Vorrichtung zur Bildung einer kontinuierlichen Schicht von körnigem und/oder pulverigem Material in einer Paniermaschine.

摘要

A method for forming a moving, continuous bed which is composed of granular and/or pulverulent flowable material and which is of constant thickness provides an improved uniformity of the bed by collecting material from a first moving bed so as to form a buffer stock, and by subsequently delivering material from the stock in a regular fashion so as to form a second moving bed which is continuous. An apparatus for carrying out this method comprises a belt capable of being passed through by said material. The material can be moved with the belt over a guide plate situated beneath the belt. In order to prevent too little material being present locally during brief interruptions in the supply of the flowable material and in order to prevent the material being compressed and pulverized in the event of an excessively large supply, a buffer is provided for the material, the discharge opening of which buffer is situated near and above the guide plate. The buffer has an overflow. The material is thus fed via the buffer onto the belt. Provided the buffer remains filled, it is capable of compensating automatically for fluctuations in the material supply.
