Abstract: Method and device for repairing the spout sleeve of a metallurgical vessel fitted securely within the refractory lining of the vessel in which the sleeve is repaired by applying mortar to the casting channel of the sleeve with a mortar dispenser inserted into the casting channel, which upon removing the mortar dispenser from the casting channel calibrates the latter over the entire length of the channel. The mortar dispenser is driven rotating coaxially to the casting channel during the mortar application and, after a defined time, is removed from the casting channel, still rotating. The method is particularly suitable for repairing the inner sleeve of a casting ladle with a slide closure adjoining the ladle spout, maintenance of which is automatically carried out in a maintenance station of the casting facility. Repair of the inner sleeve is also carried out automatically here during the maintenance of the slide closure.

Abstract: A bubble removing system and a bubble removing method are provided. The bubble removing system comprises a main bubble removing apparatus which comprises a first enclosed container, a first fluid lead-in pipe, a first fluid lead-out pipe, and a bubble collecting member. The cross section of the inner cavity of the first enclosed container is circular, and the first enclosed container is used for accommodating a fluid substance. The first fluid lead-in pipe passes through a sidewall of the first enclosed container, is tangent to the inner cavity wall of the first enclosed container, and is disposed at the upper part of the first enclosed container. The first fluid lead-out pipe passes through the sidewall of the first enclosed container and is disposed at the lower part of the first enclosed container.

Abstract: A particulate-incorporating attachment for a drop spreader is provided that includes a two-portion mount bracket, an implement holder, and a rake/brush. The bracket portions are connected to form a mount bracket over the rest brace of the drop spreader. The mount bracket mounts or carries the implement holder, which supports the rake/brush in a suitable position to assist in the incorporation of infill material into the space between the grass tufts of synthetic turf or to assist in the incorporation of other dropped particulates into synthetic or natural turf or onto the ground.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a material loader for quickly and easily loading material, particularly bulk material, into a containment apparatus. Material to be loaded is placed inside a bin that is dimensioned to fit inside the containment apparatus. In use the containment apparatus is positioned so that the bin is inside the containment apparatus and the containment apparatus or a vehicle bearing the containment apparatus is connected to a material transfer member inside the bin. Forward movement of the containment apparatus/vehicle causes the material transfer member to hold against the material while the bin slides out of the containment apparatus from the point of view of the containment apparatus, leaving the material behind. In other words, the forward movement of the containment apparatus/vehicle causes the material transfer member to pull the material into the containment apparatus. The invention may also be used for unloading a containment apparatus.

Abstract: An atomizer system 160 for use in a spray dry absorber 130, the atomizer system 160 includes a support member 161, an atomizing disc 162 rotatably coupled to the support member 161, a first feed line 163 for delivery of a reagent slurry 163a to a delivery area 165 and a second feed line 164 for delivery of a dilution liquid 164a to the delivery area 165. The delivery area 165 is positioned within the atomizer system 160 to reduce scale buildup generated by interaction of the reagent slurry 163a and the dilution liquid 164a.

Abstract: A rotary atomizing head 1, which has an inner peripheral surface 2 whose diameter increases from a bottom 21 of the inner peripheral surface toward a tip thereof, and atomizes and releases paint by applying a centrifugal force generated by rotation to the paint supplied to the bottom of the inner peripheral surface, includes a paint supply nozzle 11 for supplying the paint and a cleaning solution to the bottom of the inner peripheral surface, and the paint supply nozzle has a nozzle hole 10a for discharging the paint and the cleaning solution from a rotation center O portion of the rotary atomizing head in a direction substantially perpendicular to a rotation axis of the rotary atomizing head. The rotary atomizing head 1 also includes a dam portion 4 that is provided in an intermediate portion between the bottom and the tip of the inner peripheral surface and dams the paint and the cleaning solution supplied from the paint supply nozzle to the bottom and flow along the inner peripheral surface toward the tip.

Abstract: In a rotary atomizer (10) including a rotating bell (92) secured to a rotating shaft (20a) of an air motor (20) held in an atomizer body, the rotating bell having a plurality of orifices (92a) for supplying paint to an object to be painted, the rotating bell being rotated to spray the paint toward the object to be painted, the rotary atomizer comprises a paint passage (102a) with a paint port (112c) at an end thereof fluidly communicating with the orifices of the rotating bell, and a water passage (108) arranged outside of the paint passage and having a water port at an end of the water passage leading to the orifices of the rotating bell. A needle (94) for opening and closing the paint port may be provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a disperser that gives a local dispersing effect and a homogenous dispersing effect and that achieves a more efficient dispersion. The shearing disperser comprising a rotor and an opposing member that is opposite the rotor, wherein the disperser disperses a slurry or liquid mixture by allowing the mixture to pass through the disperser and outwardly between the rotor and the opposing member by centrifugal force, and wherein the disperser further comprises a plurality of gaps that are provided between the rotor and the opposing member and lead the mixture outwardly; and a buffering space that is provided to connect an outermost gap to a gap located in a position inward from the outermost gap and that retains the mixture.

Abstract: The present inventions relate to top dressing vehicles for coating, mixing, and dispensing compositions of top dressing materials comprising agriculturally active ingredients (A.I.s). More particularly, these inventions relate to apparatus for spraying liquid formulations comprising active ingredients A.I.s onto top dressing materials prior to and during delivering top dressing applications. Further, these inventions relate to applying liquids comprising A.I.s to top dressing materials at a point-of-application. Even further, these inventions relate to delivering treated top dressing, specifically, to broadcast spreading of top dressing comprising sand and agriculturally active ingredients as moist and dry compositions.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for dispensing a colored polymerizing composition. Two reactive components and one color component are pumped from respective containers at a metered volume. The color component, which is preferably a low-viscosity automotive paint is injected into either the first or second stream of reactive component at a point immediately prior to mixing all components in a dispensing device for dispensing the resulting colored fluid mixture onto a surface to be coated. The mixture may be dispensed by pouring or spraying onto the surface. The method and system are particularly useful for mixing and dispensing colored polyurethane or polyurea coatings, such as for spray-on truck bed liners.

Abstract: A mist assembly connected to an existing fan grill resulting in a cooling device that has an electrical fan member and a mist assembly featuring an atomizing nozzle. The mist assembly is operably associated with the fan member. The mist assembly has a pump member that draws water from a water source and pumps the water through the atomizing nozzle. The water mist emitted from the nozzle is uniformly dispersed as a fine mist within the airflow produced by the rotating fan blades and creates a cooling effect.
