Abstract: A double separator for sorting particulate material, e.g. raw materials of cement or cement clinker comminuted in a roller press, and in which the material charge is suspended in a conveying gas, and consisting of a coarse separator (2), on top of which a fine separator (1) is mounted directly. The coarse separator (2) has a material inlet duct (15), a centrifugal pulverizer or rotor with arms (16) forming a disagglomerator, a gas inlet duct (18) and a material outlet duct (21) for a separated coarse fraction. The fine separator (1) has a material gas inlet duct (9), an additional material inlet duct (11), an outlet duct (3) for a fine fraction in suspension and an outlet duct (10) for a separated coarser fraction.

Abstract: A rotary drum for treating materials comprises a drum shell having a generally tubular configuration wall and one or more unitary material treating members forming a portion of the wall. In a preferred embodiment, the drum shell comprises a plurality of ring-shaped sections mechanically joined together in axial alignment wherein at least one of the sections has a unitary material treating member forming a portion of the section wall. In typical applications the treating members are cast steel members and the remaining portions of the drum shell are predominantly plate steel.The advantages of this drum include easier fabrication with a reduction in the extent of welding, avoidance of welding in inaccessible locations, elimination of abrupt changes in thickness and, in operation, a reduction of unwanted shearing stresses.
