  • Patent number: 10661238
    Abstract: A continuous particle manufacturing apparatus comprises a particle drawing section configured to draw particles out of a processing container, a sorting section configured to sort the particles drawn by the particle drawing section into processed particles and unprocessed particles, a discharge section to which the processed particles sorted out by the sorting section are discharged, and a particle returning section configured to return, into the processing container, the unprocessed particles sorted out by the sorting section, the particle returning section being configured to blow the unprocessed particles toward an inner wall surface of the processing container together with an air stream.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 23, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 26, 2020

  • Patent number: 8671877
    Abstract: A measuring unit 13 is provided inside a rotary drum 11. The measuring unit 13 is provided with a light transmitting member 13a and an optical sensor 13b that are provided at the central region on the inner wall of the other end portion 11b. When particles are subjected to a coating treatment, information as to the properties (such as the coating thickness, the moisture, the coating performance, and the impurity) of the particles of a particle layer A being brought into contact with the surface of the light transmitting member 13a is measured on a real-time basis by the NIR sensor 13b via the light transmitting member 13a. The data is processed by the processing unit of the NRI spectroscopic analyzer to thereby perform monitoring.

  • Patent number: 7297314
    Abstract: A fluidized bed apparatus has a rotary rotor 4 arranged at the bottom center thereof, a disintegrator mechanism 5 arranged above the rotary rotor 4, and a cylindrical draft tube 6 installed above the disintegrator mechanism 5. A fluidizing gas jetted from a gas dispersion plate 3 causes powder particles P in a processing container 1 to form a fluidized bed in which they circulate so as to ascend through the gap between the outer periphery of the rotary rotor 4 and the bottom inner wall of the processing container 1, the space between the disintegrator mechanism 5 and the inner wall of the processing container 1, and the space between the outer periphery of the draft tube 6 and the inner wall of the processing container 1, and descend through the inner portion of the draft tube 6.
