Definitions

  • This invention concerns a device for emulsifying one or more liquids, as described in the preamble of the first claim.
  • the device of this invention comprises an emulsifying head with a cylindrical package.
  • the cylindrical package comprises an inlet to feed the liquids to be emulsified to the package and an outlet to discharge the emulsified liquids from the package.
  • at least three perforated discs extending mainly parallel to each other, are installed.
  • a second disc, located between the first and third disc also fits against the inner partition of the package and is rotatably mounted in the package.
  • the device of this invention is particularly suited for the preparation of an emulsion of two or more liquids, for example mayonnaise. whipped cream, margarine, spread pastes, etc.
  • liquids refers to substances having a liquid state of aggregation.
  • liquids also includes viscous substances having a high viscosity.
  • the mutual distance between the discs measured in axial direction of the package, preferably amounts to 1.5-2.5 mm. It was found that at this distance, an optimal mixing of the liquids, and thus an optimal emulsion may be obtained.
  • the mutual distance between the discs is chosen by the man skilled in the art, depending on the nature of the substances that have to be emulsified.
  • each disc is preferably provided with openings having a diameter between 4 and 10 mm. It was found that at these dimensions, an optimal emulsion may be obtained.
  • the diameter of the openings is chosen by the man skilled in the art, depending on the nature of the substances that have to be emulsified.
  • the invention also concerns a process for emulsifying liquids.
  • one or more liquids that have to be emulsified are fed to a package and moved under pressure through openings in a first perforated disc mounted in the package, and subsequently through a second perforated disc which is rotated with a rotational speed of 2500-3500 revolutions per minute, and finally through a third perforated disc mounted in the package, upon which the emulsified mixture leaves the device.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view on the emulsifying device of this invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section of the emulsifying device of this invention.
  • Figure 3 shows a view on the perforated discs of the emulsifying device of this invention.
  • the preferred embodiment of the device of this invention shown in Figure 1 comprises an emulsifying head with a cylindrical package 1 for emulsifying a mixture of liquids.
  • the package 1 has an inner partition 10 and an inlet 2 to feed the liquids that have to be emulsified to the package 1 and an outlet 3 to drain off the emulsified liquid.
  • the liquids to be emulsified may be fed to the emulsifying device as a homogeneous or an inhomogeneous mixture. If desirable, additives may be added to one or more of the liquids to be emulsified, such as, for example, flavours, spices, etc.
  • each disc 4, 5, 5' In axial direction of the package 1, parallel to each other, at least three perforated discs 4, 5, 5' are provided.
  • the discs 4, 5, 5' extend in radial direction of the package 1.
  • Each disc 4, 5, 5' has a circumferential edge which is in contact with the inner partition 10 of the package, thus allowing to obtain a leak-tight connection of the discs 4, 5, 5' with the inner partition 10.
  • a first disc 5' is located in the vicinity of the inlet 2 of the package 1; a third disc 5 is located in the vicinity of the outlet 3 of the package 1.
  • the first and third discs 5, 5' are preferably solidly fixed to the package 1.
  • the first and third discs 5, 5' have a circumferential edge against which a sealing 6 is provided to prevent a liquid that is being sent under pressure through the package 1 from ending up between the discs 5 and 5' and the inner partition 10 of the package 1. This could result in an inhomogeneous emulsification of the liquid mixture.
  • first 5' and third disc 5 are a second disc 4, which is preferably mounted rotatably in the package 1.
  • the second disc 4 is preferably mounted on a rotatable axle 8 which is driven by a motor 9.
  • the rotational speed of the motor 9 is preferably 2000-4000 revolutions per minute, in order to allow the preparation of a very high-quality emulsion, i.e. an emulsion with a drop size between 2 and 4 mm.
  • the discs 4, 5, 5' are mounted at a distance from each other, which in axial direction of the package preferably varies from about 1.5 to about 2.5 mm. Preferably a mutual distance of nearly 2 mm is provided.
  • the device described here only comprises three discs, it is also possible to apply several fixed and rotating discs, for example 5 or 7 or more. Amongst others, this will be of importance when it is difficult to obtain a homogeneous emulsion of the liquids.
  • the openings 7 provided in the perforated discs 4, 5 and 5' are substantially round.
  • the diameter of the openings 7 preferably varies from 4 to 10 mm. However, depending on the nature of the liquids that are to be emulsified, the selected diameter of the openings 7 may be larger or smaller. Generally, the man skilled in the art will adjust the diameter and number of the openings 7 in each individual disc 4, 5, 5' to the nature of the liquids that have to be emulsified, in order to allow to obtain an emulsion as homogeneous as possible when the liquids are moved through the emulsifying device.
  • the openings of the discs 4, 5, 5' may all show the same diameter.
  • the openings 7 in the various discs have different diameters, in order to obtain an optimal emulsification.
  • the openings 7 within a same disc 4, 5, 5' may have substantially the same diameter, however, preferably at least one of the discs 4, 5 or 5' comprises openings having different diameters, as shown in Figure 3.
  • the first 5' and second disc 4 comprise openings having different diameters. It is also possible to provide the third disc 5 with openings 7 having different diameters.
  • all the discs 4, 5, 5' are mounted around the axle 8 driven by the motor 9.
  • the first and third discs 5, 5' are preferably fixed solidly in the package 1 around the axle 8.
  • the second disc 4 is preferably mounted onto the axle 8, so that it is rotatable within the package 1. Between the circumferential edge of the second disc 4 and the inner partition 10 of the package, preferably a sealing 6 is provided.
  • the speed at which the mixture is moved through the package depends on the pressure exerted on the liquids.
  • the pressure to be exerted on the mixture to obtain a smooth emulsion may be experimentally determined by the man skilled in the art. Usually, this pressure will vary with the composition of the mixture to be emulsified.
  • the device of this invention is suitable for emulsifying widely divergent liquids and/or semi-liquid materials used for the production of mayonnaise, whipped cream, margarine, spread pastes, etc.
  • the device is suitable for the emulsification of two, three, four or more liquids.
