Automatic flushing apparatus for a hydrator

摘要

An improved hydrator apparatus for the transfer and slurry storage of dry particulate matter comprises a sealed solvation hopper chamber in combination with a liquid driven eductor and equipped to be connected to a storage container as provided. The improvement resides in the provision of a flushing device that functions periodically and automatically in timed intervals, and without the need to shut down the operating hydrator, to remove solids accumulation in the hopper chamber.
