    摘要: A device for producing dry ice pellets comprises a pressing cylinder, into which an inlet opening for feeding liquid carbon dioxide leads and which is equipped with a die, which has one or more openings, and with a piston, which is longitudinally movable in the pressing cylinder. Liquid carbon dioxide is fed to the pressing cylinder, is expanded at the inlet opening, is at least partially converted into carbon dioxide snow and is pressed against and through the die by the movement of the piston. The die is in the form of a cylindrical body that can be connected to the pressing cylinder and is equipped with feed-throughs, which are oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis of the die and are dimensioned in such a way that the length and the diameters of the feed-throughs correspond to the length and the diameters of the dry ice pellets to be produced.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for producing a powdered porous product from at least one starting powdery and/or viscous product, characterised in that it comprises the continuous following steps without exposing the product to open air: a) preparing the starting product in order to make it viscous; b) in a thermo-mechanical machine (10) for continuously realising transport and/or mixing functions of viscous products or dry-material rich products, lowering the viscosity of the viscous product without changing its dry-material content, by intimate mixing with a gas injected into the processing machine (10) and simultaneously initiating the porosity in the viscous product; c) continuously with the processing machine (10), statically or dynamically intensifying the intimate mixture of the viscous product with a gas in order to obtain an aerated and porous mass; and d), dividing said mass in order to obtain aerated and porous particles.

    摘要: Methods of simultaneously forming feed particles of different densities involves extruding a heated feed through an extruder having an extruder die defining a plurality of die openings. A first plurality of the die openings comprises a land length that is at least two times as long compared to a diameter of a respective die opening. A second plurality of the die openings comprises a land length that is equal to or less than a diameter of a respective die opening. Extrusion through the first plurality of the die forms extruded ribbons with a first density, while extrusion through the second plurality of the die openings forms extruded ribbons with a second density that is lower than the first density. The method proceeds by cutting the first and second plurality of extruded ribbons to simultaneously form feed particles of the first and second densities.
