SYNCHRONOUS SINGLE- AND DOUBLE-ACTING PISTON FEEDER SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A mechanism applies necessary forces for the creation of one or more plugs of compressible material to be supplied to a reactor. The plugs are capable of forming a seal between inlets for the plugs and the reactor. The mechanism includes two double-acting hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies coupled with two single-acting hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies.
