<p>IMPROVED MULTI-SCREW, CONTINUOUS, MATERIAL PROCESSING SYSTEMS The invention relates generally to an improved system for treating material proceeding continuously through a processing barrel having at least twin interconnected cylinders. Rotating parallel mixer shafts, co-axially mounted in the cylinders, have radially interwiping screw or paddle elements between a material charging inlet and a material. discharging outlet which are configured to wipe the cylinders. Sets of paddle elements, each of which includes a cylinder blocking paddle, are provided on the shafts at a flow control station between the inlet and outlet, and a movable flow-controlling saddle or valve element is mounted with relation to the cylinder blocking paddle sets in a position such that it can be moved from an opened position to a position to restrict or block flow past the sets of paddle elements.</p> |
