Patent number: 11117111Abstract: An apparatus for producing water-absorbing resin particles for which surface cross-linking treatment is conducted, the surface cross-linking treatment being conducted by spraying a surface cross-linking agent to a water-absorbing resin particle precursor and heating the agent and the precursor, the apparatus includes a treatment container in which the surface cross-linking treatment is conducted, a stirring device including a stirring member disposed in the treatment container, a heating device that heats an inside of the treatment container; and a spray nozzle disposed in the treatment container, the spray nozzle spraying into the treatment container the surface cross-linking agent supplied from a surface cross-linking agent supply source in an exterior of the treatment container through a supply pipe. In a flow path in the spray nozzle spanning from an entrance of the spray nozzle to a spray exit, a point whose opening cross-section is smallest in a flow path through which a fluid passes is the spray exit.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2020Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: SUMITOMO SEIKA CHEMICALS CO., LTD.Inventors: Masato Kotake, Tetsuya Takechi, Hideo Kazama

Publication number: 20200299008Abstract: Filling of a powder particle material is executed for a flexible container bag (hereinafter, referred to as “flex container bag”) by executing a powder particle material filling step of filling the flex container bag with the powder particle material by supplying the powder particle material to the flex container bag, and a tapping step of executing a lifting operation of lifting up the flex container bag filled with the powder particle material to cause the flex container bag to be distant from a floor surface or a base bed thereabove and a dropping operation of dropping the flex container bag by releasing the lifting by the lifting operation to cause the flex container bag to collide with the floor surface or the base bed. The handling property of the flex container bag filled with the powder particle material can further be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2017Publication date: September 24, 2020Applicant: SUMITOMO SEIKA CHEMICALS CO., LTD.Inventors: Hideki Matsushita, Kenji Nakamura, Hideo Kazama
