ROTARY MILL

摘要

A rotary milling system includes a rotatable cylinder, a discharge grate, a movable flap valve into and out of engagement with the grate, a discharge housing surrounding the grate, and a conveying pipe extending from the discharge housing. The cylinder can include grinding media for abrading a product when the cylinder is rotated. The product can be in either a dry form or within a liquid medium. Upon conclusion of the milling, the flap valve can be opened to allow the milled product to pass through the grate and into the discharge housing. A negative pressure can be applied to draw the milled product through the conveying pipe into a separator tank.

1. A rotary milling system comprising:
a rotatable cylinder defining a cavity and a central longitudinal axis; a discharge grate provided on a sidewall of the cylinder and defining an opening to allow milled product to pass therethrough; a discharge housing surrounding the discharge grate and defining a cavity therein; a flap disposed within the discharge housing and moveable between a closed position covering the opening of the discharge grate and an open position away from the opening; a conveying pipe in fluid communication with the housing; and a negative pressure producing vacuum member operatively associated with the conveying pipe to create a negative pressure within the conveying pipe.
