  • Patent number: 9964357
    Abstract: Drying and separation vibrating fluidized bed for processing wet coal by high-temperature hot air. Wet coal is fed into a vibrating separation chamber connected to a hot air supply duct. The wet coal is vibrated as it is dried and is layered as heat and mass transfer occur between the high-temperature air and the wet coal particles. Hot air enters the bottom of separation chamber through a distribution plate that includes asbestos fiber cloth sandwiched between clamping plates. The wet coal is fed through a feeding distribution device that separates the coal pieces as they enter the separation chamber. After the coal is dried and layered, the heavy and light material exits the separation chamber through two discharge impellers.

  • Patent number: 7617938
    Abstract: An elastic sieving method and corresponding large-sized elastic vibration screen. The present invention utilizes a screening surface and a separate sieving machine. A screen mat located on the sieve box is connected to multiple small rectangular screens. While the machine is vibrating, the resonation of screen rods located on the screen mat connected by small rectangular screens are initiated to screen the material and to cause the vibration of the whole vibration screen and realize the conveyance and lamination of materials. Because the screening surface is in a state of resonance, the vibration strength is strong enough to prevent the screen meshes from becoming plugged, allowing for high sieving efficiency. A bearing in the sieving mechanism is installed with a vibration damping ring, placing the bearing in a resonant state, allowing for a low dynamic stress level, which satisfies the process requirement for large-sized vibration screen excitation units with a screening surface as wide as 4800 mm.
