Abstract

A device for dispersing of cement such as Portland cement in water to form a solution or dispersion thereof. The device includes a barrel with coaxially arranged wheel and director therein. Upon the hub of the wheel and parallel to its center line wedge-shaped blades are mounted circularly, thereabout the sharp edge of the wedge-shaped blades being oriented in the direction of rotation of the wheel and the radially outer side of the wedge-shaped blades forming acute angles with the direction of movement of the blades. Each acute angle lies between 5° and 30°, and the peripheral speed of the wheel lies in the range of from 10 m/sec to 25 m/sec.

Claims

1. A device for forming and dispersing cement solutions, comprising a vertical barrel, a wheel mounted to rotate about a vertical axis within the barrel generally coaxial thereof and adjacent the bottom thereof, the wheel having a hub, a plurality of first blades mounted on the hub parallel to the axis of the wheel and spaced circularly of the hub, the first blades being wedgeshaped and having sharp edges on the portions thereof which lead during rotation of the wheel, means for feeding and water into the top of the barrel, fixed annular means in the upper part of the barrel coaxial with the wheel for directing the cement and water to the first blades on the wheel.

2. Device according to claim 1, wherein the means for directing the cement and water to the first blades on the wheel has a plurality of second, radially inwardly concave scoop-shaped blades extending parallel to the axis of the wheel.

3. Device according to claim 2, wherein the lower ends of the second blades are disposed above and close to the upper ends of the first blades.

4. Device according to claim 1, wherein the acute angle between the outer side of the first blades and the direction of movement of blades lies between 5°

and 30°

.

5. Device according to claim 4, comprising means for driving the wheel with a peripheral speed in the range of from 10 m/sec. to 15 m/sec.
