  • Patent number: 4248539
    Abstract: A solids spreader in the form of a three-dimensional quincunx including a vertical column having a number of layers of parallel bars extending horizontally across it to deflect falling material with the bars in each layer being set at an angle to the bars in adjacent layers and being offset with respect to the bars in the next layer above and below in the same direction.

  • Patent number: 4207009
    Abstract: A gravity mixer for fluent materials in which material flows downwardly through a column sequentially along a number of helical paths where it comes into contact with multiple perforated flights which divide the material and divert portions onto other flights for combining and mixing with other portions of material in different paths, thus advancing portions of material and retarding other portions and continuously blending the portions as they are brought together during the fall through the column.

  • Patent number: 4054702
    Abstract: Monoliths made by joining ribbed sheet together have a tendency to collapse when the ribs of adjacent layers do not coincide. When the monolith is made by winding embossed sheet around a mandrel there will always be places where ribs do not coincide and which tend to collapse. This deficiency is minimized by using sheet with ribs having un-equal separation. Such sheet is obtained by embossing with a roll designed for this purpose, and the monoliths of this invention have unique features of channel dimensions.
