Abstract

Abstract Equipment for the continuous production of synthetic resins for the varnish industry, comprises a fixed upright cylindrical reactor having a plurality of superposed trays therein and a central vertical rotating shaft. Each tray has upstanding therefrom a cylindrical side wall, and radially inwardly of the cylindrical side wall a cylindrical dividing element of lesser height than the side wall, and radially inwardly of the dividing element a cylindrical overflow element of lesser height than the dividing element. Material overflowing the overflow element passes centrally downwardly to the next tray, where it lands on a spary disc that overlies a central portion of the tray so as to direct material to the space between the outer wall and the dividing element, the material then passing over the dividing element and over the overflow element in a circuitous radially inwardly progressing path, to the next tray down and so on. Mixers carried by the rotating shaft extend radially outwardly between the spray disc and the dividing element and have downwardly depending mixing blades on both sides of the dividing element. The beginning mixture enters the top of the cylindrical reactor and the product is removed from the bottom. Gas is introduced intermediate the height of the reactor and leaves through the top.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim 35 words
Equipment as claimed in claim 1, said mixing element comprising a member extending radially outwardly from said shaft over said dividing element and having stirrers that extend downwardly on either side of said dividing element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 25 words
Equipment as claimed in claim 1, and a further overflow element radially inwardly of the first mentioned overflow element on the lowermost of said trays.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 62 words
