摘要：Abstract Title: An improved apparatus and method for a plug flow continuous material processing systemA chemical/physical reaction apparatus for continuous processing, comprising a tube (1, figure 1) with a plug flow length with stationary axial baffles (13, figure 3) mounted to provide a continuous gap between the baffles and the tube interior surface, and axial stirrer blades (10, figure 2) which can be driven (8, figure 1) to sweep the gap. Process material can flow orderly through the tube continuously through feed and discharge connections (6 and 7, figure 1). Preferably the apparatus comprises stationary radial baffles which do not extend into the gap. The tube can have covers at its ends and the stirrer blades can be held by a shaft (9, figure 2) passing through one end cover and the axial baffles can be held in position by the opposing end cover. The axial and radial baffles can be joined by interlocking slots to form a rigid assembly without welding, bonding, screws, or bolts, and can be formed of synthetic polymers e.g. polytetrafluoreothylene (PTFE) and mounted on the baffle support shaft (16, figure 4). External jackets (2, figure 1) may be provided for heating/cooling. The material may be subjected to tangential flow which is converted into turbulence and radial mixing.
