tearing up device comprises tearing rollers with knives, gratings, and a plurality of pressure arms reciprocating through the spaces of the gratings to press the material downwards. The tearing rollers rotate to drive the material towards the gratings, where it is cut by the knives in co-operation with said gratings. The dosage granulator may comprise a reciprocating stirrer situated between the tearing rollers. Reclaimed asphalt of a size of up to 30 cm may thereby be cut into granules of 5 cm. The amount of granulated material is adjusted by means of the conveyor tape weigher.

Abstract: Apparatus for crushing fragments of mineral material comprises a rotary crusher mounted above, and co-operating with, a scraper-chain conveyor. The rotary crusher has a cylindrical body provided with a plurality of first, second and third rows of chisels. The chisels are detachably mounted in holders fixed to the cylindrical body. The chisels are all the same, but the holders are of different sizes so that the chisels of a first set have a longer radial reach than the chisels of second set, which in turn have a longer radial reach than the chisels of a third set. Each first row has chisels of the first and second sets, and each of the second and third rows has chisels of the third set. The provision of the chisels of the first and second sets having longer radial reaches enables the mineral material to be drawn into the crushing gap between the rotary crusher and the scraper-chain conveyor and broken up more efficiently.
