AGITATOR

摘要

The agitator is used for agitating and crushing garbage, rubbish, or trash so as to dry the material in garbage treatment systems. The agitator comprises two cylindrical agitating tanks 10, 20, (Fig 3) 110, 120 (Fig 7) are horizontally positioned in parallel with each other, with a rotating shaft 11, 21 (Fig 3), 111, 121 (Fig 7) installed along a central axis of each of the two agitating tanks. A heater (3, Fig 1) heats the garbage as it is agitated. Agitating rods 12, 22 (Fig 3), 112, 122 (Fig 7) are attached to each of the rotating shafts within the agitating tanks. Paddles 13, 23 or impellers (210, 220, 230, 240, Fig 6) with curved blades 131, 132 (Fig 3), 231, 232 (Fig 7) are rotatably held by the agitating rods within each tank. Fixed crushing protrusions 15, 25, (Fig 3) P, (Fig 7) are formed on the inner surfaces of the tanks at positions around the junction ridge of the two tanks, while the paddles or the impellers are notched at positions corresponding to the crushing protrusions. The notched paddles or the notched impellers pass over the crushing protrusions during a rotating action of the rotating shafts within the agitating tanks while crushing the fermented products introduced into gaps between the notches and protrusions.
