,t, As shown in Figs. 1 through 4, the apparatus comprises a housing or casing 10 containing an imperforate, disc-like, rotatable divider or barrier wall 12 which is hereinafter termed a rotor. The rotor 12 divides the housing 10 into a blowing gas chamber 14 on one side of the rotor 12 and a material chamber 16 on the opposite side of the latter, and the rotor 12 is peripherally spaced from thereadjacent parts of the apparatus to provide an annular space 18 communicating the chambers 14, 16 around its periphery. The rotor 12 is .. .

~063081 fixedly mounted on a hub assembly designated generally as 20 which is, in turn, affixed to one end of a drive shaft 22 to be rotatably driven by the latter, the shaft 22 b~ing rotatably supported by bearings contained within a bearing housing 24 and adapted to be rotatably driven ky a conventional drive motor (not shown~ connected to its other end 26.
The blowing gas chamber 14 communicates through an axial opening 28 in a casing wall 30 with a blowing gas inlet chamber 32 also contained within the housing 10, and the :: 10 housing 10 is provided with a blowing gas inlet 34 communicat-ing the inlet chamber 32 with a source (not shown) of the blowing gas for continuously supplying gas from such source to .
the inlet chamber 32. The source of the blowing gas may be, for example, the gaseous reaction vessel of the beforementioned United States Patent. The rotor 12 rigidly carries fan means .~1 in the blowing gas chamber 14, this fan means being illustrated .~ as comprising a plurality of arcuately spaced apart, radially ;~ extending, fan vanes or blades 36. The fan blades 36 are affixed at their inner ends to the hub assembly 20 and during `` 20 their rotation with the rotor 12 cause the gas supplied to the .
,. blowing gas chamber 14 to flow through the annular space 18 .j peripherally of the rotor 12.
The housing 10 is also provided with a material inlet or inlet conduit 38 open to the chamber 16 centrally, and as illustrated co-axially, of the rotor 12, the material inlet 38 serving during operation of the apparatus for conti-~ nuously supplying the pulp or other material to the chamber 16.

rotatably driven shaft 42 is co-axially disposed in such tapering portion of the conduit 40 and therein carries a feed-and-compacting screw 44 which is continuously rotatably-driven throughout the operation of the apparatus. Hence, throughout such operation, the screw 44 continuously compacts ¦ the material in the tapering portion of the conduit 40 to ; ¦ form a plug of compacted material in the conduit 40 upstream . ¦ 10 of the material inlet 38 and thereby prevent both gas loss . ¦ from the housing 10 through the conduit 40 and introduction ~- ¦ of undesirable gases into the housing 10 through such conduit ¦ 40; and the screw 44 simultaneously feeds this plug of . I material through the material inlet 38 into the material chamber 16.
Immediately adjacent the material inlet 38 and in the - .
material chamber 16 centrally of the rotor 12, the hub assembly fixedly carries a plurality of radially extending, : knife-like elements or blades 46 serving to break-up or . 20 shread the compacted material supplied through the material inlet 38. The rotor 12 rigidly carries a plurality of ~ .
; ~ generally radially extending vanes 48 in the material chamber . 16 at locations spaced around the blades 46. The vanes 48 ~ -therebetween define generally radially extending pockets or passages 50, the inner ends 52 of the vanes 48 being arcuately spaced apart generally centrally of the rotor 12 to permit ~--feed of the broken-up or shreaded material into the inner ends of such pockets S0. The outer ends 54 of the vanes 48 are arcuately spaced apart aro~nd the periphery of the rotor . 30 12 whereby such broken-up material is, during the driven .

The sides of the pockets 50 adjacent to the rotor 12 are throughout their lengths closed by the rotor 12 from direct connection to the blowing gas chamber 14;, however, the opposite sides of such pockets 54 are open for purposes to be hereinafter described.
The housing 10 is provided with a material discharge outlet, designated generally as 56, which communicates with the material chamber 16 for discharging disintegrated material from the housing 10. The material discharge outlet 56 comprises a discharge volute 58 located axially - spaced from the material chamber 16 and its contained vanes ;
`~ 15 48, whereby such vanes 48 are completely external to the volute 58; and the annular casing wall 60 surrounding the i vanes 48 is throughout its arcuate extent a constant, ~ -: . uniform distance from the vane outer ends 54. The volute 58 is open along its inner periphery 62 to the material chamber . 20 16 and the open sides of the pockets S0 between the vanes : 46.
The material disintegrating means of the apparatus is . designated generally as 64 and disposed in the material :. chamber 16 spaced radially outwardly from the vane outer . 25 ends 54 in the path of the material outwardly discharged ~: from the pockets 50 between such outer ends 54. The vanes 48 are rotatable relative to the material disintegrating means 64; and the means 64 is particularly adapted to disintegrate the material by impact of the material thereon, while simultaneously causing the material to move inwardly . - towards the vane outer ends 54. In addition, '' ' ' dam means, de~ignated generally as 66, is interposed inter-mediate the material disintegrating means 64 and the material discharge means of the apparatus for restraining heavier undisintegrated, or only partially disintegrated material, from passing to the material discharge means.
- More particularly, as shown in Figs. 1 through 4, the material disintegrating means 64 comprises an annular, undulating or waved, disintegrating ring 68, throughout its length including alternate inwardly projecting peaks 70 and outwardly disposed valleys 72, which is rigidly affixed on the annular casing wall 60 to extend around the vanes 48 . spaced from their outer ends 54 by an annular space 74. The ., space 74, as will be understood, communicates at opposite ~: sides with the space 18 around the periphery of the rotor 12 ,. 15 and the discharge volute 58, whereby blowing gas from the ,~ space 18 flows transversely through the space 74 to the discharge volute 58 for blowing lighter, disintegrated ?~ .
material to the latter. The waved or undulating configuration of the disintegrating ring 68, as will be seen, causes the material discharged from the pockets 50 to be disintegrated -1 by its impact with the ring 68 while simultaneously causing inward movement of the material from the ring 68 towards the .i vane outer ends 54 whereby the lighter disintegrated material is ved inwardly to a location whereby it is readily blown over the hereinafter described dam means 66 to the volute 58.
- The dam means 66 comprises an annular ramp 76, affixed ~,i -on the casing wall 60, which is interposed intermediate the ~ disintegrating ring 68 and the volute 58 immediately following ,~ 30 the disintegrating ring 68. The ramp 76 is upwardly angled .~ .

i v ~ ; ( i'r. ) _ 10631~81 or inclined from the ring 68 towards the volute 58 whereby material adjacent the inner circumference of the ring 68 must climb the ramp 76 to enter the discharge volute 58; and hence the ramp 76 restrains or retards the heavier material from passing to the volute 58 and causes such heavier material to be retained at the ring 68 for disintegration into its ` component lighter material. The ramp 76, moreover, as will be seen, prevents the formation of the material pockets which would otherwise inherently occur at its location, which material pockets would b~ highly undesirable particularly as the ., .
material contained in the pockets would degrade and subse-quently separate from the pockets in clumps.
The dam means 66 further comprises an inwardly projecting, ~j annulardam wall 78 located intermediate the ramp 76 and the volute 58, the dam wall 76 defining the open side 62 of the volute 58 and projecting further inwardly than the innermost ;1 end of the ramp 76 to restrain the passage of the heavier `~' material from the upper end of the ramp 76 to the volute 58.

As shown in Figs. 1 through 4 and beforedescribed, the dis-integrating ring 68 and ramp 76 may be both components affixed to the casing wall 60. Alternatively, however, as shown in Fig. 5, wherein parts similar to those beforedescribed are -~ ~ designated by *he corresponding reference numerals followed ~;~ by the suffix a, the ramp 60a may be formed intergally with the casing wall 60a. Also, as shown in Fig. 6, wherein ; parts similar to those beforedescribed are designated by the corresponding reference numerals followed by the :

- 106;~081 suffix b, the disintegrating ring 68b could be replaced by an annular array of generally diamond-shaped elements 78 affixed on the casing wall 60b around the vanes 48 in a manner similar to that beforedescribed for the ring 68. In this event, of course, the beforedescribed dam means 66 and the remainder of the apparatus, could he as beforedescribed.
During the operation of the apparatus of Figs. 1 through 4 in the disintegrating-and-blowing of pulp for the manufacture of paper, the shaft 22 is continuously rotatably driven to provide continuous driven rotation of the rotor 12, vanes 48, knife-like elements 46 and fan blades 36. Blowing gas is continuously supplied into the gas inlet chamber 32 and ~ ~-` thence passes into the gas chamber 14 where the rotating fan blades 36 direct said gas at relatively high velocity through ., ~ .. .
the annular spaces 18, 74 for blowing disintegrated pulp to the discharge volute 58 and from the housing 10. Pulp to ... .
be processed is continusouly supplied through the conduit 40; and the compacting screw 44 is continuously rotatably driven to compact the pulp into a non-porous plug upstream of the material inlet 38 while simultaneously continuously feeding the compacted pulp plug into the material chamber 16 through the inlet 38. The knife-like elements 46 break-up or shread such supplied pulp;and the broken-up pulp passes outwardly between the inner ends 52 of the vanes 48 into the therebetween passages or pockets 50. The rotation of the vanes 48 accelerates the pulp to relatively high velocity as the pulp passes radially outwardly through the pockets 50 and the pulp is outwardly discharged from the passages 50 between the vane outer ends 54 at the relatively high velocity

dictated by the rotational speed of such outer ends 54.
(The direction of this discharge of the pulp from between the vane outer ends 54 is schematically depicted by the broken arrow shown in Fig. 4 wherein the rotary direction of the rotation of the vanes 48 is schematically shown by the solid arrow.) The discharged pulp is resultantly impacted at its relatively high discharge velocity onto the disinte-grating ring 68.
Such impacting of the pulp on the ring 68 causes the , 10 discharged pulp to be broken-up into smaller, lighter fiber groups, and in some cases even individual fibers, which are thrown inwardly back towards the vane outer ends 54 to a location wherein they are rapidly gas blown over the dam means 66 and out through the discharge volute 58. The heavier bundles of pulp, however, are not gas blown over the .
dam means 66 and, being unable to climb the ramp 76 and pass over the dam wall 78, are repetitively re-impacted with the disintegrating ring 68 until finally broken-up into lighter ~i fiber groups or fibers which can be blown into the discharge volute in the described manner.
As the sides of the pockets 50 adjacent to the volute 58 are open to the latter, recirculation of a portion of the blowing gas back through the pockets 50 is obtained; and thereby disintegrated material conveying is enhanced. Also, as will be seen, as the volute 58 is axially displaced from ~ the vanes 48 whereby the latter are external to the volute ! 58 the space 74 is of constant cross-section excepting s only as its cross-section is varied by the undulating config-3~ uration of the disintegrating ring 68, and resulantly uniform s --11--..~ .

`- 1063081 treatment of the pulp i.n the material chamber 16 is attained.
The pockets of pulp which would otherwise occur at the location of the ramp 76 are prevented by the provision of the latter; and extremely rapid separation of the lighter, disintegrated pulp from the heavier undisintegrated, or only partially disintegrated, pulp is attained due to the great speed at which such lighter pulp is blown from the space 74 to the volute 58.
From the preceeding description, it will be seen that the invention provides new and improved means for attaining all of the beforestated objects and advantages. It will be understood, however, that, although only several embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and hereinbefore specifically described, the invention is not limited merely to these several embodiments, but rather contemplates other . embodiments and variations within the scope of the following clalms .
