Abstract: A device and method particularly suitable for separating particulate matter in a molten salt or molten metal bath from the bath. The device comprises a unitary bowl and pump structure adapted to be immersed into and rotated in a pool of the bath, and to draw into the bowl the bath and particulate matter when the bowl is rotated. With rotation of the bowl, the particulate matter, in large measure, is collected in a concentrated form in the bowl while the bath, which is now largely depleted of particulate matter, is discharged from the bowl. To remove the particulate matter, and any bath entrapped therewith, from the bowl, the bowl is removed from the bath and a blade means is inserted into the bowl to scrape the particulate matter from the bowl. The particulate matter falls from the bowl through an opening provided in the lower end thereof. After the particulate matter is removed from the bowl, the bowl is returned to the bath for another cycle of collection and particle removal.

Abstract translation: 特别适用于从熔池中分离熔融盐或熔融金属浴中的颗粒物质的装置和方法。 该装置包括一个整体的碗和泵结构，其适于浸入浴池中并在其中旋转，并且当碗旋转时，将碗和微粒物质吸入碗中。 随着碗的旋转，在很大程度上，颗粒物质以浓缩形式收集在碗中，而现在大量耗尽颗粒物质的浴从碗排出。 为了从碗中除去颗粒状物质和与其夹带的任何浴液，将碗从浴中取出，并且将刀片装置插入到碗中以从碗中刮除颗粒物质。 颗粒物从碗中通过设置在其下端的开口落下。 在从碗中取出颗粒物质之后，将碗返回到浴中以进行另外的收集和除去颗粒的循环。
