DEFINITION

Classification: 366/336

STATIONARY DEFLECTOR (DIVIDING AND RECOMBINING TYPE) IN FLOW-THROUGH MIXING CHAMBER:

(under the class definition) Apparatus and corresponding methods including a mixing chamber designed to receive the material at one end of a closed path and to discharge it at the other end in a continuous flow and a device positioned in the path so as to divert or separate a portion of the stream of material in the path relative to other portions and then permit the portions to recombine so as to commingle.

(1) Note. The flow of material may, by disclosure, be either under the force of gravity or an applied force.
