SWINGING AGITATOR FOR A GYPSUM CALCINING APPARATUS AND THE LIKE

摘要

An agitation mechanism for a gypsum processing apparatus which includes a housing having a bottom wall and at least one side wall. The housing can be constructed and arranged to receive and process gypsum-based products. An a gitator frame having a similarly shaped cross-section to the cross- section of the housing is provided and positioned adjacent the bottom wall of the ho using. The agitator frame is pivotally connected internally to the housing f or reciprocating movement between first and second positions. The agitation mechanism is operable for preventing fluid channeling to ensure good fluidiz ation of the gypsum products from collecting adjacent the bottom wall of the housing.
