Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schlaufenmischer zur Mischung eines Feststoffe, insbesondere Fasern, enthaltenden Produktes mit einem zylindrischen Mischergehäuse, das einen Einlaß und einen Auslaß für das Produkt aufweist und in dem mit einem zylindrischen Leitrohr eine Mischschlaufe ausgebildet ist, in der das Produkt aus dem Inneren des Leitrohres über eine radiale Öffnung vor einem stirnseitigen Abschluß des Leitrohres in einen ringzylindrischen Außenraum des Leitrohres umgelenkt und dort im Gegenstrom zurücktransportiert wird und aus der das Produkt mittels an der Außenseite des Leitrohres angeordnete, die radiale Öffnung querenden Leiteinrichtungen zum Auslaß gelangt, wobei zum Transport des Produktes ein rotierender Verdränger im Innern des Leitrohres angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a loop mixer for mixing a Solids, especially fibers, containing a product cylindrical mixer housing that has an inlet and an outlet for the product and in the with a cylindrical guide tube a mixing loop is formed in which the product the interior of the guide tube via a radial opening in front of you front end of the guide tube in an annular cylindrical Outside of the guide tube deflected and transported back there in counterflow and from which the product is made on the outside arranged of the guide tube, which cross the radial opening Guides to the outlet, the transport of the Product a rotating displacer arranged inside the guide tube is.

Derartige Schlaufenmischer sind als "dynamische Schlaufenmischer" der Anmelderin bekannt und werden seit vielen Jahren verwendet. Sie bieten den Vorteil, daß der Mischvorgang totraumfrei erfolgen kann und eine gleichmäßige mittlere Durchlaufzeit für das Produkt - und somit eine gleichmäßige Durchmischung - durch die kontungen, die im Außenraum eine stromabwärts gerichtete Eintrittsöffnung aufweisen und das gemischte Produkt zum regelmäßig auf der der Einlaßseite gegenüberliegenden stirnseitigen Auslaßseite transportieren, wobei die Leiteinrichtungen erforderlich sind, um das Produkt an der radialen Öffnung und unabhängig von der Produktströmung durch die radiale Öffnung zum Auslaß zu transportieren. Demgemäß werden die Leiteinrichtungen im Bereich der radialen Öffnung von Produkt innerhalb der Mischschlaufe umströmt. Enthält das Produkt Feststoffe, insbesondere Fasern, neigen diese dazu, sich an den Außenseiten der Leiteinrichtungen anzusammeln und so die radiale Öffnung zu verkleinern bzw. vollständig verstopfen zu lassen.Loop mixers of this type are known as "dynamic loop mixers" known to the applicant and have been used for many years. They offer the advantage that the mixing process takes place without dead space can and an even mean lead time for the product - and thus an even mixing - through the accountings, which has a downstream entrance opening in the exterior have and the mixed product for regular on the the front-side outlet side opposite the inlet side transport, the guidance devices are required to the product at the radial opening and regardless of the product flow to be transported through the radial opening to the outlet. Accordingly, the guide devices in the radial Opening of product flows around in the mixing loop. Contains the product solids, especially fibers, these tend to accumulate on the outside of the control devices and so reduce the radial opening or clog it completely to let.

Für besonders kritische faserhaltige Produkte muß nach einer Laufzeit von wenigen Stunden eine Reinigung vorgenommen werden. Hierdurch wird die Effizienz des Einsatzes des Schlaufenmischers herabgesetzt, da insbesondere bei der Verarbeitung von Lebensmitteln nach der Reinigung ein keimfreier Zustand im Schlaufenmischer wieder hergestellt werden muß.For particularly critical fiber-containing products, after a period of time can be cleaned within a few hours. Hereby the efficiency of using the loop mixer is reduced, because especially when processing food after cleaning, a sterile condition in the loop mixer again must be manufactured.

Ausgehend von der Problemstellung, die Effizienz eines derartigen Schlaufenmischers zu erhöhen, ist ein Schlaufenmischer der eingangs erwähnten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß im Bereich der radialen Öffnung radial innen vor den Leiteinrichtungen ein rotierendes Abstreifwerkzeug angeordnet ist, das mit einer radialen Wand mit wenigstens einem Wandabschnitt versehen ist, der durch eine schräge Kante so abgeschlossen ist, daß sich die Höhe der Wand ändert.Based on the problem, the efficiency of such To increase the loop mixer is a loop mixer at the beginning mentioned type according to the invention characterized in that in Area of the radial opening radially in front of the guide devices a rotating scraper tool is arranged with a radial wall is provided with at least one wall section which is completed by an oblique edge so that the height the wall changes.

Erfindungsgemäß läßt sich das Problem des Zusetzens des Schlaufenmischers somit mit Hilfe eines einfachen rotierenden Werkzeuges lösen, das in Form einer zylindrischen Wand ausgebildet ist und mit der schrägen Kante des wenigstens einen Wandabschnittes die angesammelten Feststoffe, insbesondere Fasern, seitlich von den Leiteinrichtungen wegdrückt, so daß die Feststoffe, insbesondere Fasern, vom durch den freien Querschnitt der radialen Öffnung strömenden Produktstrom erfaßt und mitgenommen werden, also ordnungsgemäß in dem in der Mischschlaufe umlaufenden Produkt verbleiben. According to the invention, the problem of clogging the loop mixer can be solved with the help of a simple rotating tool solve that is in the form of a cylindrical wall and with the oblique edge of the at least one wall section accumulated solids, especially fibers, to the side of the Guides pushes away so that the solids, especially Fibers, from the one flowing through the free cross-section of the radial opening Product flow can be recorded and taken along, so properly remain in the product circulating in the mixing loop.

Es hat sich gezeigt, daß mit einem erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten und angeordneten Abstreifwerkzeug die Reinigungsintervalle für den Schlaufenmischer von wenigen Stunden auf mehrere Tage, also auf normale Reinigungsintervalle für Schlaufenmischer für nicht verstopfende Produkte, verlängert werden konnte.It has been shown that with an inventive and arranged scraper the cleaning intervals for the Loop mixer from a few hours to several days, i.e. to normal ones Cleaning intervals for loop mixers for non-clogging Products that could be extended.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Wandabschnitt dreieckförmig ausgebildet, wobei eine Sägezahnform, also ein Dreieck mit einer langen flachen Schräge und einer kurzen steilen Schräge, besonders bevorzugt ist.In a preferred embodiment, the wall section is triangular formed with a sawtooth shape, ie a triangle with a long flat slope and a short steep slope, especially is preferred.

Zweckmäßig ist es, wenn die maximale Höhe des Wandabschnittes etwa der größten Höhe der radialen Öffnung entspricht.It is useful if the maximum height of the wall section is approximately corresponds to the greatest height of the radial opening.

In einer in der praktischen Erprobung bewährten Ausführungsform ist die radiale Wand des Abstreifwerkzeuges mit zwei Wandabschnitten versehen.In an embodiment that has proven itself in practical testing provide the radial wall of the stripping tool with two wall sections.

In einer konstruktiv sehr zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform ist das Abstreifwerkzeug mit dem wenigstens einem Wandabschnitt topfförmig mit einem Boden ausgebildet, wobei der Boden des Abstreifwerkzeuges als stirnseitiger Abschluß des Leitrohres angeordnet ist.In a structurally very expedient embodiment, the stripping tool is with the at least one wall section in a pot shape formed a bottom, the bottom of the stripping tool as the end of the guide tube is arranged.

Die Umdrehungsgeschwindigkeit des rotierenden Abstreifwerkzeuges ist nicht kritisch. Das Abstreifwerkzeug kann daher in einfacher Weise einen gemeinsamen Antrieb mit dem rotierenden Verdränger aufweisen.The rotational speed of the rotating stripping tool is not critical. The stripping tool can therefore be easily have a common drive with the rotating displacer.

Der rotierende Verdränger ist zweckmäßigerweise eine Förderschnecke, so daß das Abstreifwerkzeug vorzugsweise an der Antriebswelle der Förderschnecke befestigt ist.The rotating displacer is expediently a screw conveyor, so that the stripping tool is preferably on the drive shaft Screw conveyor is attached.

Da das Produkt ab einer bestimmten Viskosität dazu neigt, sich mit dem rotierenden Verdränger mitzudrehen und somit nicht mehr vorgefördert zu werden, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Innenwandung des Leitrohres ein Mitdrehen des Produktes mit dem Verdränger verhindernde axial erstreckte Absätze aufweist. Hierzu kann die Innenwandung aus zueinander exzentrisch angeordneten zylindrischen Wandabschnitten gebildet sein, zwischen denen die Absätze ausgebildet sind. As of a certain viscosity the product tends to deal with rotate with the rotating displacer and therefore no longer advanced to become, it is useful if the inner wall of the guide tube axially preventing the product from rotating with the displacer has extended paragraphs. For this purpose, the inner wall can be made from each other eccentrically arranged cylindrical wall sections formed between which the paragraphs are formed.

Figure 3 -
a horizontal section through an embodiment of a guide tube along the line AA in Figure 1

Figur 1 läßt ein Mischergehäuse 1 erkennen, das im wesentlichen zylindrisch ausgebildet ist und auf einer Stirnseite einen Einlaß 2 für das zu mischende Produkt und auf der anderen Stirnseite einen Auslaß 3 für das gemischte Produkt aufweist.Figure 1 shows a mixer housing 1, which is substantially cylindrical is formed and on an end face an inlet 2 for the product to be mixed and on the other face has an outlet 3 for the mixed product.

Koaxial mit dem Mischergehäuse 1 befindet sich in diesem ein Leitrohr 4, dessen Länge kürzer ist als die Länge des Mischergehäuses 1 im zylindrischen Teil, so daß radiale Durchtrittsöffnungen 5, 6 an beiden Enden des Leitrohres 4 entstehen, durch die das Produkt aus dem Innern des Leitrohres 4 in einen zwischen Leitrohr 4 und Mischergehäuse 1 gebildeten ringzylindrischen Außenraum 7 und umgekehrt gelangen kann.Coaxial with the mixer housing 1 there is a guide tube 4, whose length is shorter than the length of the mixer housing 1 in cylindrical part, so that radial openings 5, 6 on both Ends of the guide tube 4 arise through which the product from the Inside the guide tube 4 in a between the guide tube 4 and Mixer housing 1 formed cylindrical outer space 7 and vice versa can reach.

In der Symmetrieachse des Leitrohres 4 ist eine rotierende Antriebswelle 8 einer Förderschnecke 9 angeordnet. Die das Leitrohr 4 im wesentlichen ausfüllende Förderschnecke 9 transportiert das Produkt vom eingangsseitigen Ende des Leitrohres 4 zum ausgangsseitigen Ende, wo das Produkt in den ringzylindrischen Außenraum 7 umgelenkt und im Gegenstrom zum eingangsseitigen Ende des Leitrohres zurückgefördert wird, um sich dann mit dem durch den Einlaß 2 eingetretenen neuen Produkt zu vermischen. A rotating drive shaft is in the axis of symmetry of the guide tube 4 8 a screw conveyor 9 is arranged. The guide tube 4 essentially filling screw 9 transports the product from the input end of the guide tube 4 to the output side End where the product is redirected into the cylindrical outer space 7 and in counterflow to the inlet end of the guide tube is conveyed back to then through the inlet 2 to mix in the new product.

Am ausgangsseitigen Ende des Leitrohres 4 sind an diesem vier gleichmäßig über dessen Umfang verteilte Rohrstücke 10 angeordnet, die in einen gemeinsamen Auslaßraum 11 münden, der sich konisch zum Anschlußflansch 12 des Auslasses 3 verjüngt.At the output end of the guide tube 4 there are four arranged pipe pieces 10 evenly distributed over its circumference, which open into a common outlet space 11, which is conical to Connection flange 12 of the outlet 3 tapers.

Die durch den Auslaß 3 austretende, bearbeitete Produktmenge entspricht der durch den Einlaß 2 in den Mischer eingedrückten Produktmenge. Pfeile P verdeutlichen den Produktumlauf in der durch den Innenraum und den ringzylindrischen Außenraum 7 des Leitrohres 4 gebildeten Mischschlaufe sowie die Zuführung des Produktes durch den Einlaß 2 und den Austritt von Produkt durch die Rohrstücke 10 in den Auslaß 3.The amount of processed product emerging through outlet 3 corresponds the amount of product pressed into the mixer through inlet 2. Arrows P illustrate the product circulation in the through the interior and the annular cylindrical outer space 7 of the guide tube 4 is formed Mixing loop and the feeding of the product through the inlet 2 and the exit of product through the pipe sections 10 in the Outlet 3.

Im Bereich der radialen Durchgangsöffnung 5 ist erfindungsgemäß ein rotierendes Abstreifwerkzeug 13 angeordnet, das topfförmig mit einem Boden 14 und einer radialen Wand 15 ausgebildet ist. Die radiale Wand 15 rotiert dabei unmittelbar vor dem radial inneren Ende der auf einem gemeinsamen Radius angeordneten, als Leiteinrichtungen dienenden Rohrstücke 10. Der Boden 14 bildet einen stirnseitigen Abschluß in Verlängerung des Leitrohres 4 und mit Abstand von dessen ausgangsseitiger Endkante 16.According to the invention, in the area of the radial through opening 5 rotating stripping tool 13 arranged, the cup-shaped with a Bottom 14 and a radial wall 15 is formed. The radial wall 15 rotates immediately in front of the radially inner end of the one Common radius arranged, serving as guidance devices Pipe pieces 10. The bottom 14 forms a front end in Extension of the guide tube 4 and at a distance from its outlet side End edge 16.

Die radiale Wand 15 ist mit zwei Wandabschnitten 17 ausgebildet, die mit einer schrägen Kante 18 versehen sind.The radial wall 15 is formed with two wall sections 17 which are provided with an oblique edge 18.

Wie insbesondere die in Figur 2 dargestellte Abwicklung verdeutlicht, führt die schräge Kante 18 von einer geringen Höhe H1 zu einer größeren Höhe H2. Eine steiler verlaufende schräge Kante 19 führt auf die ursprüngliche Höhe H1 zurück.As is particularly clear from the processing shown in FIG. 2, leads the inclined edge 18 from a small height H1 to a larger one Height H2. A steeper inclined edge 19 leads to the original height H1 back.

Wie Figur 1 verdeutlicht, ist das Abstreifwerkzeug 13 mit der Rotationswelle 8 verbunden, rotiert also zusammen mit der Förderschnecke 9. Aufgrund der Rotationsrichtung R wird das Produkt mit Hilfe der schrägen Kante 18 seitlich von den Rohrstücken 10 weggedrückt. In dem Produkt enthaltene Feststoffe werden daher in den freien Bereich zwischen den Rohrstücken 10 gefördert und gelangen durch den freien Bereich der radialen Öffnung 5 mit dem von der Förderschnecke 9 erzeugten Produktstrom in den ringzylindrischen Außenraum 7. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the scraper tool 13 has the rotary shaft 8 connected, so rotates together with the screw conveyor 9. Due to the direction of rotation R, the product with the help of oblique edge 18 laterally pushed away from the tube pieces 10. By doing Solids contained in the product are therefore in the free area between promoted the pipe sections 10 and pass through the free area the radial opening 5 with that generated by the screw conveyor 9 Product flow into the ring-cylindrical outer space 7.

Eine Ansammlung von Feststoffen bzw. Fasern an der angeströmten Seite der als Leiteinrichtungen fungierenden Rohrstücke 10 wird daher wirksam vermieden.A collection of solids or fibers on the inflow side the pipe sections 10 functioning as guide devices therefore become effective avoided.

Figur 3 verdeutlicht, daß das Leitrohr 4 eine nicht gleichmäßig zylindrische Innenwand 20 aufweist, sondern daß die Innenwand 20 aus vier zylindrischen Abschnitten 21 besteht, die exzentrisch zueinander angeordnet sind und daher axial ausgerichtete Absätze 22 bilden. Durch diese Anordnung wird einerseits verhindert, daß sich Material mit der Rotation in Richtung R der Förderschnecke 9 mitdreht, was den angestrebten Transporteffekt in axialer Richtung unterbinden würde, andererseits wird ein Zusetzen von etwaigen Nuten, kreisförmigen Öffnungen o.ä. vermieden.Figure 3 illustrates that the guide tube 4 is not a uniformly cylindrical Has inner wall 20, but that the inner wall 20 from there are four cylindrical sections 21 which are eccentric to each other are arranged and therefore form axially aligned shoulders 22. This arrangement prevents material on the one hand with the rotation in the direction R of the screw 9, which rotates the would prevent the desired transport effect in the axial direction, on the other hand, clogging of any grooves, circular openings or similar avoided.

Figur 4 verdeutlicht in einer anderen Ausführungsform der Wand des Leitrohres 4, daß auch die Außenwand entsprechend der Ausbildung der Innenwand 20 abgestuft sein kann, wenn dies aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen zweckmäßig erscheint.Figure 4 illustrates in another embodiment of the wall of the Guide tube 4 that the outer wall according to the design of the Inner wall 20 can be graded if this is from manufacturing Reasons seems appropriate.
