ABSTRACT:
The subject matter of the invention relates to apparatus for cooling or drying coarse-grained bulk material, comprising a plurality of trays mounted one above the other for rotation about a common axis, each tray being divided into a plurality of segments adapted to be tilted about a tilt axis extending in a radial direction of said common axis, means supporting said segments in the plane of the respective tray and permitting said segments to be tilted only within a determined angular range of rotation, and means for forcibly tilting each segment within said angular range. In prior art constructions, different means for forcibly tilting each segment in the said angular range have been required, depending on the time required by the feed material to pass through the cooling apparatus and on the number of trays employed in the cooling apparatus. Moreover, the hitherto known means for forcibly tilting the tray segments do not operate satisfactorily if the rotational speed of the trays in the cooling apparatus is increased. The apparatus according to the invention provides a solution to these problems by the use of an adjustable tilt lever.
