ABSTRACT:
A rotary drum configured for the efficient blending, cooling, and screening of granular products having an outer cylindrical shell, an intake end, and an exit or discharge end. The rotary drum is normally rotated at a predetermined speed by a conventional drive package. Disposed on an inner surface of the cylindrical shell is a plurality of compound helical flights and scoops or lifts, configured to blend granular product as it cascades from the intake end to the discharge or exit end of the rotary drum. A coaxially disposed cylindrical air passage adjacent the discharge end of the rotary drum, comprising an inner cylinder, that directs a counter flow of cooling air through the rotary drum towards the intake end, for cooling the cascading granular product as it approaches the screening segment of the rotary drum. The rotary drum having a plurality of discharge ports and grading screens just before its discharge end, provided in the surface of the outer cylindrical shell adjacent to the discharge end, to allow for the passage of air for attaining dust collection, while the counter flowing cooling air passes through the internally arranged inner cylinder to achieve the cooling effect within the rotary drum.
