Embodiment Construction
[0133] The applicant has solved the problems associated with the use of an apparatus for treating substrates with solid particulate material, in particular the difficulties associated with foreign objects clogging or obstructing the flow of solid particulate material within the apparatus.
[0134] Referring now to the drawings, an apparatus 100 according to the present invention typically includes an outer housing or cover 10 which may include a front 10a, back 10b, top 10c, bottom 10d and sides 10e, 10f. Figure 1B One device of the invention is shown with the front face 10a of the outer casing 10 removed.
[0135]Apparatus 100 also includes a perforated drum or cage 12 . When the apparatus 100 is in use, the drum 12 contains the substrate(s) therein to be processed, eg, cleaned. The drum 12 is preferably mounted for rotation about a horizontal or substantially horizontal axis, and the substrate to be treated is introduced into the drum 12 to contact the solid particulate ma...

The invention relates to an apparatus (100) for treating one or more substrates with a multiplicity of solid particles comprising: a rotatably mounted drum (12) arranged to contain said multiplicity of solid particles and said one or more substrates during treatment of the one or more substrates; a collecting volume (22) for collecting said multiplicity of solid particles exiting the drum (12); a circulation path (L) for conveying said multiplicity of solid particles from the collecting volume (22) to the drum (12), the circulation path (L) having a downward portion in which the multiplicity of solid particles move along a downward flow path; a separating device (200) arranged in said downward portion of the collecting path for intercepting and / or capturing one or more foreign objects while permitting flow of said multiplicity of solid particles along the circulation path (L), the separating device (200) comprising: a sloping surface (202a, 202b) and a transfer flow path (208a, 208b) for said solid particles said transfer flow path permitting flow of said multiplicity of solid particles between an upper side of said separating device (200) and a portion of the circulation path external to the separating device (200), wherein said transfer flow path (208a, 208b) comprises an envelope extending from an inlet opening (210A) to an outlet opening (210B), and bounded by a portion of the sloping surface and at least one envelope wall and wherein within the envelope between the inlet opening (210A) and the outlet opening (210B) no straight line longer than a predetermined length can extend without intersecting the at least one envelope wall or sloping surface, said predetermined length being less than a maximum dimension of the smallest foreign object which the separating device (200) is configured to intercept or capture.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a treatment facility using solid particulate material (also referred to herein as "mass solids"). The treatment device can be used to clean soiled substrates and may only require the use of limited amounts of energy, water and detergent compared to conventional cleaning devices, especially conventional washing machines. More specifically, the invention relates to a device comprising separation means for intercepting and / or capturing foreign objects in a circulation channel. The separation device also provides a transfer flow path for the solid particulate material to circulate within the processing facility. The invention also relates to a method of treating one or more substrates with a plurality of solid particles using the apparatus. Background technique [0002] Aqueous cleaning is the backbone of conventional household and industrial fabric laundering methods. The efficiency of such conventional methods is usual...
