Appl. No.:

7/565342

Assignee:

Komline-Sanderson Engineering Corp. - Peapack NJ

International Classification:

B01D 3304
B01D 3346
B01D 3362

US Classification:

210783

Abstract:

A process for dewatering sludge on a flight of a foraminous filter belt that moves in a substantially longitudinal direction between sludge deposit and sludge discharge positions is disclosed herein. The process includes the steps of depositing sludge on the belt flight at the deposit position; moving the flight with the sludge deposited thereon in a substantially longitudinal direction toward a position in which the sludge is discharged from the belt; initially elevating and mixing the sludge as it is carried by the belt by inserting in the path of movement of the sludge on the belt a plow having a side wall on which the sludge can ride up and be elevated as it is carried by the belt, the side wall extending to a position is proximity to the belt and forming an exterior angle with the belt; again elevating and mixing the sludge as it is carried by said belt at a second position downstream of the initial elevating position by inserting in the path of movement of the sludge a plow having a side wall on which the sludge can ride up and be elevated as it is carried by the belt, the side wall at the second positioned forming an exterior angle with the belt smaller than the exterior angle formed by the side wall at the initial elevating and mixing position; and advancing the sludge past the second elevating and mixing position and discharging the sludge from the belt flight.

Appl. No.:

6/170051

Inventors:

John Goron - Bridgewater NJ

Assignee:

Midland-Ross Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

B29D 2304

US Classification:

4251331

Abstract:

An accumulator head is described as having an annular accumulation chamber, an annular ring-piston movable axially through the chamber, an inlet through which plasticized resinous material is forced into the chamber between opposing ends thereof, and a special feature built into the ring-piston which causes material, flowing into the chamber, to wipe the face or tip of the piston and keep it clean and free of any material. A discharge passageway leads from the accumulation chamber to a discharge orifice adjacent which a parison is formed by resinous material from the chamber. Another inlet is provided in the discharge passageways as a means of providing a final, outer layer or laminate of material to that flowing out the discharge passageway from the chamber.

US Classification:

4251331

Abstract:

An accumulator head is described as having an annular accumulation chamber, an annular ring-piston movable axially in the chamber for forcing resinous material from the chamber through an annular discharge passageway leading from the chamber to an annular discharge orifice which, for example, is in communication with a blow mold. An annular inlet is provided in the discharge passageway between the chamber and orifice as a means whereby resinous material is moved into the discharge passageway to add an outer laminate to material flowing through the discharge passageway, or as a means of filling the accumulation chamber with a slug of material.

Assignee:

Komline-Sanderson Engineering Corporation - Peapack NJ

International Classification:

B01D 3368

US Classification:

210396

Abstract:

Apparatus for enhancing dewatering of sludge on a filter belt by the use of conical plows that elevate and mix the sludge. The angles of the plows with the horizontal may be progressively increased, and thereby increase elevation and mixing of the sludge as it moves downstream on the belt toward discharge position.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

John Goron - Bridgewater NJ

Assignee:

Komline-Sanderson Engineering Corporation - Peapack NJ

International Classification:

B01D 3336

US Classification:

210396

Abstract:

Disclosed is a filtering device comprising an endless perforate conveyor belt adapted to carry a liquid-containing material and extract liquid from the material through the belt, and a plow assembly for disrupting the material carried by the belt. The plow assembly comprises a generally horizontally positioned cross-member extending across the width of the belt, the cross-member supporting at least one plow such that the plow is capable of contacting the material carried by the belt, the cross-member is mounted adjacent its ends on slide means that enable the cross-member to be raised and lowered with respect to the perforate belt. The device further includes selectively actuatable member for raising and lowering the cross-member with respect to the belt to thereby move the plows into and out of material contacting position.
