  • Patent number: 6846103
    Abstract: An apparatus for continuous stirring comprising a horizontal elongated cylindrical vessel and two rotating blade assemblies rotatable in the direction opposite to each other provided in parallel to each other in the vessel, where a liquid feed is moved from one end to another therethrough by rotation of the two rotating blade assemblies in the direction opposite to each other, while stirring and mixing the liquid feed, the two rotating blade assemblies each comprising rotor shafts (3a-3b or 3c-3d) supported at both ends of the rotating blade assemblies, support members (4) each fixed to the rotor shafts, connecting members (5) span between the support members (4) and in positions far from the substantial rotating shaft center and a plurality of plate-shaped stirring blades (6) arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the substantial rotating shaft center and fixed to the connecting members (5).

  • Patent number: 6753403
    Abstract: A process for producing polycarbonate designed to improve the quality of polycarbonate as a polymerization product polymer and reduce the investment and operating costs is provided. Polycarbonate is produced in two horizontal cylindrical agitation reactors provided with agitation blades successively extended through the vessel and partly with agitation blades having a screw function, as horizontally ganged together in series without any agitator center shaft, where the primary agitation reactor is a uniaxial horizontal agitation reactor with the agitation blades rotating at a low speed ranging from 1 rpm to 10 rpm, while keeping a clearance between the inner wall of the vessel ad the agitation blades in a range of 1 mm to 50 mm, and the secondary agitation reactor is a biaxial horizontal agitation reactor with agitation blades provided horizontally and in parallel, without any rotating center shaft, which conducts treatment by agitation at a low speed ranging from 1 rpm to 15 rpm.
