Slurry distributor with a wiping mechanism, system, and method for using same

摘要

A slurry distributor can include a distribution conduit and a slurry wiping mechanism. The distribution conduit extends generally along a longitudinal axis and includes an entry portion, a distribution outlet in fluid communication with the entry portion, and a bottom surface extending between the entry portion and the distribution outlet. The distribution outlet extends a predetermined distance along a transverse axis, which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The slurry wiping mechanism includes a movable wiper blade in contacting relationship with the bottom surface of the distribution conduit. The wiper blade is reciprocally movable between a first position and a second position over a clearing path, which is disposed adjacent the distribution outlet.
