Ash Conditioner

DESCRIPTION:
The construction of ash conditioner can be broadly classified under the following heads :
1.Mixing Chamber.
2.Spray System.
3.Drive Unit.

1. MIXING CHAMBER:
The chamber or body of the ash conditioner where the actual conditioning of ash/dust occurs consists of fabricated steel trough, within which parallel mixing shafts are mounted. Replaceable, abrasion resistant mixing paddles are mounted on each shaft. When these shaft turn in counter rotating fashion, the mixing paddles convey the material through the mixing chamber, while thoroughly tumbling and mixing the material.

The mixing action caused by the interweaving action of the paddles causes all surfaces of the material to be exposed to the water sprays. Four numbers adjustable paddles are provided to regulate the residence times of material in the mixer.

Shafts are mounted on anti friction sealed bearings. Sealing blocks are bolted on the chamber to prevent any ingress of ash into the bearing blocks. Lip seals are provided on either sides of sealing blocks, bearing blocks and gear housing for extra protection against ash/dust & water. Counter rotating motion is accomplished by twin spur gears, one mounted on each shaft.
