Patent granted for distributor device for guiding materials with cleaning apparatus
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11964267B2) discloses a distributor device designed to guide materials efficiently. The device includes a process chamber with inlet and outlet openings, a distributor element for material distribution, a cleaning apparatus with a nozzle for cleaning the chamber and distributor element, and an inflatable seal at the distributor element's free end to ensure a material-tight seal. The distributor element is rotatable about an axis of rotation, allowing for connection between the inlet and outlet openings. Additionally, the device features a drainage floor to guide liquid out of the chamber through the outlet openings, with the option for the distributor element to be double-walled for compressed air supply to the seal.
The patent also outlines methods for material distribution and collection using the distributor device. These methods involve rotating the distributor element to connect the inlet opening to an outlet opening, conveying materials through the chamber via the distributor element, and utilizing compressed air to inflate the seal for a material-tight closure. The cleaning process involves conveying cleaning fluid through the distributor element and nozzle, ensuring the device is cleaned without dismantling or manual intervention. The methods also specify the conveyance of materials gravimetrically and/or pneumatically, with options for negative or positive pressure conveyance. Overall, the patent highlights an innovative distributor device and associated methods that streamline material handling processes while maintaining efficiency and cleanliness.
