Inclined rotating disc

An inclined rotating disc with low cylindrical rim for GROWTH AGGLOMERATION. 

Equipment for tumble/growth agglomeralion (a) inclined rotating disc, (b) inclined rotating drum, (c) ribbon powder blender, and (d) fluidized bed. 

Anaerobic reactor types 1, up-flow anaerobic sludge bed 2, anaerobic fluidized bed 3, anaerobic filter 4, anaerobic rotating disc 5, inclined tubular digester (6, pre-acidification tank)... 

Also DISC. An inclined rotating circular plate with low cylindrical RIM for GROWTH AGGLOMERATION. 

This type of flow meter is normally used for water service, such as raw water supply and evaporator feed. The movable element is a circular disk which is attached to a central ball. A shaft is fastened to the ball and held in an inclined position by a cam or roller. The disk is mounted in a chamber which has spherical side walls and conical top and bottom surfaces. The fluid enters an opening in the spherical wall on one side of the partition and leaves through the other side. As the fluid flows through the chamber, the disk wobbles, or executes a nutating motion. Since the volume of fluid required to make the disc complete one revolution is known, the total flow through a nutating disc can be calculated by multiplying the number of disc rotations by the known volume of fluid. 

The rotational speed of inclined discs is normally considered in relation to the critical speed, Nc (min-1), of the agglomerator ... 

Cone pelletizer (Figure 121) This machine uses a vessel in the form of a truncated cone rotating around its axis. It combines the characteristics of both the inclined disc and the horizontal drum by featuring the typical classifying action of the disc and the higher peripheral speed of the drum. The latter results... 

A similar function to that of the screw press, i.e. the expression of liquids contained in natural products, can be achieved by means of rollers, or vertically mounted discs (rotating on axes slightly inclined down from the horizontal so that there is a pinch zone at the bottom of Ihe rotation) - but neither is a filtration prcxress.
