Claims
- 1. A slurry dispenser, comprising:
- a housing having two openings;
- two reservoirs provided within said housing for holding a slurry;
- two rotating mechanisms; and
- two wheels within said housing, said wheels engaged to rotate with said rotating mechanisms, said wheels including disk portions and conduits for carrying said slurry from said reservoirs to said disk portions, such that when said wheels are rotating, a stream of slurry is forced up said conduits into said disk portions and dispensed cooperatively as a spray by said disk portions through said openings, providing an even distribution of slurry.
- 2. A slurry dispenser as in claim 1, wherein said rotating mechanisms are operated to rotate said wheels in opposite directions.
- 3. A slurry dispenser as in claim 1, wherein said conduits of said wheels comprise conical portions inserted into said reservoirs.
- 4. A slurry dispenser as in claim 1, wherein said rotating mechanisms comprise variable speed motors.
- 5. A slurry dispenser as in claim 1, wherein said wheels and said housing comprises material chemically inert with respect to said slurry.
- 6. A slurry dispenser as in claim 5, wherein said material comprises polypropylene.
- 7. A slurry dispenser as in claim 5, wherein said material comprises polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).
- 8. A slurry dispenser as in claim 5, wherein said material comprises a polytetrafluoroethylene coating.
- 9. A slurry dispenser as in claim 1, further comprising slurry inlets for providing continuous supplies of slurry into said reservoirs.
- 10. A slurry dispenser as in claim 1, further comprising:
- a sliding door with an open and a closed position, such that in the closed position, the sliding door covers said openings in said housing,
- an air cylinder operating said sliding door; and
- water inlet lines for providing cleaning water to said housing.
- 11. A slurry dispenser as in claim 10, further comprising drain lines and drain valves for emptying said housing after cleaning.
- 12. A slurry dispenser as in claim 10, further comprising gutters attached to said sliding door such that when said sliding door is in the open position, the gutters project over said openings.
