  • Apparatus for the treatment of substances
    Patent number: 6508423
    Abstract: The apparatus comprises a container which essentially has the shape of a body of revolution and comprises two half-shells detachable from one another and having a vertical axis. The container preferably has the shape of a sphere with a material inlet arranged in the upper half-shell and a material outlet arranged in the bottom of the lower half-shell. Also arranged in the container is a stirrer which is rotatable about an axis inclined not more than 20° and which is connected to a drive device arranged on the upper half-shell and picks up and constantly circulates the entire material during operation of the apparatus. The apparatus is suitable as a dryer, mixer and, with introduction of a suitable liquid, also as a granulator and can be used not only for chemical synthesis but also as a reactor, for example in the pharmaceutical manufacturing stage, in combined applications.
