Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the continuous kinematic high-frequency treatment of a substance or mixture of substances in the form of a cylindrical arrangement of at least two comminuting organ rings, which are seated on holders, enclosing, rotatable in opposite directions relative to one another, and a method for producing this device.
  • a device for example from CH-A-604 894 and is based on a method and device for continuous kinematic high-frequency treatment of a substance or mixture of substances developed by Professor Willems and described in numerous patents. On the basis of these patents, a number of laboratory devices have been developed which are sold by the applicant.
  • a similar device is also described in GB-A-806,085, the peculiarities of which are the close arrangement of the surfaces or teeth which pass each other and the constant number of teeth arranged in rings in each of these rings.
  • These devices consist of a stator and a rotor rotating therein, the stator generally having slots and the rotor in some cases consisting of two blades provided with a cutting edge or can also consist of a comminution organ ring.
  • the slots are milled in, the slot width being relatively large due to this processing method.
  • the slot width is as small as possible, but the manufacture of such narrow slots by conventional mechanical means is either very difficult to carry out or involves high costs or is not possible at all and then there is great risk that individual teeth break off due to vibrations, which can destroy the entire device.
  • the risk of vibration could be reduced by using rounded cutters, their wedge effect means that only relatively wide slots of can be milled much more than 1 mm.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show the stator 2 fastened to the housing 1 and the rotor 3 lying above it in FIG. 1 and rotating therein.
  • the stator holder 2 has a two-part holder 4, 5, on which the comminution member rings 6, 7 are arranged.
  • the rotor also has a two-part holder 8, 9 to which the comminution member rings 10, 11 are attached.
  • the two holder pieces 4, 5 are connected to one another via the schematically illustrated weld seam 12.
  • the separate production and processing of the holder pieces with the comminution organ rings is particularly advantageous if the comminution organ rings have teeth or slots of different numbers and sizes.
  • the slots 15 on the inner comminution member 5 of the stator will also be produced by means of the laser device, these also being closed towards the free end. After making the slots, the two holder pieces are welded together.
  • the production of such slits by means of a CO2 laser also has the advantage that the edges or the narrow sides 16 of the slits have a rectangular profile, as a result of which a perfect flow is ensured.
  • the rotor holder also consists of two holder pieces 8, 9, on which the comminution member rings 10, 11 are arranged.
  • the production of the slots 17 of the outer comminution member ring 10 by means of a laser is also required, these slots also being closed towards the free end.
  • the innermost ring 11 of the rotor and thus the device serves on the one hand for a rough pre-comminution and also exerts a pumping effect. Therefore, this innermost ring has relatively coarse teeth 18 which are open towards the free end, with gaps 19 in between, which have a direction deviating from the radial direction. These teeth are made as previously known. After the slots or teeth have been made on the comminution member rings, these or their holder pieces 8, 9 are welded together, as is shown schematically on the weld seam 20.
  • the holder 4, 5 of the stator is connected in a known manner via seals 21 to the lower housing part 1, to which an inflow pipe 22 and an outflow pipe 23 are fastened.
  • the direction of flow of the mixture of substances is indicated by the arrows 24.
  • the rotor holder 8, 9 is connected to the rotor shaft 25 in a known manner.
  • the other parts and the drive are already known.
  • the rotor and the stator are dimensioned such that they can be used with known apparatuses which are already on the market.
  • stator rings can also run within more than two stator rings with graduated diameters or only one rotor ring within one stator ring.
  • stator as its name suggests, is generally fixed, it can also be rotated in special arrangements and then rotates in the opposite direction to the rotor.
  • Such devices can be designed both as a continuous apparatus and as a dipstick.
