  • Method and equipment for atomizing liquids, preferably melts
    Patent number: 5071067
    Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatus for atomizing metal melts by disintegration of a vertical tapping stream of the melt with the aid of horizontal media jets of pressurized gas. The media jets are formed by two slot-shaped nozzles or row of nozzles separate from each other. The jets are oriented to flow at an angle beta between the media jets. A zone is established between the media jets just prior to the intersection of the tapping stream with the media jets. The tapping liquid is drawn back into the zone by the media jets action.
