<p>1490155 Valves B P DUCH 8 May 1975 [15 May 1974 6 May 1975] 19491/75 Heading F2V [Also in Division B8] Material is conveyed from a low pressure zone to a high pressure zone by a device comprising a hollow rotor the inside of which is at the low pressure and is supplied with material which on rotation of the rotor opens a peripheral slot in the rotor to discharge the material into a stator at the high pressure. As shown, the rotor has rigid walls 4, 5 and a resilient wall 3 abutting the walls. Gas under pressure enters the rotor at 13 to fluidize material within the rotor so that as the rotor rotates the material pushes the wall 3 away from the wall 5. In a second embodiment (Fig. 2), the rotor has two opposed cups, one of which is resiliently biased towards the other but which can be moved apart to form the outlet slot.</p> |
