Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for operating an apparatus with at least one rotating shaft, the at least one rotating shaft comprising functional elements which act on material to be processed in the apparatus, the apparatus comprising a filling orifice and an outlet orifice with an adjustable lower edge, and material being conveyed continuously through the apparatus from the filling orifice to the outlet orifice, said method comprising the following steps: a) measuring load data for the at least one rotating shaft in order to determine shaft load, b) lowering the lower edge of the outlet orifice and/or reducing the quantity of material supplied if the shaft load exceeds a specified maximum load, or displacing the lower edge of the outlet orifice upwards and/or increasing the quantity of material supplied if the shaft load is less than a specified shaft load.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for operating an apparatus ( 1 ) with at least one rotating shaft ( 5 ), the at least one rotating shaft ( 5 ) comprising functional elements ( 7 ) which act on material to be processed in the apparatus ( 1 ), the apparatus ( 1 ) comprising a filling orifice ( 15 ) and an outlet orifice ( 9 ) with an adjustable lower edge ( 13 ), and material being conveyed continuously through the apparatus ( 1 ) from the filling orifice ( 15 ) to the outlet orifice ( 9 ), said method comprising the following steps: (a) measuring load data for the at least one rotating shaft ( 5 ) in order to determine shaft load, (b) lowering the lower edge ( 13 ) of the outlet orifice ( 9 ) and/or reducing a quantity of material supplied through the filling orifice ( 15 ) if the shaft load exceeds a specified maximum load, or displacing the lower edge ( 13 ) of the outlet orifice ( 9 ) upwards and/or increasing the quantity of material supplied through the filling orifice ( 15 ) if the shaft load is less than a specified shaft load, wherein the load data comprise a rotational speed of the shaft ( 5 ), a motor power for driving the shaft ( 5 ), and shaft ( 5 ) deflection values; and wherein the deflection values are determined by determining a distance between the shaft ends and determining the deflection of the shaft ( 5 ) on the basis of a change in said distance. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lower edge ( 13 ) of the outlet orifice ( 9 ) is formed by a displaceable weir and, in order to lower the lower edge ( 13 ) of the outlet orifice ( 9 ), the weir ( 11 ) is moved downwards and, in order to displace the lower edge ( 13 ) of the outlet orifice ( 9 ) upwards, the weir ( 11 ) is moved upwards. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the maximum load and the specified shaft load, up to which the lower edge ( 13 ) of the outlet orifice ( 9 ) is displaced upwards and/or the quantity of material supplied is increased, is stored in a control unit ( 19 ) for adjusting the lower edge ( 13 ) of the outlet orifice ( 9 ). 4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the apparatus ( 1 ) with at least one rotating shaft ( 5 ) is a kneader or a paddle dryer. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the apparatus ( 1 ) is used for producing poly(meth)acrylates.
