Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the production of pastilles, with a rotatable drum arranged horizontally on the entire circumference, horizontally arranged on the circumference of which an indicator body rests laterally, and with a fixed inner body mounted in this drum, which with part of its circumference forms a crescent-shaped gap with the inner wall of the drum, the end of which lies behind in the direction of rotation of the drum in the region of the lowest part of the circumference of the drum, with a feed device for a viscous, flowable melt which passes through the openings of the drum drips out and with a conveying and / or cooling surface for the drops emitted by the drum.
  • an axially extending channel is provided for supplying the flowable melt in the fixed inner body, from which connecting bores are guided to an axially extending slot on the circumference of the inner body, which is equipped with a bar provided with nozzles through which the material is directed to the outside is given and is released by the cyclical passage of the openings of the drum in this and from there to a cooling surface.
  • the eccentric gap provided there serves only to suck residual melt adhering to the outer circumference of the drum, which has not dripped, back into the openings of the drum from the circumference, before they come back to cover with the axially extending slot and the nozzle bar .
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that a dripping process can surprisingly also be carried out exclusively with the aid of the eccentric gap known per se, and without additional effort for the arrangement of nozzle strips or other means being necessary when the gap designed accordingly large.
  • the invention therefore achieves the object of creating a simpler device for the production of pastilles of the type specified above in that the crescent-shaped gap is designed to be large enough to accommodate at least the amount of melt to be dripped and the feed device for the melt consists of a shaft formed in the area between the front end of the guide in the direction of rotation of the drum and a wall seated on the upper circumference of the drum.
  • the meltable material can first enter from the outside through the openings of the drum and is then pressed outward in drops in the area after the lower end of the guide by the effect of the increasingly narrow gap.
  • the crescent-shaped gap is also possible, based on the knowledge according to the invention, to provide for the crescent-shaped gap to be large enough, as in the first embodiment, to accommodate the amount to be dripped train and the feeder.
  • Such a device can also drop melts unexpectedly, which are then cooled or gelled into pastilles.
  • the guide body for both embodiments can be mounted so as to be adjustable about the axis of the drum, so that its contact area on the drum can be adjusted in its circumferential direction.
  • the size of the area available for the dropping process between the end of the eccentric gap and the end of the guide can be changed as a result.
  • An adjustment to the viscosity of the material to be dripped is also achieved to a certain extent.
  • FIG. 1 shows the schematic representation of a first embodiment of the invention, in which the material to be drip-fed is supplied to the drum from the outside, and
  • FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention, in which the material to be dripped is fed to the inside of the drum.
  • FIG. 1 shows a drum (1) which is provided with openings (2) on its entire circumference, is aligned horizontally with its axis (3) and is driven by a drive (not shown) in the direction of the arrow ( 4) rotates around its axis (3).
  • a fixed inner body (5) which, with most of its circumference, on the inner wall of the rotating drum (1) abuts, but forms an eccentric sickle-shaped gap (6) in the area of the left half of the drum (1) with the inner wall of the drum (1).
  • This gap (6) has an upper end (6a) which lies approximately in the area of a vertical plane through the axis (3) and a lower end (6b) which also lies in the area of this vertical plane.
  • the gap (6) is also designed in such a way that it has a volume that is large enough to be able to absorb at least the amount of melt required for the dripping process and the outlet quantity on which it is based.
  • a guide body (7) On the outer circumference of the drum (1) lies a guide body (7) with a part of its inner surface, which is pivotally arranged on the axis (3) and forms an inlet gap upwards with the outer surface of the drum (1).
  • a wall (8) placed approximately in the area of the previously mentioned vertical plane, which forms with the inner wall (7a) of the guide body (7) a feed shaft for a melt which is viscous and flowable and which is fed in the direction of arrow (9). It would of course also be possible to bring the wall (8) into position (8 '). An inlet shaft would then also be formed, through which flowable material can be fed to the interior of the drum (1).
  • the flowable material, in particular a melt, supplied in the direction of the arrow (9) now penetrates into this gap (6) through the openings (2) which are open at the top in the area of the crescent-shaped gap (6) and flows due to the force of gravity, partly also due to the rotational movement of the drum (1) down into the area in which the gap (6) changes from its largest cross section into a smaller cross section. Since the cross section of the gap increases up to its largest cross section, that is to say approximately in the region of the shaft between the wall (7a) and the wall (8), a suction effect known per se is also exerted on the outside b
  • the meltable material in contact with the drum is pulled inwards.
  • the openings (2) of the drum (1) are cleared again. Since the cross section of the gap (6) also decreases in this area, the material located in the gap (6) is pressed out of the openings (2) until it drops in the form of drops (10) onto one below the drum (1 ) guided belt (11) falls, which is moved in the direction of arrow (12).
  • This belt (11) can be a cooling belt on which the drops (10) solidify into a pastille shape. Depending on the dripped material, the belt (11) can also be a conveyor belt on which the drops gel into pastilles.
  • Fig. 2 also shows a rotating drum (1) with openings (2) with a guide body (7) and a cooling or conveyor belt (11), so that the same reference numerals have been used for these parts.
  • an inner body (13) is provided which has the shape of a hollow tube through which the material to be dripped is fed to the interior of the drum (1).
  • the material for example a melt, can axially into the tubular inner body
  • the material supply in this embodiment is to be determined in such a way that essentially only the tapering part of the crescent-shaped gap is filled, so that the dropletization process in the area below the lower edge (7b) of the guide body (7) 1 can go on based on the embodiment of FIG.
  • a variant is shown in dashed lines, in which the inner body (13 ') is not designed as a cylindrical tube, like the part marked with (13), but as a body (13') provided with a cylindrical cavity (15) bears on the inner wall of the rotating drum (1) in the area to the right of a vertical plane running through the axis (3).
  • the material feed into the gap (6) does not need to be controlled in the same way as in the other embodiment in such a way that only the lower, narrowing part of the gap (6) is filled.
  • the material to be dripped can in this case be held in the funnel formed between the guide body (7) and the wall (13'a).

Abstract

Les dispositifs de production de pastilles connus, lesquels sont équipés d'un tambour rotatif (1) pourvu d'ouvertures, comprennent des dispositifs complémentaires, conçus pour amener le matériau destiné à former des gouttes, qui sont relativement complexes. Il est proposé, selon l'invention, d'utiliser un dispositif d'alimentation se présentant sous la forme d'un simple couloir placé sur le côté supérieur du tambour ou bien d'un corps creux (5) placé à l'intérieur du tambour, ce dispositif d'alimentation expulsant le matériau du tambour rotatif (1) seulement à travers un interstice (6) en forme de croissant, de taille appropriée, de façon qu'il forme des gouttes. L'invention concerne également l'utilisation de ce dispositif dans la fabrication de pastilles.
