Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a process and an apparatus for spraying a powder with liquid and more especially to spraying a powder with liquid in a mixing vessel.
- Previously an apparatus for spraying a powder with liquid has included a mixing vessel having an inlet duct in an upper portion, a spray zone portion including radially arranged spraying nozzles for producing a spray of liquid droplets and an outlet duct in a lower portion, together with a feeding means and a collecting means. In operation powder is entrained in air and conveyed by the feeding means into the inlet duct of the mixing vessel at an optimum throughput rate in the range of 100 to 20000 kg/hour of powder, then the powder entrained in air is sprayed with liquid droplets emanating from the spray nozzles in the spray zone after which the sprayed powder is collected in the collecting means. To accommodate the powder entrained in air necessitates that the feeding means includes relatively larger diameter ducting and piping because of the velocity of the entraining air. Additionally the dimensions of the mixing vessel need to be correspondingly large so as to accommodate a relatively large volume of air having a high velocity to promote mixing of the powder entrained in air with the liquid droplets, and to provide a reduction in the velocity of the entraining air. Also the collecting means needs to be correspondingly large in dimensions so as to effect separation of the sprayed powder and the entraining air. Consequently such an apparatus is relatively large in overall dimensions thus having a relatively high capital cost. Additionally it is uneconomic to operate the apparatus at rates outside the optimum throughput rate, for example when a relatively small through rate of 50 kg/hour of powder is required.
- It has now been found possible to provide a technically simpler apparatus which is structurally more compact and has relatively smaller overall dimensions. Thus having a relatively lower capital cost. Additionally the apparatus has been found to be economic to operate for throughput rates in the range of 20 to 100 kg/hour of powder.
- According to the invention there is provided a process for spraying a powder with liquid including the steps of introducing a powder having an average particle size in the range of 1 micron to 1.0 mm as a stream into an upper region of a mixing vessel, effecting within the mixing vessel entrainment of the powder stream in air, spraying the powder entrained in air with liquid in a spray zone of the mixing vessel, and collecting the sprayed powder.
- According to the invention there is also provided an apparatus for spraying a powder with a liquid including a mixing vessel having aligned axially an upper portion including an inlet duct, a lower portion including an outlet duct, and a spray zone intermediate the upper and lower portions, a feeding means for feeding powder into the inlet duct of the mixing vessel having an outlet duct axially aligned with the inlet duct and the spray zone of the mixing vessel, a venturi device axially aligned within the upper portion of the mixing vessel intermediate the inlet duct and the spray zone arranged to effect entrainment of the powder in a stream of air, and a spray nozzle axially aligned within the spray zone arranged to direct a spray of liquid into the stream of air and entrained powder.
- Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying diagramatic drawings in which:-
- Figure 1 represents an apparatus for spraying a powder with liquid including a mixing vessel mounted on a vibrating fluidized bed chamber; and
- Figure 2 represents in section the mixing vessel represented in Figure 1.
- With reference to Figures 1 and 2 an apparatus 1 for spraying a powder with liquid includes a mixing vessel 2 having extending coaxially a cylindrical
upper portion 4 having an axially alignedinlet duct 6, an intermediate portion 8 including an apertured domedupper region 10 and a downwardly diverging frustoconical region 12, and a cylindricallower portion 14. The frustroconical region 12 includes asealable port 16 through which passes an axially alignednozzle 18 which extends downwardly into a spray zone enclosed by the frustoconical region 12. The nozzle is supplied with liquid from an external storage tank (not shown) to produce a downwardly directed spray of liquid droplets. Superjacent theinlet duct 6 and axially aligned therewith is anoutlet duct 20 of a screw feeder which directs a downwardly flowing stream of powder into the mixing vessel 2. Positioned axially beneath theoutlet duct 20 of the screw feeder and axially accommodated within the uppercylindrical portion 4 of the mixing vessel 2 is aventuri device 22 having a circumferentially extending chamber (not shown) discharging through a gap (not shown) extending circumferentially of a throat (not shown) of theventuri device 22. The chamber (not shown) is supplied with compressed air which produces by an induced venturi action on discharge through the gap (not shown) an acceleration in the flow rate of the powder stream and atmospheric air drawn into a mouth of theventuri device 22, and a spreading of the powder stream into a downwardly directed conical spray of powder entrained in air. Attached to the cylindricallower portion 14 of the mixing vessel 2 and depending therefrom is a flexiblecylindrical connection 22 surrounding an outlet duct 25, theconnection 24 is attached at its lower edge to aninlet duct 26 of a vibratoryfluidised bed chamber 28. - The vibratory
fluidised bed chamber 28 has four rectangular walls connected together at adjacent edges, arectangular roof 20 including theinlet duct 26, arectangular base 32 and anoutlet duct 34 communicating with one of the rectangular walls remote from theinlet duct 26. Attached to the walls and positioned intermediate theroof 30 andbase 32 of thefluidised bedchamber 28 is adiffuser plate 36 which divides thefluidised bed chamber 28 into an upper and a lower region (38,40). Attached to thebase 32 of thefluidised bed chamber 28 and positioned intermediate theinlet duct 26 and theoutlet duct 34 is an upright partition 42 which divides thelower region 40 of thefluidised bed chamber 28 into twodiscrete zones lower region 40 through thediffuser plate 36 into theupper region 38 of the fluidised bed. The fluidising air is directed into each of thediscrete zones zone 39 adjacent theinlet duct 26 may be heated with respect to the fluidising air directed into thezone 41 adjacent theoutlet duct 34. Attached to an external surface of the base of the fluidisedbed chamber 28 areleaf springs 44 mounted on abase support 46. The fluidised bed chamber is vibrated on the springs by amotor 48 attached to thebase support 46. - Communicating with the
upper region 38 of thefluidised bed chamber 28 is a filter system (not shown) including cyclone filters which extract dust and any other extraneous matter from the fluidising air emanating from thefluidised bed chamber 28 and the entraining air before discharge to the atmosphere. - In operation powder particles having an average particle size in the range of 1 micron to 1.0 mm is charged into the screw feeder and then fed at a throughput rate in the range of 20 to 100 kg/hour of powder through the
outlet duct 30 into theinlet duct 6 of the mixing vessel 1 to the mouth of theventuri device 22 as a free falling stream of powder. Simultaneously compressed air at a pressure in the range of 0.3 bar to 5.0 bar is supplied to theventuri device 22 at a throughput rate in the range of 12m3/hour to 30m3/hour which produces by an induced venturi action on discharge through the gap an acceleration in the flow rate of the powder stream and atmospheric air drawn into the mouth of the venturi device and a spreading of the powder stream into a downwardly directed conical spray of powder entrained in air. Liquid is then supplied to thenozzle 18, for example, a 0.4mm diameter hollow cone pressure nozzle, at a maximum throughput rate of 221itres/hour to produce a downwardly directed conical spray of liquid droplets which intermingle with the downwardly directed conical spray of powder entrained in air in the spray zone to produce a mixture of liquid droplets and partially coated powder particles in which 5 to 70% by weight of the mixture may be liquid. With continued downward movement the partially coated powder particles mixed with liquid droplets and the entraining air pass through the outlet duct 25 which is surrounded by theflexible connection 24 attached to the lowercylindrical portion 14 of the mixing vessel 2 and enters theupper region 38 of the vibratoryfluidised bed chamber 28. The vibratory movement of thefluidised bed chamber 28 is effected by actuation of themotor 48 and fluidising air is directed through the ducts and fans into thediscrete zones lower region 40 of the fluidised bed chamber. The fluidising air then passes through thediffuser plate 36 at rates to give velocities in the range of 0.2m/s to 1.2m/s to fluidise the partially coated powder particles mixed with liquid droplets. After a dwell time in the range of 2 to 5 minutes for a depth of bed including air in the range of 20mm to 80mm the vibrating motion of the fluidisedbed chamber 28 causes the product powder to be conveyed to theoutlet duct 34 through which it is discharged. Fluidising air and entraining air is discharged from theupper portion 38 of the fluidised bed chamber into the filter system for filtering, and after filtering is completed the filtered air is discharged to the atomsphere. - In a modification of the previously described process, when the liquid supplied to the
nozzle 18 is water or an emulsion containing water and evaporation to produce the product powder is required then the fluidising air supplied to thezone 39 adjacent to theinlet 26 is heated to a maximum temperature of 1400C by the heater to evaporate off the water. Additionally the fluidising air supplied to thezone 41 adjacent theoutlet duct 34 may be at a relatively lower temperature such that the product powder may be cooled to aid friability before discharge through theoutlet duct 34. - In a modification of the previously described apparatus a guide member (not shown) having an axially aligned inlet and outlet, and downwardly converging frusto conical walls are positioned axially beneath the throat of the
venturi device 22 in the frustoconical region 12 of the mixing vessel 2 with the outlet of the guide member surrounding thenozzle 18. The guide member facilitates the concentrating and guiding of the powder stream entrained in air emanating from theventuri device 22 such that enhanced mixing of the powder stream with liquid from thenozzle 18 is achieved in the spray zone. The guide member is used especially when water at a relatively high throughput rate is sprayed onto the powder. - Although in preceeding paragraphs a
fluidised bed chamber 28 has been used to collect and dry the product powder, other collection and drying systems may be employed, for example, a moving belt of a conveyor which moving belt passes through a drying tunnel. - Further regarding the
fluidised bed chamber 28 although in preceeding paragraphs thelower region 40 has been described as being divided into twozones lower region 40 may be divided into more than two separate zones each one of which may be supplied with heated, or cooled air depending on whether the air is to be used for evaporation of water or cooling of the product powder prior to discharge through theoutlet duct 34. - Suitable powders and liquids which may be employed in the process described in preceeding paragraphs include spraying casein powder with an alkaline solution; spraying starch or starch derivatives with an alkaline solution or water;-spraying animal feed with molasses and fats; spraying milk powder with fat or oil-in- water emulsions; spraying dried powders with water or other liquids to effect agglomeration; and spraying inorganic powders with solutions of detergent.
