  • Patent number: 10906045
    Abstract: A dimensionally stable ring element (1, 2) for a heat exchanger casing (3) includes: a cylindrical sleeve (10, 20) having a cylinder axis (102, 202), a first end (104, 204) and a second end (106, 206) remote from the first end, and having an inner wall (108, 208), a dividing wall (11, 21) which projects inwards from the inner wall (108, 208) of the sleeve (10, 20) and extends helically around the cylinder axis (102, 202) along the inner wall (108, 208) from the first end (104, 204) of the sleeve (10, 20) to the second end (106, 206) of the sleeve (10, 20). At its first end (104, 204) the sleeve (10, 20) includes a projection (109, 116, 209, 216) extending parallel to the cylinder axis (102, 202), which projection is arranged in a predetermined circumferential position on the sleeve (10, 20).

  • Patent number: 10792665
    Abstract: An agitator ball mill comprises agitating discs (18) on an agitating shaft, wherein two adjacent agitating discs (18) are bounding a grinding cell, respectively. The agitating discs (18) comprise grinding material passage openings (28) which are only arranged in the immediate proximity of a grinding chamber inner boundary (19), which connect adjacent grinding cells, and which have a radially outer boundary that has a distance R28 starting from the grinding chamber inner boundary (19) in the radial direction of the agitating disc (18). For the ratio of the distance R28 of the radially outer boundaries of the grinding material passage openings (28) to a radial extension R18 of the agitating discs (18), the following condition applies: 0.05·R18?R28?0.25·R18. Otherwise the agitating discs (18) are closed.

  • Patent number: 10173222
    Abstract: An agitator ball mill that includes agitating discs (18) on an agitating shaft drivable in a spinning direction (38), which are provided with entraining profiles (35). These entraining profiles (35) are formed by a trailing wall of a respective channel of a plurality of channels (36). In relation to the spinning direction (38) the trailing wall (39) of an inner channel section (49) runs radially straight relative to the central longitudinal axis (15) and has a length f, and has an outer bent-off channel section (41), which is bent off counter to the spinning direction (38). The outer channel sections (41) are closed radially to the outside by a peripheral portion (42) of the agitating disc (18) having a radial width e.

  • Publication number: 20180104698
    Abstract: An agitator ball mill comprises agitating discs (18) on an agitating shaft drivable in a spinning direction (38), which are provided with entraining profiles (35). These entraining profiles (35) are formed by channels (36) each comprising with its—in relation to the spinning direction (38)—trailing wall (39) an inner channel section (49) running radially straight relative to the central longitudinal axis (15) and having a length f, and in the further course an outer bent-off channel section (41), which is bent off counter to the spinning direction (38). The outer channel sections (41) are closed radially to the outside by a peripheral portion (42) of the agitating disc (18) having a radial width e.
