Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
IN A PROCESS FOR WET PELLETIZING CARBON BLACK IN A PELLETIZING APPARATUS COMPRISING AN ELONGATED CYLINDRICAL HOUSING HAVING A LONGITUDINAL AXIS ON WHICH A CENTRALLY POSITIONED PIN SHAFT ROTATES, THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISING: A. INTRODUCING CARBON BLACK AND A PELLETIZING LIQUID INTO A LOWER INLET OF SAID PELLETIZER HAVING SAID LONGITUDINAL AXIS SUBSTANTIALLY VERTICALY POSITIONED; B. ROTATING SAID PIN SHAFT TO MOVE SAID CARBON BLACK AND LIQUID VERTICALLY UPWARDLY THROUGH SAID PELLETIZER WHILE FORMING CARBON BLACK PELLETS THEREIN; AND C. REMOVING FROM AN UPPER EXIT OF SAID PELLETIZER, CARBON BLACK PELLETS HAVING A HIGHER BULK DENSITY, INCREASED STRENGTH, INCREASED ABRASION RESISTANCE AND REQUIRING LESS PELLETIZING LIQUID THAN WHEN SAID CARBON BLACK AND PELLETIZING LIQUID ARE SO TREATED IN A CONVENTIONAL HORIZONTALLY POSITIONED PELLETIZER.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
