Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of producing shredded soap.
  • the general object of the invention is to improve upon the process set forth in my prior United States Patent No. 1,603,559, dated October 19, 1926, wherein soap shreds are formed by the mechanical breaking up of soap, in a semi-liquid or pastelike condition, into tiny shreds which are dried sufficiently to render them non-adhering-
  • One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a process for producing an aerated, mechanically shredded soap product. While it is old to impregnate a body of molten soap with air by a crutching operation, as, for eX- ample in the United States patent to Ellis, No.
  • soap shreds produced as above described may be dried in various ways1 I them by the well known countercurrent flow principal of drying semiliquid substances, but to improve upon my aforementioned patent in this respect by causing the drying air to pass through the drying chamber under the action of a suction-producing device at the upper end of the chamber, whereby the finer particles of the product can be collected and the waste air be discharged in a clean condition, thus effecting a recovery of such of the liner particles as were previously wasted and also pre 1928.
  • the invention further consists in the methi taken on the line 2-2 of Fgl; l
  • Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view through i the shredder.
  • the numeral 5 designates a steam-jacketed storage tank wherein the soap is kept in a liquid condition by heating it to a suitable temperature, as for example, .180 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • the soap is introduced into this tank by a pipe 6 connected with a suitable source of supply.
  • the liquid-soap is drawn off from the bottom of the tank by gravity and in addition by a pair of pumps 8 connected by pipe 7 with the tank 5 and arranged in multistage relation and driven by an electric motor 9 through a suitable variable transmission drive 10, including belts l1.
  • the liquid soap is delivered under pressure by the pumps which control its rate of discharge to and through a discharge line 12 to an agitator 13 which is of the rotary type and may be a suitable centrifugal pump or beater.
  • the discharge pipe 17 is Vsteam-jacketed and steam from a live-steam line 29 passes through iacketed portions 30 of this pipe and thence by way of pipe 31 to the jacket space 32 of the tank and the condensate is discharged through overflow pipe 33.
  • Pipes 34 and 35 connect the line 29 with the soap pipe for blowing orcleaning it out and pipe 35 i's a pipe line for draining the soap from the supply tank, if necessary.
  • the shredding apparatus 18 is located centrally in the upper portion of a large drying chamber 36, the upper part of the shredding apparatus and the feed pipes associated therewith being in a compartment 37, separate from but extending into the drying chamber.
  • a small propeller 38, mounted on the shaft 26, is used to direct air in the immediate vicinity of the shredder head downward l. in order to keep the soap particles from co1- lecting on parts ofthe shredder apparatus.
  • An air-rotated member 42 is centrally mounted in the lower end of the chamber and is provided with wiper .blades 43 moving adjacent the side walls at the lower end of the chamber to keep the port 41 clean.
  • the air is preferably heated to quite a high temperature, for example 260 degrees Fahrenheit, and as it ascends through the chamber .39 it comes into intimate drying contact with the small shredded particles of soap that are being projected into the chamber by the shredding apparatus, with the result that these particles are rapidly transformed from an emulsive state into small dried particles of soap having minute air bubbles entrapped thcrein which particles gravitate to the bottom of the drying chamber where they are removed by a positively driven, revolving gate 44 which deposits them onto a conveyor 45 upon which they are cooled as they proceed through a cooling chamber 46 and are then led to a lace of storage or ackaging.
  • a high temperature for example 260 degrees Fahrenheit
  • the warm ryin air is prefera ly caused to move upwardly y the action of a suction fan 47 connected by a'conduit 48 with the upper end of a cycloneseparator chamber 49 which connects by conduit 50 with the upper end of thev drying chamber 39 and which has a valved outlet 51 for controlling the discharge of collected soap particles.
  • a suction fan 47 connected by a'conduit 48 with the upper end of a cycloneseparator chamber 49 which connects by conduit 50 with the upper end of thev drying chamber 39 and which has a valved outlet 51 for controlling the discharge of collected soap particles.
  • the lmethod o making shredded soap which comprises beating a mixture of hot, semiluid soap and air, under pressure, into a frothy condition, delivering the mixture so formed to a shredder, shredding said soap while in its semiiuid condition, and drying said shreds as non-adhering entities.
  • The'method of making shredded soap which comprises beating a mixture of hot semifluid soap and air, under pressure, into a frothy conditlon, dehverymg the mixture so formed to a shredder, shredding said soap while in its semiiiuid condition and discharging it as shredded into a drying current of heated air.
  • the method of making shredded soap which comprises delivering soap in semitluid condition to a shredder, shredding the soap as it is discharged from the shredder, drying the shredded soap particles by ,downward descent in an upwardly moving current of heated air, and inducing a downward iiow of the drying air adjacent the shredder to prevent deposition of soap particles thereon.
