Method and device to distribute uniformly a solid in a finely divided form in a vessel

摘要

Process for uniform distribution of a solid in divided form in a vessel, in which the solid falls onto a movable tool comprising an axle (2) driven in rotation by a motor and deflector elements (1) fixed in rotation to the axle and arranged at various levels around it. Each level contains a number of deflectors of identical form and are arranged symmetrically about the axle. The deflectors at each level are vertically above each other and the assembly occupies between 30% and 80% of the space. Device for uniform distribution of a solid in divided form in a vessel, comprising at the top of the vessel a means of supplying the solid to be distributed, which drops the solid vertically into the vessel, and a movable tool as described above. At each level the elements have the same speed of rotation and stay vertically above one another throughout the loading process. Use of the process or device to load vessels with a diameter greater than 5m.
