The KAHL Annular Gap Expander consists of a thick-walled mixing tube with replaceable liners and a cantilevered shaft which is fitted with proportioning, mixing and kneading elements. The hydraulically adjustable cone at the outlet together with the outlet ring form the patented annular gap. By means of adjusting the cone, the pressure, the intensity of kneading, the product heating, and the energy consumption can be controlled and programmed continuously and instantaneously. The maximum pressure is about 40 bar, the operating temperatures at the expander outlet are between 90 and 140°C. At the outlet the pressure drops spontaneously, the material expands, and part of the added water evaporates (flash evaporation). Subsequent drying is not required. The particle size of the expanded product can be determined by means of a downstream crushing device.
