Definitions
- This invention pertains to mixing apparatus, and more particularly to apparatus for continuously blending powders with a liquid.
- the blender of the 3,606,270 patent is somewhat limited in its ability to handle high viscosity liquid-powder end products. That is because, as the end product viscosity increases, the blender outlet pressure decreases and the vacuum created in the eye of the blender impeller becomes quite low. Consequently, the amount of powder drawn into the impeller decreases and yields a higher ratio of liquid to powder than is desired. To alleviate that problem, the screen that normally surrounds the impeller periphery may be removed, but then the mixing action produced by the liquid and powder flowing through the screen becomes unavailable. Accordingly, blender performance and product consistency occasionally become unacceptable at high end product viscosities.
- a liquid-solid particulate blender that efficiently mixes and discharges high viscosity end products. This is accomplished by apparatus that includes a second stage mixing zone that assists drawing the liquid-powder mixture from the first stage and that increases the blender outlet pressure.
- the liquid and powder are blended in a known fashion.
- Liquid is pumped tangentially around a diffuser tube and into the first stage mixing zone in the same direction as the rotation of a blender impeller.
- the liquid is introduced at the leading edge of the impeller, which has a central recess radially inwardly from the impeller vanes.
- the impeller accelerates the liquid radially outwardly, thereby creating a vacuum at the central recess.
- the natural suction created at the impeller recess pulls the powder from a storage hopper to the recess through the diffuser tube. Powder and liquid mixing occur as they are accelerated radially outwardly by the impeller.
- the mixture is forced through an annular screen surrounding the impeller periphery, thereby further mixing the ingredients.
- the liquid and powder leaving the first stage mixing zone are discharged to the second stage mixing zone that is in series with the first stage.
- the mixture is directed downwardly and radially inwardly after leaving the first stage annular screen.
- Simple baffles create an internal passage through which the mixture from the first stage enters the central recess of a second stage impeller.
- the second stage impeller again accelerates the mixture radially outwardly and through a second stage annular screen.
- the vacuum produced at the first stage impeller recess is enhanced, and the flow of powder into the first stage mixing zone remains relatively constant, even with high viscosity end products.
- the second stage increases the blender outlet pressure to provide increased flow notwithstanding high viscosity end products.
- the baffles between the first and second mixing zones are designed to permit cleaning in place the blender first stage mixing zone.
- a clearance is provided between the first stage impeller and the baffle member adjacent thereto. Accordingly, the blender may be flushed and cleaned without complete disassembly, thereby reducing lost production time.
- a two-stage blender 1 is illustrated that includes the present invention.
- the blender is particularly useful for mixing liquid and solid food and beverage ingredients into a high viscosity edible end product.
- the invention is not limited to sanitary applications.
- the blender 1 is used in connection with an electric motor, drive system, and storage hopper that are not illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.
- the motor, drive and hopper are described in U.S. Patent No. 3,606,270, which is incorporated by reference herein.
- the blender may be supported on a stand, not shown, by posts 3 that are attached to a bottom ring 5.
- the hopper for storing particulate solids, which may be in the form of powders.
- the powder enters the blender by means of diffuser tube 7.
- the lower end 9 of the diffuser tube 7 is provided with an annular flange 11.
- the upper surface of the flange 11 is shaped with a radius 21 that approximates the radius 23 of the inner surface of the blender casing inlet 15 adjacent the flange 11.
- the diffuser tube 7 is concentrically located within the blender casing inlet 15.
- the blender 1 includes a first stage mixing zone 16 bounded by the casing 44.
- the casing 44 is one piece, an alternate construction could employ a two-piece casing split, for example, along line 45.
- the components within the first stage mixing zone 16 comprise a first stage impeller 27, which, as best shown in Fig. 2, may have four vanes 28.
- the vanes 28 extend radially outwardly from a central hub 30 having a length less than the height of the vanes, thereby forming a central recess 33.
- the lower end 9 of the diffuser tube 7 extends into the recess 33.
- the impeller 27 is attached to a drive shaft 29 for rotation therewith by an electric motor and drive system.
- the first stage impeller 27 is secured to the end of the shaft 29 by a screw 31 through a washer 71.
- Surrounding the periphery of the impeller 27 is a first stage annular screen 37.
- the first stage annular screen 37 rests on an upper baffle member 35 that has four equally spaced tabs 72 on the outer circumference of the upper baffle member 35.

Abstract
Description
- This invention pertains to mixing apparatus, and more particularly to apparatus for continuously blending powders with a liquid.
- Exemplary apparatus for blending liquids and particulate solids is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,606,270. That blender has met with considerable commercial success.
- However, the blender of the 3,606,270 patent is somewhat limited in its ability to handle high viscosity liquid-powder end products. That is because, as the end product viscosity increases, the blender outlet pressure decreases and the vacuum created in the eye of the blender impeller becomes quite low. Consequently, the amount of powder drawn into the impeller decreases and yields a higher ratio of liquid to powder than is desired. To alleviate that problem, the screen that normally surrounds the impeller periphery may be removed, but then the mixing action produced by the liquid and powder flowing through the screen becomes unavailable. Accordingly, blender performance and product consistency occasionally become unacceptable at high end product viscosities.
- Thus, a need exists for a blender capable of handling high viscosity liquid-powder end products.
- In accordance with the present invention, a liquid-solid particulate blender is provided that efficiently mixes and discharges high viscosity end products. This is accomplished by apparatus that includes a second stage mixing zone that assists drawing the liquid-powder mixture from the first stage and that increases the blender outlet pressure.
- In the first stage mixing zone the liquid and powder are blended in a known fashion. Liquid is pumped tangentially around a diffuser tube and into the first stage mixing zone in the same direction as the rotation of a blender impeller. The liquid is introduced at the leading edge of the impeller, which has a central recess radially inwardly from the impeller vanes. The impeller accelerates the liquid radially outwardly, thereby creating a vacuum at the central recess. The natural suction created at the impeller recess pulls the powder from a storage hopper to the recess through the diffuser tube. Powder and liquid mixing occur as they are accelerated radially outwardly by the impeller. The mixture is forced through an annular screen surrounding the impeller periphery, thereby further mixing the ingredients.
- The liquid and powder leaving the first stage mixing zone are discharged to the second stage mixing zone that is in series with the first stage. The mixture is directed downwardly and radially inwardly after leaving the first stage annular screen. Simple baffles create an internal passage through which the mixture from the first stage enters the central recess of a second stage impeller. The second stage impeller again accelerates the mixture radially outwardly and through a second stage annular screen. As a result of the operation of the second stage mixing zone, the vacuum produced at the first stage impeller recess is enhanced, and the flow of powder into the first stage mixing zone remains relatively constant, even with high viscosity end products. Moreover, the second stage increases the blender outlet pressure to provide increased flow notwithstanding high viscosity end products.
- Further in accordance with the present invention, the baffles between the first and second mixing zones are designed to permit cleaning in place the blender first stage mixing zone. For that purpose, a clearance is provided between the first stage impeller and the baffle member adjacent thereto. Accordingly, the blender may be flushed and cleaned without complete disassembly, thereby reducing lost production time.

- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along lines 2-2 of Fig. 1; and

- Although the disclosure hereof is detailed and exact to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, the physical embodiments herein disclosed merely exemplify the invention which may be embodied in other specific structure. The scope of the invention is defined in the claims appended hereto.
- Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, a two-
stage blender 1 is illustrated that includes the present invention. The blender is particularly useful for mixing liquid and solid food and beverage ingredients into a high viscosity edible end product. However, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to sanitary applications. - The
blender 1 is used in connection with an electric motor, drive system, and storage hopper that are not illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. The motor, drive and hopper are described in U.S. Patent No. 3,606,270, which is incorporated by reference herein. The blender may be supported on a stand, not shown, by posts 3 that are attached to a bottom ring 5. - Located above the
blender 1 is the hopper for storing particulate solids, which may be in the form of powders. The powder enters the blender by means of diffuser tube 7. The lower end 9 of the diffuser tube 7 is provided with an annular flange 11. The upper surface of the flange 11 is shaped with a radius 21 that approximates the radius 23 of the inner surface of theblender casing inlet 15 adjacent the flange 11. The diffuser tube 7 is concentrically located within theblender casing inlet 15. - The
blender 1 includes a firststage mixing zone 16 bounded by thecasing 44. Although in the disclosed construction thecasing 44 is one piece, an alternate construction could employ a two-piece casing split, for example, alongline 45. - The components within the first
stage mixing zone 16 comprise a first stage impeller 27, which, as best shown in Fig. 2, may have fourvanes 28. Thevanes 28 extend radially outwardly from a central hub 30 having a length less than the height of the vanes, thereby forming a central recess 33. As illustrated, the lower end 9 of the diffuser tube 7 extends into the recess 33. The impeller 27 is attached to a drive shaft 29 for rotation therewith by an electric motor and drive system. The first stage impeller 27 is secured to the end of the shaft 29 by a screw 31 through awasher 71. Surrounding the periphery of the impeller 27 is a first stage annular screen 37. The first stage annular screen 37 rests on an upper baffle member 35 that has four equally spaced tabs 72 on the outer circumference of the upper baffle member 35. Apin 73 is fixedly attached to the first stage annular screen 37 extending below the bottom of the first stage annular screen 37 and abutting against one of the four equally spaced tabs 72 of the circular plate 35 to prevent rotation of the first stage annular screen 37. Thecasing 44 bounding the firststage mixing zone 16 is fabricated with a wall 38 that is radially spaced outwardly from the screen 37 to create a first discharge volume 39. - In accordance with the present invention, the
blender 1 further includes a secondstage mixing zone 41. The secondstage mixing zone 41 is bounded by thecommon casing 44 and includes asecond impeller 43 secured for rotation to the shaft 29. Thesecond stage impeller 43 is separated from the first stage impeller 27 by spacer 74 that fits concentrically around shaft 29. Thesecond stage impeller 43 is generally similar to the first stage impeller 27, having a central recess 48 and several vanes 52 radiating therefrom. However, the second stage impeller vanes 52 extend radially inwardly farther than thevanes 28 of the first stage impeller 27, so that the second sta ge recess 48 is smaller than the first stage recess 33. The periphery of theimpeller 43 is surrounded by a second stageannular screen 45. The second stageannular screen 45 rests on acircular plate 70 to which is fixedly attached the support ring 5. The shaft 29 extends through a sealing means 50 in thecircular plate 70.Casing 44 has awall portion 46 that is radially spaced outwardly from thescreen 45 to create asecond discharge outlet 47. Thecasing 44 and the support ring 5 may be releasably joined to each other by means of a quick-couple connector 49. - In the illustrated construction, a passage 51 is formed between the first and
second mixing zones wall portion 57 of thecasing 44 completes the contours of the passage 51. The lower member 55 has provisions to receive a pin 74 that is fixedly attached to the upper portion of the second stageannular screen 45 to prevent rotation of the second stage annular screen.Slots 75 are formed incasing 44 to prevent the rotation of the lower member 55. - Further in accordance with the present invention, the first
stage mixing zone 16 is constructed so that the components thereof may be cleaned in place. For that purpose, the impeller 27 and upper baffle member 35 are located with respect to each other such that a radial clearance 58 and an axial clearance 60 exist between the impeller 27 and upper baffle member 35. The clearances 58 and 60 are sized to permit only minimal amounts of the powder-liquid mixture to pass through the clearances, but to allow passage of sufficient flushing fluid to permit cleaning the components without disassembling them. As a result, the first stage mixing zone of theblender 1 of the present invention may be cleaned with only minimum loss of production time. - In operation, the
blender 1 of the present invention mixes liquids and powders into end products having higher viscosities than can be handled by single stage blenders. Liquid is introduced into the blenderfirst stage 16 through the hollow cylindrical space 13 that is located between the diffuser tube 7 and theblender casing inlet 15. The entering liquid has a rotational component of motion about the central axis 17 and a downward component of motion, as indicated by arrows 19. When the liquid strikes the radius 21 of the flange 11, it is deflected radially outwardly, as indicated by the arrow 25. The rotational motion of the incoming liquid is in the same direction as the rotation of the impeller 27. - The impeller 27 imparts a radially outward acceleration to the liquid. Simultaneously, the impeller creates a natural vacuum within the recess 33, thereby drawing particulate solids from the hopper through the diffuser tube 7 and into the recess 33, as indicated by arrow 34. The solids are then accelerated outwardly by the
impeller vanes 28,arrow 36, and they are mixed with the liquid. The mixture is forced through the first stage screen 37, which further mixes the ingredients. As illustrated by arrows 59, the mixture discharged from the firststage mixing zone 16 is diverted downwardly by the casing wall 38 into the passage 51. The baffles composed of the members 35 and 55 and thecasing wall 57 direct the mixture radially inwardly toward axis 17 and into the recess 48 of the second stage mixingzone impeller 43, as indicated by arrows 61. From the second mixing zone recess 48, theimpeller 43 again accelerates the mixture radially outward. Finally, the mixture is forced through thesecond stage screen 45 and into thedischarge outlet 47, arrow 63. - The addition of the
second stage 41 of theblender 1 o f the present invention enhances the vacuum produced at the first stage recess 33, thereby drawing the particulate solids through the diffuser tube 7 in a uniform manner, even with high viscosity end products. Referring to Fig. 3, the improved performance of the twostage blender 1 is graphically illustrated.Curves 67a and 69a qualitatively depict, for two certain typical operating conditions, the changes in vacuum at the first stage recess 33 with change in product flow. The decrease in vacuum with increased product flow corresponds to a decreased powder-to-liquid ratio, i.e., with less vacuum, less powder is pulled from the hopper at a particular liquid flow. Consequently, the end product consistency and ingredient ratio may fall outside the formula specification.Curves 67b and 69b qualitatively depict the performance of the twostage blender 1 of the present invention under the same operating conditions ascurves 67a and 69a, respectively. The volume at the first stage mixing recess 33 remains relatively constant with increased product flow, thus ensuring proper ingredient ratios even at high end product viscosities. Further, thesecond stage 41 increases the discharge pressure at thedischarge outlet 47, thereby overcoming the problems associated with mixing high viscosity end products in a single stage blender. - Thus, it is apparent that there has been provided, in accordance with the invention, a two stage blender that fully satisfies the aims and advantages set forth above. While the specification has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications, and variations as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.
