zo claim (ci. isi-zi) at a temperature of about 2,400 F., into'a rapidly moving blast of steam. 'I'he fibres thus formed. along with a lesser proportion of unberized and shot-like particles that it is practically impossible to avoid. are carried as a suspension in!v a gas stream into equipment for recovery ofthe suspended solid material from the stream. Thus,
the suspension of'ilbres and shot may be introduced into a large settling chamber and the fibres and shot allowed to settle into a felt on the bottom of the chamber, suitably a moving conveyer belt of air-permeable material. It' is an object of the invention to provide means for separating effectively the desired fibrous material from the incidentally occurring shot-like particles in the suspension described.`
Another object is to recover, that is wash from the separated shot an additional amount of nbres that may be originally entangled therewith. An-
other object of the invention is to form a relatively uniform and coherent felt of the mineral 3u wool libres. A further object is to reduce the size of the blowing chamber required for a given rate of production of silicate wool. Otherobjects and advantages will appear from the description that follows. 1
I The invention comprises the novel features of the method and apparatus herein described', particularly the method of and means for deiiecting completely the stream of gas containing the suspended -iibres and shot-like particles and then 40 felting the ilbres in the upwardly deflected stream. In one embodiment, the invention comprises the washing, by air or other gas'. of the shot-like particles separated by the deection of the suspension of bres. The invention is illustrated in the attached drawing and will be described for the of exempliilcation in connection therewith.
Fig. 1 shows a. side view of my improved apparatus, partly broken away for clearness of illustration.
v l Pig.12 shows a plan view of the same. suspension of mineral wooll fibres with a :"p'roportion. of shot-like particles is blown i Ii'into a somewhat tubular blowing l! that increases substantially in width (between the side. edges is and u) and becomes, progressively, substantially wider than the-thickv -ness ofthetube, thatis. Athan the'distance between the top i! andthe bottom It thereof.' For' instance..I.have used a tube of approximately 5 1 foot diameter aty thefend adjacent to the shredding position il that expands continuously to a maximum width, measured horizontally/,of about 5 feet. A v
`:suitably tbistubumr blow chamber-may be 1oiiojfeet or so in length and may slope upwardly away from the shredding position Il, say at a pitch of about an inch to 'the foot. At thefar end maybe placed the air-permeable felting member 22,' with means'for producing suction 15 therebehind. Y
The suspension of iibres and unflberized materials inthe gas is formed into a flat band as the suspension-moves'through the tube and there is a gradual reduction of the velocity of the 20 stream or band as the tube increases in width. I'his produces separation of the unnberized shotlike particles from the suspended fibres which figg more buoyantand have a lower rate of set- At the z'one indicated generally by i1, there is an upward deflection of the flat band or stream. '111e deflection follows the curvature i8 of the upper wall of the tube. This deflection causes separation of shot-like 30 particles from fibres, 'the said particles tending to continue nearly in their normal trajectories. whereas the relatively buoyant nbres follow closely the direction of lthe deflected stream of las. 35
To wash out those libres that 'may be entangled with the separated shot, there is introduced, into the primary gas stream described. an auxiliary 'stream oi' gas, such as air, through one or more louvers I8. Preferably, there is a 40 'series of louvers each extending substantially completely across the lower portion of the said tube. The louvers are preferably closely adjaf cent to the said zone of deflection of the primary stream and are in'part atleast disposed beyond 45 the point at which thedeiiection begins, on theV convex side of the stream.
The lowest part of the-felting member 22v exposed to the stream is above the plane ofthe straight portion of the top IS of the tube I2; 50
A result of these features described is denec-f tion of the primary stream, generally in thefdi-` rection of -a smooth arc of a circl rf The gas admitted through the louvers fily pro'l duces a progressive or repeated washing of the 55 3. In an apparatus for making mineral wool.'
