This invention relates to an atomizer wheel for the atomization of suspensions of hard-wearing materials and of the type which concentrically with the hub of the wheel has an annular bowl-shaped space in the substantially cylindrical outer wall of which there are provided a plurality of discharge openings having linings of a wear-resistant sintered material.
In this case "sintered material" means a material where the hard grains are stably interconnected no matter whether such interconnection has been effected by fusing together the surfaces of the grains or by embedding the grains in some basic substance such as, by way of example, is being used in the manufacture of wolfram carbide bodies.
In the atomization of suspensions which contain solid particles of a hard material, especially sharp edged particles, for example a suspension of ceramic clay, a very hard the an outer position closed close to the outer wall 3, whilst while the lighter parts, i.e. the liquid will lie innermost. In this manner the surroundings of the bushings 7 are quickly filled with a layer of these solid particles which will thus protect the material of the wheel proper from wear.
A certain wearing effect may occur at the bottom of the space 2 and primarily at the vicinity of the bordering line 8 for the material deposited on the outer wall 3. For the purpose of preventing the wheel from being quickly ruined by this wearing effect, an annular plate 9 of a wear-resistant material is embedded at the bottom of the space. If deemed appropriate, this material may likewise be a hard sintered material but since this area is subject to somewhat less wear it will often suffice to use a wear-resistant metal alloy, for example a wear-resistant type of steel.
The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 differs from that shown in FIG. 1 in that instead of the annular plate 9 a layer 10 of a wear-resistant material has been applied to the bottom of the space 2, said layer extending a distance upwardly along the hub 1. Since the said layer is not replaceable in the same manner as that used in FIG. 1, it may be expedient that said layer consists of a wear-resistant sintered material.
FIG. 4 shows a modified embodiment of the bushings having square cross-section instead of circular cross-section as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. The bushings are tapered at least over part of its length 11 corresponding to the conical part of the bushings 7 in FIGS. 1 and 3.
The bottom of the annular space may be conically sloping outwards from the hub 1 as indicated in FIG. 1 by means of a dotted line 12.
