A stirring element device, in particular for stirring fluidized beds and/or solid matter mixtures and/or highly viscous suspensions, comprises at least one helical stirrer, which is rotatable around a rotation axis and has at least one winding that runs around the rotation axis, wherein the helical stirrer comprises a base body, which has in at least one cross-sectional view an at least section-wise oval, in particular circle-shaped, outer contour.

The present invention relates to a stirring rod of hot and cold foods supplying machine and an assembled stirring unit thereof. The assembled stirring unit includes an assembled piece and a stirring blade, wherein a length direction of the assembled piece is an axial direction, a direction perpendicular to the axial direction is a radial direction, and the assembled piece has a first joining piece and a second joining piece respectively at two ends thereof in the axial direction. The stirring blade is provided on the assembled piece and extends towards the radial direction, and the stirring blade is twisted at an angle by having the radial direction as an axis. The stirring rod is formed by serially connecting multiple assembled stirring units along the axial direction.

The present invention is concerned with degassing processes, and more specifically with a degassing apparatus and method for removing hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen polysulfides from liquid sulfur in a rapid and efficient manner to result in low residual hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen polysulfide levels. Utilizing a rotodynamic degassing pumping unit, a first fluid, typically in the liquid phase, is pumped or drawn under pressure or vacuum, while a second fluid, typically in a gaseous phase, is pumped or drawn under pressure or vacuum into the first fluid, effecting a chemical reaction. A rotary impeller having a plurality of blades is presented at a submerged location in the liquid sulfur surrounded by a draft-tube. The rotor (impeller) is divided into three distinct blade sections: a) a radial flow section; b) a mixed flow section; and c) an axial flow section. An overflow weir controls the depth of the liquid inside the degasser's housing. The overflow weir includes a corrugated type cross-section, comprising segments split longitudinally and welded lengthwise. The “wavy” or sinusoidal cross-sectional shape or trapezoidal or triangular shape (extending radially inwards) increases the length of the weir, which in turn minimizes the head required, and maximizes the capacity. A novel rotor bearing design is introduced as a means to mitigate excessive deflection of the main shaft. The design removes one of the two rotor bearings of the prior art and places two immersed bearings down the shaft.
