Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Rührwerksbehälter zum Trocknen und ggf. Granulieren von schüttfähigen Produkten.The invention relates to an agitator tank for Drying and, if necessary, granulating pourable products.
Aus der US-PS 3 862 707 ist ein Trocknungsbehälter bekannt, der eine trichterförmige Wandung aufweist, die unten offen ist und keinen Boden aufweist. Ein Rührwerk ist in diesen Behältern nicht vorgesehen.A drying container is known from US Pat. No. 3,862,707, which has a funnel-shaped wall that is open at the bottom and has no floor. An agitator is in these containers not provided.
In bekannten Vorrichtungen zum Trocknen und ggf. Granulieren von pulverisiertem Material für pharmazeutische Produkte, z. B. gemäß der EP-385 965 B1, erfolgt das Zuführen des sogenannten ,,Schleppgases" zum Abführen der Feuchte aus dem Trokkungsprozeß durch einen dreiarmigen Rührflügel hindurch in das Produkt. Dieses hat den Nachteil, daß es nur drei Einlaßstellen in einem Rührwerksbehälter gibt, da der dreiarmige Rührflügel eben nur an drei Stellen das Gas in das Produkt ablassen kann. Hierbei bilden sich im Stillstand des Rührflügels schnell Zonen, durch die das Gas in Kanälen entweicht, und das übrige Produkt kommt nicht mit dem Trocknungsgas in Berührung. Nur wenn der Rührflügel in Bewegung ist, ist eine einigermaßen gleichmäßige Durchflutung des zu bearbeitenden Produktes mit Gas sicherzustellen. Da aber bei einer Granulation mit anschließender oder gleichzeitiger Trocknung das Wesentliche darin besteht, daß das Produkt nicht zu stark durch einen Rührer mechanisch beansprucht wird, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn man den Rührer nicht sehr oft in Bewegung setzen muß, sondern die Schleppgasverteilung auf den Umfang des Produktes durch andere Maßnahmen sicherstellen könnte.In known devices for drying and possibly granulating of powdered material for pharmaceutical products, e.g. B. According to EP-385 965 B1, the so-called "Tow gas" for removing moisture from the drying process through a three-armed impeller in the product. This has the disadvantage that there are only three entry points in an agitator tank because the three-armed Only let the agitator vent the gas into the product at three points can. This is when the impeller stops quickly zones through which the gas escapes in channels, and the rest of the product does not come with the drying gas Contact. Only when the impeller is in motion is a reasonably even flow of water ensure the product to be processed with gas. But since with a granulation with subsequent or simultaneous drying the essentials in it there is that the product is not too strong by one Stirrer is mechanically stressed, it is advantageous if you don't move the stirrer very often must set, but the trailing gas distribution on the Ensure the scope of the product using other measures could.
Bei den bekannten Anordnungen entsteht auch ein hygienisches Problem. Die Aussparungen in den Rührwerksflügeln werden über Sintermetalle oder ähnliche poröse Werkstoffe erreicht, die sich aber schlecht oder gar nicht reinigen lassen, so daß derartige Einrichtungen für pharmazeutische Produkte nicht einsetzbar sind.In the known arrangements also arises hygienic problem. The cutouts in the agitator blades are over sintered metals or the like porous materials reached, but these are poor or not at all, so that such Facilities for pharmaceutical products are not can be used.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gleichmäßige Durchströmung des zu behandelnden Produktes in einem Rührwerksbehälter mit Schleppgas zu erreichen, wobei aber die Gaseintrittsöffnungen jederzeit inspizierbar sind und somit qualifizierbare und validierbare Maschinen der pharmazeutischen Industrie angeboten werden können.The invention has for its object a uniform flow through the product to be treated in an agitator tank with trailing gas reach, but the gas inlet openings can be inspected at any time and can therefore be qualified and validatable machines of pharmaceutical Industry can be offered.
Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die Lehre des Hauptanspruches gelöst.This object underlying the invention will solved by the teaching of the main claim.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen erläutert.Advantageous embodiments are in the subclaims explained.
Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt erfolgt bei der neuen Einrichtung die Gaszufuhr durch den Isoliermantel, wobei das Gas in eine zylindrische Cartridge-Einheit geleitet wird. Diese Einheit weist ein zylindrisches Element mit konischer Verjüngung auf, das mit einem Siebgewebe von 10 µm oder kleiner ausgestattet ist und dem Gas die Möglichkeit gibt, durch dieses Edelstahlsiebgewebe in das Produkt des Rührwerksbehälters einzutreten. Die Gaszufuhr durch die Isoliermantelkonstruktion des eigentlichen Rührwerksbehälters ist so ausgebildet, daß im Reinigungsfall keine Totzonen in diesem Bereich geschaffen werden, sondern an der tiefsten Stelle jeweils der Austritt des Gases erfolgt und somit auch eine eventuelle Reinigungs- und Desinfektionsflüssigkeit zugeführt werden kann. Über einen Schnellverschluß in Form eines Spannringes lassen sich die demontierbaren Patronen vakuumdicht mit dem Behälterinneren verschließen. So ist sichergestellt, daß das Schleppgas nicht nach außen dringen kann.In other words, the gas supply through the new facility Insulating jacket, the gas being in a cylindrical Cartridge unit is headed. This unit points a cylindrical element with a conical taper on that with a sieve of 10 microns or smaller is equipped and gives the gas the opportunity through this stainless steel screen mesh into the product of the Agitator container to enter. The gas supply through the insulating jacket construction of the actual agitator tank is designed so that when cleaning no dead zones are created in this area but at the lowest point in each case the gas escapes and therefore also occurs any cleaning and disinfection liquid can be supplied. Via a quick release in the form of a clamping ring, the removable ones Cartridges vacuum-tight with the inside of the container close. This ensures that Towing gas cannot escape to the outside.
Als Schleppgas kann sowohl Luft mit einer ausreichenden Filtrierung nach Pharma-Qualität mit einer ganz normalen Raumtemperatur eingesetzt werden, aber auch ein Inertgas. Mit der neuerungsgemäßen Einrichtung ist es möglich, ein wassergebundenes Granulierhilfsmittel innerhalb eines Drittels der normalen Vakuumtrocknungszeit aus dem Produkt zu entfernen.Air with sufficient air can be used as entraining gas Filtration according to pharmaceutical quality a normal room temperature become, but also an inert gas. With the innovation It is possible to set up a water-bound Granulating aid within one Third of the normal vacuum drying time from the Remove product.
