Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Separator nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a separator according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein derartiger Separator ist aus der DE 38 34 134 A1 bekannt (siehe Fig. 4).Such a separator is known from DE 38 34 134 A1 (see FIG. 4).
Bei der Entkeimung eines Produktes wie Rohmilch mittels Separatoren kommt es immer wieder zu kurzzeitigen Verschlechterungen der Entkeimungseffizienz aufgrund von Druckanstiegen im Zulauf, die z. B. durch Teilentleerungen, Tankumschaltungen oder durch einen erhöhten Luftgehalt in dem Produkt hervorgerufen werden.In the sterilization of a product such as raw milk by means of separators, there are always short-term worsening of the sterilization efficiency due to pressure increases in the inlet, the z. B. caused by partial discharges, tank switching or by an increased air content in the product.
Ein weiteres Problem ist ein Transport (Schaftlauf) von Keimen zur Schälscheibe.Another problem is a transport (shaft run) of germs to the peeling disc.
Die Lösung dieses Problems ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung.The solution to this problem is the object of the invention.
Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand des Anspruches 1.The invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claim 1.
Danach erstrecken sich die Verbindungsbohrungen zwischen dem vorzugsweise konischen Zulaufraum und dem Ringraum und vorzugsweise jeder der Austrittsöffnungen aus dem Zulaufraum in die Zulaufbohrungen des Verteilers und jeder der Verbindungsbohrungen zum Ringraum ist jeweils eine Rippe zugeordnet.Thereafter, the connecting bores between the preferably conical inlet space and the annular space and preferably each of the outlet openings extend from the inlet space into the inlet bores of the distributor and each of the connecting bores to the annular space is assigned a respective rib.
Mit der Erfindung und insbesondere auch ihren bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen der Unteransprüche wird eine besonders gleichmäßige Annahme und Beschleunigung sowie auch eine besonders gleichmäßige Entlüftung des Produktes erreicht, wodurch auch bei erhöhtem Luftgehalt im Produkt relativ konstante Entlüftungswerte erzielbar sind.With the invention and in particular its preferred embodiments of the dependent claims a particularly uniform acceptance and acceleration as well as a particularly uniform ventilation of the product is achieved, whereby relatively constant ventilation values can be achieved even with increased air content in the product.
Besonders vorteilhaft sind nach einer Variante die Rippen radial innerhalb der Austrittsöffnungen aus dem Zulaufraum in die Zulaufbohrungen des Verteilers und axial unterhalb der Verbindungsbohrungen zum Ringraum angeordnet. Insbesondere derart kann auch bei einem hohen Gasgehalt im Produkt, insbesondere bei einem hohen Luftgehalt in Rohmilch, eine besonders gleichmäßige Entkeimung erzielt werden!According to a variant, the ribs are particularly advantageous radially within the outlet openings from the inlet space into the inlet bores of the distributor and axially arranged below the connecting holes to the annulus. In particular, even with a high gas content in the product, especially at a high air content in raw milk, a particularly uniform sterilization can be achieved!
Aus der US 5,921,909 ist es zwar bekannt am Austritt der Verteileröffnungen zu den Steigekanälen Rippen anzuordnen (siehe dort Fig. 2). Die Verteilerkanäle an sich werden durch rippenartige Stege voneinander getrennt. Die Möglichkeit zur Erzeugung erhöhten Unterdrucks mit Rippen zusätzlich zu Verteilerkanalbohrungen und Verbindungsbohrungen zu einem Ringraum zur Erhöhung der Sterilität eines Entkeimungsseparators wurde dort aber nicht erkannt.Although it is known from US 5,921,909 at the outlet of the distribution openings to the riser channels ribs to arrange (see there Fig. 2). The distribution channels themselves are separated by rib-like webs. However, the possibility of generating increased negative pressure with ribs in addition to distribution channel bores and connecting bores to an annular space for increasing the sterility of a sterilization separator was not recognized there.
Analoges gilt für die Kammerzentrifugen der DE 36 27 826 C 1 und der DE-U-1 444 977. In letzterer Schrift ist eine obere Fangkammer offenbart, die über Bohrungen mit einem Ringraum in Wirkverbindung steht, der mit Rippen in einzelne Verteilerkanäle unterteilt sein kann. Danach setzen hier die Rippen nicht etwa vor dem Eintritt der Bohrungen für die Verteilerkanäle an sondern sie stellen selbst die Begrenzungswand der Verteilerkanäle dar. Die Fangkammer ist auch nicht oberhalb des unteren Endes des Zulaufrohres angeordnet, so dass in sie kein Produkt eintreten kann. Die Fankammer dient vielmehr dazu, Leckflüssigkeit in die Trommel zurückzuleiten. Die Verhinderung von Kontaminationen steht dabei gerade nicht im Vordergrund der Überlegungen.The same applies to the chamber centrifuges DE 36 27 826 C 1 and DE-U-1 444 977. In the latter document, an upper catching chamber is disclosed, which is connected via bores with an annular space in operative connection, which may be divided with ribs into individual distribution channels , Thereafter, here set the ribs not just before the entry of the holes for the distribution channels but they themselves represent the boundary wall of the distribution channels. The catching chamber is also not located above the lower end of the inlet pipe, so that no product can enter into it. Rather, the fan chamber serves to recirculate leaking fluid into the drum. The prevention of contamination is just not in the foreground of the considerations.
Bevorzugt sind die Rippen in Drehrichtung nach einer besonders bevorzugten Variante der Erfindung gesehen vor den Austrittsöffnungen und den Verbindungsbohrungen angeordnet. Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich ferner herausgestellt, wenn der Zulaufraum eine sich in Einlaufrichtung konisch aufweitende Form aufweist.Preferably, the ribs are arranged in the direction of rotation according to a particularly preferred variant of the invention seen in front of the outlet openings and the connecting bores. It has also proven to be particularly advantageous if the inlet space has a conically widening shape in the inlet direction.
Die Höhe der Rippen im Einlaufbereich ist vorzugsweise höher als die Höhe der Austrittsöffnungen in den Zulaufbohrungen, beispielsweise um wenigstens das 1,5fache insbesondere mehr als das 2fache, der Höhe der Austrittsöffnungen in die Zulaufbohrungen und entsprechen der des Ringabschnittes vor der Bohrung.The height of the ribs in the inlet region is preferably higher than the height of the outlet openings in the inlet bores, for example by at least 1.5 times, in particular more than 2 times, the height of the outlet openings in the inlet bores and corresponding to the ring section before the bore.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den übrigen Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantageous embodiments can be found in the remaining subclaims.

Figur 1 zeigt eine vereinfachte Darstellung eines Teilbereichs einer Schleudertrommel 1 eines Separators, in der ein Tellerpaket 2 aus einer Vielzahl von Tellern 3 konzentrisch zur Maschinenachse A angeordnet ist. Die Teller 3 weisen eine konische Form auf, sind axial übereinander gestapelt und mittels hier nicht dargestellten Abstandshaltem (Laschen und dgl.) voneinander beabstandet.1 shows a simplified representation of a portion of a centrifugal drum 1 of a separator, in which a disc package 2 is arranged from a plurality of
Das Tellerpaket 2 ist an einem Verteilerschaft 4 eines Verteilers 5 gehalten, der an seinem Außenumfang mit radial nach außen vorkragenden Stegen versehen ist (hier nicht zu erkennen), welche am Innenumfang der Teller 3 in diese eingreifen. Das Tellerpaket 2 weist Steigekanäle 6 auf, die aus direkt übereinander liegenden Löchern in den Tellern 3 bestehen und sich über die gesamte Höhe des Tellerpakets 2 erstrecken.The plate package 2 is held on a
Ein konzentrisch zur Maschinenachse liegendes Zulaufrohr 7 ermöglicht die Zuleitung eines Schleudergutes hier beispielhaft von oben in die Schleudertrommel 1 sowie dort durch den Verteilerschaft 4 und unterhalb des Tellerpakets 2 im Verteiler 5 ausgebildete Zulaufbohrungen 8 in das Tellerpaket 2, beispielhaft im Bereich des Steigekanals 6 oder an einer anderen Stelle. In der Schleudertrommel 1 erfolgt dann die eigentliche Klärung des zu verarbeitenden Produktes von Feststoffen (z. B. zur Entkeimung) und/oder eine Trennung des Produktes in verschiedene Flüssigkeitsphasen, welche durch Ableitungen 9, 10 auf verschiedenen Durchmessern und Schälscheiben 11, 12 sowie durch hier nicht dargestellte Feststoffausträge aus der Schleudertrommel 1 abgeleitet werden.An inlet pipe 7 lying concentrically to the machine axis makes it possible to feed a centrifuged material from above into the centrifugal drum 1 and through the
Von besonderem Interesse ist hier der Aufbau des Zulaufbereiches und dort insbesondere des Verteilers 5 und des Verteilerschaftes 4.Of particular interest here is the construction of the inlet area and there in particular of the
Ein durch das Zulaufrohr 7 zugeführtes Produkt tritt aus dem Zulaufrohr 7 zunächst in einen sich bei diesem Separator mit vertikaler Maschinen- und Drehachse von oben nach unten konisch aufweitenden Zulaufraum 13 mit innen glatten Flächen im Zentrum des Verteilerschaftes 4 ein, wobei sich der freie untere Austritt des Zulaufrohrs 7 bis unterhalb des oberen Randes des Zulaufraumes 13 erstreckt.A fed through the inlet pipe 7 product enters from the inlet pipe 7 first in a in this separator with a vertical machine and rotation axis conically widening from top to
Der Öffnungswinkel α des Zulaufraumes 13 ist der Größe des Separators und der dazugehörigen Leistung angepasst und kann beispielsweise mehr als 3°, vorzugsweise mehr als 5° betragen.The opening angle α of the
Aus dem Zulaufraum 13 tritt das Produkt radial nach außen (und hier schräg nach unten) durch Austrittsöffnungen 14 aus dem Zulaufraum 13 in die Zulaufbohrungen 8 ein, die innere Abschnitte 23 und sich im Verteiler nach oben erstreckende Abschnitte 24 aufweisen, die unterhalb der Steigekanäle münden.From the
Vorzugsweise in Drehrichtung (im Uhrzeigersinn; siehe auch Figur 3) ist jeweils direkt hinter jeder der Rippen 16 und radial außerhalb der Rippen eine bohrungsartige Austrittsöffnung 14 aus dem Zulaufraum 13 in die Zulaufbohrungen bzw. -kanäle 8 angeordnet.Preferably, in the direction of rotation (clockwise, see also FIG. 3), a bore-like outlet opening 14 is arranged from the
Die Höhe (parallel zur vertikalen Maschinenachse) der Rippen 16 ist größer, beispielsweise um mehr als das 1,5fache größer, als die Höhe der Austrittsöffnungen 14.The height (parallel to the vertical machine axis) of the
Oberhalb der Rippen 16 sind wiederum vorzugsweise in Drehrichtung hinter jeder Rippe 16 und axial oberhalb der Rippen 16 (axial bezogen auf die vertikale Trommelachse M) Verbindungsbohrungen 17 im Verteilerschaft 4 ausgebildet, welche sich von den Austrittsöffnungen 14 des Zulaufraumes 13 parallel zur Umfangswand 18 des Zulaufraumes 13 im Verteilerschaft 4 bis in einen Ringraum 19 erstrecken, welcher im Verteilerschaft 4 oberhalb des unteren Endes des Zulaufrohres 7 und unterhalb der unteren ersten Schälscheibe 11 ausgebildet ist und über einen Ringkanal 20 mit einem weiteren Ringraum 21 verbunden ist, in welchem die erste Schälscheibe 11 angeordnet ist.Above the
Die Rippen 16 sind innerhalb eines sich radial aufweitenden Ringabschnitts 22 des Ringraums 13 angeordnet, an deren Außenumfang die Eintrittsöffnungen 14 angeordnet sind, wo bereits eine weitere Beschleunigung des Schleudergutes - unterstützt durch die Rippen 16 - erfolgt. Die Rippen 16 verjüngen sich dabei nach einer Variante derart, dass sie die konische Innenkontur des Zulaufraumes in ihrem Bereich nach unten verlängern, was die Verhältnisse im Einlaufbereich weiter optimiert. Die Rippen 16 sind so hoch wie der Ringabschnitt 22 und können auch so breit sein wie die Verbindungsbohrungen.The
Die Arbeitsweise dieser Anordnung ist wie folgt.The operation of this arrangement is as follows.
Wird zu entkeimende Milch als zu verarbeitendes Produkt durch das Zulaufrohr 7 in den Schleuderraum 1 geführt, weist es zunächst noch die Drehgeschwindigkeit Null und seine axiale Zulaufgeschwindigkeit auf.If milk to be sterilized is passed through the inlet pipe 7 into the centrifugal space 1 as a product to be processed, it initially still has the rotational speed zero and its axial feed rate.
Sodann wird es im konischen Zulaufraum 13 und dann beim Austritt aus den Austrittsöffnungen 14 an den Rippen 16 im sich radial aufweitenden Ringabschnitts 22 des Ringraums 13 sowie weiter in den Zulaufbohrungen 8 beschleunigt. Dabei entsteht im Ringraum 19 ein Unterdruck, der so groß ist, dass ein Rückvermischen beim Entkeimen der Milch zur Schälscheibenrichtung hin verhindert wird. Der Unterdruck liegt vorzugsweise bei 0,9 auf 0,6 bar. Auch bei einem hohen Gasgehalt im Produkt, insbesondere bei einem hohen Luftgehalt in Rohmilch erzielt man eine besonders gleichmäßige Entkeimung.It is then accelerated in the
Auch bei Teilentleerungen bleibt dieser vorteilhafte Effekt erhalten.Even with partial emptying this beneficial effect is maintained.
Fig. 4 veranschaulicht die Auslegung eines Entkeimungsseparators zur Entkeimung von Milch mit einer Trommel mit vertikaler Drehachse und mit einem Schlammraum außerhalb des Tellerpakets und einem Kolbenschieber vor Feststoffaustragsöffnungen zum Austragen von Feststoffen wie Keimen.Fig. 4 illustrates the design of a sterilization separator for the sterilization of milk with a drum with a vertical axis of rotation and with a sludge space outside the plate pack and a spool valve before Feststoffaustragsöffnungen for discharging solids such as germs.
Der erfindungsgemäße Entkeimer kann beispielhaft ansonsten wie dieser Separator aufgebaut sein, wobei dann allerdings der Zulaufbereich, insbesondere der Verteilerbereich nach Art der Fig. 1 - 3 ausgelegt wird.The inventive degerminator may otherwise be constructed in the same way as this separator, in which case, however, the inlet area, in particular the distributor area, is designed in the manner of FIGS. 1-3.
Vorteilhaft sind wenigstens acht Rippen und Zulaufbohrungen vorgesehen. Die Anzahl der Rippen 16 entspricht damit der Anzahl der Steigekanäle und Austrittsöffnungen.
