Dry nano-sizing equipment with fluid mobility effect dryly processes viewable fine-grained substances into a nano-sized dimension by high-pressure airflow resulted from a pressure-generating unit, as well as high-speed fluid and high mechanical momentum generated in a pressure cylinder by high-speed rotation of a booster impeller.

The present disclosure relates generally to loose fill insulation installation systems, for example, suitable for installing loose fill insulation to an installation site. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a loose fill insulation hose including a first hose section, a second hose section and a first connection module including a first side attached to a distal end of the first hose section and a second side attached to a proximal end of the second hose section. The first connection module includes an interior surface including a conductive area. The loose fill insulation hose also includes a grounding wire electrically connected to the conductive area of the interior surface of the first connection module. The grounding wire is electrically isolated from the internal surface of the first hose section and the internal surface of the second hose section.

A method of processing a heterogeneous material includes entraining heterogeneous particles into a fluid stream. Each of the heterogeneous particles comprises a liquid portion and a solid portion. The fluid stream is passed through at least one adjustable nozzle, and is impacted to dissociate the liquid from the solid. A method of separating oil from solid particles includes mixing oil-coated solid particles with water to form a slurry, passing a first portion of the slurry through a first nozzle, and passing a second portion of the slurry through a second nozzle such that the second portion of the slurry intersects the first portion of the slurry to separate the oil from the particles.

Methods and apparatus for comminution of solid materials. Solid materials are introduced into a first pressure vessel. A working fluid is provided in the first pressure vessel at an operating pressure and an operating temperature. The working fluid is allowed to permeate into the solid materials. The working fluid may permeate into the solid materials while in a supercritical fluid phase. The working fluid is rapidly expanded to thereby create fractured solid materials from the solid materials. Rapidly expanding the working fluid may comprise causing a transition of the working fluid from a supercritical phase with a first density to a subcritical vapour phase with a second density.

Method for processing organic material is disclosed which breaks down the inedible components of fruit and vegetables (core, skin, pips, pithy material) into an edible substance with a cream-like consistency. The method includes pressurizing the material and forcing it through a passage having a number of end-to-end sections which are at right angles to one another. The material as it emerges from each section impacts on the impact surface at the end of each section and changes direction and flows into the next section of the series.

A comminution system for heterogeneous materials includes pumps, a source of liquid in fluid communication with the pumps, a source of heterogeneous material, a mixer to combine the heterogeneous material and the liquid, and nozzles in fluid communication with the pumps, respectively. The pumps are in straight-line alignment with the nozzles. The nozzles receiving the heterogeneous material combined with the liquid direct the combined slurry to an impact zone where the fractions of the heterogeneous material are disassociated.

Ore rock is disintegrated into extremely fine rock fraction in a slurry by subjecting the slurry in selective orders of application of excitation forces and energy to cause spontaneous cavitation to occur in the slurry. The excitation forces and energy are provided by electrodynamic discharges, hydrostatic force, hydrodynamic energy, and sonic vibrations.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for winnowing. In one aspect, a method includes loading an initial material into a winnowing system via a feed member; feeding the material into a fluidically accelerated winnowing cavity, where the initial material impacts at least one plate member to yield chaff material and processed material, and where the processed material and the chaff material circulate in the winnowing cavity; and separating the chaff material and the processed from the winnowing cavity based on density. Other aspects include yielding intermediate material, where the intermediate material reimpacts the at least one plate member until yielding chaff material and processed material, preprocessing the initial material, controlling the flow of initial material into the winnowing cavity with a feed gate, where the chaff material egresses the winnowing cavity via a chaff chute, where the chaff material collects in a collection cavity, and/or more.
