Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for dispersing a substance in a liquid.
- Such devices serve to form a dispersion by finely distributing the substance in a liquid.
- the substance may be in solid, liquid or gaseous phase or else as a mixture of different phases.
- the problem with the mixing process is often the wetting and the homogeneous distribution of the substance. If this is powdery, there is also the danger that unwanted dust from unwetted powder forms in the environment.
- the device comprises an eccentrically arranged gear with internal teeth, which engage in a pinion, and a crescent-shaped insert.
- This arrangement has, inter alia, the disadvantage that it is unsuitable for dispersing powdery substances. Since these are almost incompressible, the meshing of the internal teeth in the pinion would generate such large forces that the device would be damaged, for example, in the walls of the teeth or the pinion or possibly in the camps.
- Another disadvantage is that the throughput and thus the volume of dispersion that can be generated per unit time are relatively low.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a device which allows in an improved way to suck in substance and to distribute as homogeneously as possible in a liquid.
- the dispersing device comprises a dispersing chamber 10, which is preferably bounded laterally by a cylindrical wall 11.
- the dispersing chamber 10 contains a driving means 12, by means of which liquid is set in motion.
- the driving means is preferably designed as an impeller 12. This comprises a hub 13 which is rotatable about the axis of rotation 16 and on which a plurality of wings 14 are mounted.
- the impeller 12 is arranged eccentrically in the dispersing chamber 10, so that the axis of rotation 16 is adjacent to the center 18 of the dispersing chamber 10.
- the distance between the base 15 of a blade 14 and the wall 11 of the dispersing chamber 10 changes between a minimum and a maximum value repeatedly.
- the axis passing through points 16 and 18 extends substantially in the neutral region where neither the suction generated in the dispersing chamber 10 nor the pumping action predominates.
- the impeller 12 is fixed to a shaft 19, which is by means of drive (not shown) in rotation displaceable.
- the shaft 19 is arranged vertically. It is also possible to align the disperser in a different position, for example, so that the shaft 19 is arranged horizontally.
- the dispersing chamber 10 is provided at the top with a cover 29, which contains a substance inlet 30 for introducing material into the dispersing chamber 10 and an outlet 35 for discharging the product from the dispersing chamber 10.
- Inlet inlet 30 and outlet 35 are each connected to a supply line 31 and 36, respectively. If, as mentioned above, the shaft 19 is aligned horizontally, it is advantageous to arrange the material inlet 30 at a higher level than the outlet 35.
- the shape of the material inlet 30 and the outlet 35 is substantially sickle-shaped, so that the distance between the edges 32 and 33 of the fabric inlet 30 in the direction of rotation 17 increases and the distance between the edges 37 and 38 of the outlet 35 decreases in the direction of rotation 17.
- the inner edge 32 of the material inlet 30 and the inner edge 37 of the outlet 35 are approximately on a circle whose center lies on the axis of rotation 16 of the impeller 12.
- the outer edge 38 of the outlet 35 lies on a circle 39 which is substantially concentric with the wall 11 of the dispersion chamber 10.
- the outer edge 33 of the material inlet 30 is also substantially circular and arranged so that it lies within the circle 39. This arrangement counteracts the risk that, during operation, liquid from the dispersion chamber 10 can penetrate into the substance inlet 30 and the supplied substance is able to agglomerate.
- the transition of the feed line 31 into the sickle shape of the material inlet 30 can be optimized so that even with high turbulence no liquid can spray from the dispersing chamber 10 into the material inlet 30.
- the transition to this is not abrupt in cross section, but for example, ramp-shaped, so seen in the direction of flow, the central part of the material inlet is higher than its two ends.
- Fig. 1 further shows, the dispersing chamber 10 below a disc 41 having a liquid inlet 40 for introducing liquid into the dispersing chamber 10.
- the liquid inlet 40 is arranged substantially between the material inlet 30 and the outlet 35, wherein the material inlet 30 is arranged in front of the liquid inlet 40 and in front of the outlet 35, viewed in the direction of rotation 17.
- the liquid inlet 40 has in the example according to Fig. 2 a substantially circular shape.
- the position of the liquid inlet 40 is opposite to that in FIG Fig. 2 shown rotated position 90 degrees.
- the disc 41 is rotatably arranged so that the position of the liquid inlet 40 with respect to the neutral axis, which passes through the points 16 and 18, is variable.
- the dispersing device further comprises pumping means 61 for conveying liquid through the liquid inlet 40 into the dispersing chamber 10.
- the dispersing device shown so far works as follows:
- the impeller 12 is in the in Fig. 2 indicated direction 17 in rotation and pumped liquid by means of the pumping means 61 through the liquid inlet 40 into the dispersing chamber 10.
- the liquid is also set in rotation and driven outwards due to the centrifugal force, so that it stands out from the hub 13 and a circumferential liquid ring 47 is formed, which is substantially concentric with the wall 11 of the dispersing chamber 10.
- Fig. 2 is the transition between the ring 47 with circulating liquid and the liquid-reduced interior indicated by a dashed line 39.
- the position of this transition 39, and thus the thickness of the liquid ring 47 is essentially given by the position of the outer edge 38 of the outlet 35, because, as explained below, due to the pumping action, liquid located in the interior is conveyed through the outlet 35 ,
- a cavity 50-57 Between the base 15 of adjacent blades 14 and the liquid ring 47 is formed in each case a cavity 50-57, the volume of which is repeatedly increased and decreased by the rotation of the impeller 12, whereby a pumping action is generated.
- a negative pressure is generated, which causes substance to be sucked through the substance inlet 30 into the dispersing chamber 10 and finally wetted with the liquid and mixed.
- the generated suction effect ensures that the substance does not already come into contact with liquid in the material inlet 30 and that the substance inlet 30 is clogged due to the formation of lumps.
- the cavity 50 then passes through the area of in Fig. 2 denoted by the reference numerals 52 and 53 cavities, where their volume hardly changes, so that neither a suction nor pumping action is generated. In this neutral zone, the liquid inlet 40 is arranged. Thereafter, the cavity 50 moves in the direction of the position of the cavity 54, so that its volume decreases again and the product consisting of liquid and substance contained therein is expelled through the outlet 35. Thereafter, the cavity 50 passes through in the region of Cavities 55 and 56 again a neutral zone between the pressure and suction side.
- the dispersion chamber 10 is designed so that the flow conditions are usually turbulent and a fine distribution of the substance in the liquid is favored.
- the mixing ratio of substance and liquid can be adjusted.
- the position of the liquid inlet 40 is displaced either more in the direction of the pressure side or more in the direction of the suction side, so that the amount of liquid which flows into the dispersing chamber 10 per unit time is regulated accordingly.
- the suction and pumping action of the dispersing device described here comes about in a similar way as for water ring pumps.
- the dispersing device is used here for optimum suction, wetting and dispersion of substance with or in the liquid.
- the dispersing device has a liquid inlet 40, so that the liquid in the ring is continuously exchanged during operation.
- Water ring pumps contain water as the working fluid, which permanently remains in the working chamber.
- the outlet 35 is fluidically connected to the liquid inlet 40.
- This allows the liquid to be passed through the dispersing chamber 10 several times.
- the material inlet 30 is e.g. closed by a valve and the dispersion passed through the dispersion chamber 10 several times.
- a second dispersing chamber 60 is provided in a second continuation of the dispersing device, which is also shown in FIG Fig. 1 is shown.
- This is fluidically connected via the liquid inlet 40 with the first dispersing chamber 10 and is located according to Fig. 1 below this.
- the second dispersing chamber 60 at least one dispersing tool 61 is arranged, which serves as a pumping means and as a processing means to distribute the substance in the liquid very finely.
- the dispersing tool 61 comprises rotor 62 and stator 63, wherein the rotor 62 is advantageously mounted on the same shaft 19 as the impeller 12. This allows the same drive to be used to set the impeller 12 and the dispersing tool 61 in motion.
- FIG. 16 shows an example of a dispersing tool 61 having two sprockets 62a and 62b forming the rotor 62 and two sprockets 63a and 63b constituting the stator 63.
- the sprockets 62a, 62b, 63a, 63b have slots 64 through which liquid and material contained therein can pass. Number and configuration of the sprockets 62a, 62b, 63a, 63b are selected according to the application.
- the dispersing tool 61 is provided in the inner region with a passage 69 which is fluidically connected to a supply chamber 70.
- This supply chamber 70 is located according to Fig. 1 below the dispersing tool 61 and includes an inlet 71. If the dispersion is to be recirculated, then the outlet 35 of the first dispersing chamber 10 is connected to the inlet 71.
- liquid is first sucked in from the supply chamber 70 by means of the dispersing tool 61 and pumped via the liquid inlet 40 into the first dispersing chamber 10, where, as already explained above, a liquid ring is formed. Cloth is drawn in through the fabric inlet 30 and dispersed in the liquid. The resulting dispersion is passed via the outlet 35 and the inlet 71 back into the feed chamber 70. The liquid and the substance contained therein are processed accordingly as they pass through the slots 64 of the rotor 62 and stator 63, resulting in a more refined and homogenized distribution of the substance. The liquid circulates several times between the first and second dispersing chambers 10 and 60 until the desired substance concentration and / or until a sufficiently homogeneous dispersion is achieved.
- the provision of two dispersion chambers 10 and 60 has the advantage that the wetting of the substance with liquid and the machining with the dispersing tool 61 takes place in separate chambers and thus does not influence the two processes. This makes it possible to produce particularly homogeneous dispersions without problems with lump formation and / or with undesirable dust formation in the case of pulverulent substances.
- Fig. 4 shows a third continuation of the dispersing device in a schematic form.
- Rectangle 80 is a schematic representation of the dispersing unit containing the first dispersing chamber 10 and the driving means 12 and, if provided, the second dispersing chamber 60 and the dispersing tool 61.
- reference numeral 81 designates the liquid inlet 40 in the absence of the second dispersing chamber 60 or the inlet 71, if present.
- the supply container 83 for receiving the substance to be dispersed is connected by a line 84 to the substance inlet 30.
- a container 86 which serves for the separation of gas and / or non-dispersed material.
- a return line 87 as shown in the Fig. 4 is shown in dashed lines, be provided, which connects the separation vessel 86 with the supply container 83 to return the separated gas or the deposited material.
- Supply line 88 which is connected to the inlet 81, serves to supply the liquid.
- Discharge line 89 which opens into the recirculation line 85, serves to remove the dispersion made of liquid and fabric.
- the lines 84, 88 and 89 are provided in known manner with valves 90, 91 and 92, respectively, in order to open and block the respective passage.
- a dispersing tool 61 measures must be taken to minimize the amount of air in the liquid to be processed. Too much air may cause no liquid to pass through the slots 64 of the sprockets, thus interrupting operation. Contains now the liquid leaving the outlet 35, in addition to the substance and ambient air, it can be deposited in the separation vessel 86 and a safe operation of the dispersing 61 are ensured.
- the dispersing device it is also possible to form the dispersing device as a closed system, so that gas exchange with the environment is prevented.
- the feed tank 83 and the separation tank 86 are formed closed in this case.
- the use of a closed system is advantageous, for example, if the substance to be dispersed is a very fine powder and unwanted powder deposits in the environment are to be avoided. If the powder is difficult to disperse and / or very fine, it may be that undispersed powder is still present in the air, which is in the separation tank 86. This can be returned via the return line 87 to the feed container.
- the use of a closed system is also advantageous when there is a risk of dust explosions when dispersing powdered material.
- the air in the dispersing device in particular in the feed tank 83 and in the separating tank 86, is replaced by an inert gas, for example nitrogen. During operation, this is deposited in the separation vessel 86 and returned via the return line 87 into the supply container 83.
- FIG. 5 shows a variant of the dispersing device for a batch operation, wherein in the FIGS. 4 and 5 like parts are provided with the same reference numerals.
- the rectangle with the reference numeral 82 represents schematically a container in which the liquid is received. If no deposition of gas and / or non-dispersed matter is required, the separation vessel 86 may also be omitted.
- the container is connected to the inlet 81 via the line 88 'and to the outlet 35 via the lines 89' and 85 '.
- the liquid is passed several times through the dispersing unit 80, in which the substance is added from the supply container 83, and through the container 82 until the desired substance concentration and homogeneity is achieved.
- the dispersion thus prepared is finally collected in the container 82 and this separated from the dispersion 80. It can be made in a simple manner certain batches of dispersions.
- the dispersing unit 80 may be e.g. be arranged in a processing line, in which liquid is continuously supplied through the inlet 81 and material through the inlet 30 of the dispersion 80 and mixed and the resulting dispersion is supplied via the outlet 35 for further processing.
- the dispersing device according to the invention can be used in a variety of ways to produce material in one Liquid to disperse.
- the substance may be in solid, liquid or gaseous phase or as a mixture of different phases.
- the dispersing device according to the invention is suitable for dispersing flowable solid substances, eg powders, dyes, fillers, substances from the food industry and / or generally insoluble substances, eg difficultly wettable powder, such as metallic powder.

Die Dispergierkammer 10 ist oben mit einer Abdeckung 29 versehen, welche einen Stoffeinlass 30 zum Einleiten von Stoff in die Dispergierkammer 10 sowie einen Auslass 35 zum Ableiten des Produkts aus der Dispergierkammer 10 enthält.The
Stoffeinlass 30 und Auslass 35 sind jeweils mit einer Zuleitung 31 bzw. 36 verbunden. Ist, wie oben erwähnt, die Welle 19 waagrecht ausgerichtet, so ist es vorteilhaft, den Stoffeinlass 30 auf einem höheren Niveau als den Auslass 35 anzuordnen.
Wie aus
Ist die Form der Zuleitung 31 zum Stoffeinlass 30 zylindrisch, so kann - falls erforderlich - der Übergang der Zuleitung 31 in die Sichelform des Stoffeinlasses 30 so optimiert sein, dass auch bei hoher Turbulenz keine Flüssigkeit aus der Dispergierkammer 10 in den Stoffeinlass 30 hineinspritzen kann. Der Übergang ist dazu im Querschnitt nicht abrupt, sondern beispielsweise rampenförmig ausgebildet, sodass in Flussrichtung gesehen der Mittelteil des Stoffeinlasses höher liegt als seine beiden Enden.If the shape of the

Vorzugsweise ist die Scheibe 41 verdrehbar angeordnet, sodass die Position des Flüssigkeitseinlasses 40 in Bezug auf die neutrale Achse, welche durch die Punkte 16 und 18 geht, veränderbar ist. Die Dispergiervorrichtung umfasst weiter Pumpmittel 61, um Flüssigkeit durch den Flüssigkeitseinlass 40 in die Dispergierkammer 10 zu befördern.Preferably, the
Die soweit dargestellte Dispergiervorrichtung funktioniert folgendermassen:The dispersing device shown so far works as follows:
Das Flügelrad 12 wird in die in
Zwischen der Basis 15 von benachbarten Flügeln 14 und dem Flüssigkeitsring 47 bildet sich jeweils eine Kavität 50-57 aus, dessen Volumen durch die Rotation des Flügelrades 12 wiederkehrend vergrössert und verkleinert wird, wodurch eine Pumpwirkung erzeugt wird. Wird z.B. von der in
Die Kavität 50 durchläuft anschliessend den Bereich der in
Die Dispergierkammer 10 ist so ausgelegt, dass die Strömungsverhältnisse in der Regel turbulent sind und eine Feinverteilung des Stoffes in der Flüssigkeit begünstigt wird.The
Durch Drehen der Scheibe 41 kann das Mischverhältnis von Stoff und Flüssigkeit eingestellt werden. Dabei wird die Position des Flüssigkeitseinlasses 40 entweder mehr in Richtung der Druckseite oder mehr in Richtung der Saugseite verschoben, sodass entsprechend die Flüssigkeitsmenge reguliert wird, welche pro Zeiteinheit in die Dispergierkammer 10 strömt.By turning the
Durch die Rotation des Antreibemittels 12 findet eine intensive Benetzung des Stoffs in der Dispergierkammer 10 statt. Dadurch ist insbesondere bei pulverförmigen Stoffen die Gefahr der Klumpenbildung nahezu ausgeschlossen. Dies wird auch wirksam dadurch vermieden, dass die Dispergierkammer 10 so ausgestaltbar ist, dass sie frei von engen Spalten oder sonstigen engen Zwischenräumen ist. Im Weiteren wird während des Betriebs ein hohes Vakuum bei gleichzeitiger hoher Saugleistung erzeugt und dies im Wesentlichen unabhängig vom Flüssigkeitsdurchsatz und in einem gewissen Grad auch unabhängig vom Druck am Auslass 35 ist. Dadurch ist insbesondere bei pulverförmigen Stoffen ein staubfreies Einarbeiten in die Flüssigkeit gewährleistet. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die erzeugbare Saugleistung ausreichend ist, um auch schwere Pulver, z.B. metallhaltige Pulver, einsaugen zu können.Due to the rotation of the driving means 12, intensive wetting of the substance in the dispersing
Die Saug- und Pumpwirkung der hier beschriebenen Dispergiervorrichtung kommt auf ähnliche Weise zustande wie bei Wasserringpumpen. Im Unterschied zu diesen Pumpen dient hier aber die Dispergiervorrichtung zum optimalen Einsaugen, Benetzen und Dispergieren von Stoff mit bzw. in der Flüssigkeit. Die Dispergiervorrichtung weist dazu einen Flüssigkeitseinlass 40 auf, sodass beim Betrieb die Flüssigkeit im Ring laufend ausgetauscht wird. Wasserringpumpen hingegen enthalten als Arbeitsflüssigkeit Wasser, welches permanent in der Arbeitskammer verbleibt.The suction and pumping action of the dispersing device described here comes about in a similar way as for water ring pumps. In contrast to these pumps, however, the dispersing device is used here for optimum suction, wetting and dispersion of substance with or in the liquid. For this purpose, the dispersing device has a
In einer ersten Weiterführung der Dispergiervorrichtung ist der Auslass 35 mit dem Flüssigkeitseinlass 40 fluidisch verbunden. Dies erlaubt es, die Flüssigkeit mehrmals durch die Dispergierkammer 10 zu leiten. Durch diese Rezirkulation ist es z.B. möglich, die Flüssigkeit sukzessive mit Stoff aufkonzentrieren und/oder eine besonders homogene Verteilung des Stoffes in der Flüssigkeit zu erzielen. Im letzteren Fall wird vorteilhafterweise der Stoffeinlass 30 z.B. mittels Ventil geschlossen und die Dispersion mehrmals durch die Dispergierkammer 10 geleitet.In a first continuation of the dispersing device, the
In einer zweiten Weiterführung der Dispergiervorrichtung, welche ebenfalls in
Das Dispergierwerkzeug 61 umfasst Rotor 62 und Stator 63, wobei der Rotor 62 vorteilhafterweise auf derselben Welle 19 angebracht ist wie das Flügelrad 12. Dies erlaubt es, denselben Antrieb zu benutzen, um das Flügelrad 12 sowie das Dispergierwerkzeug 61 in Bewegung zu versetzen.The dispersing
Bei der Inbetriebnahme der Dispergiervorrichtung wird zuerst mittels des Dispergierwerkzeugs 61 Flüssigkeit aus der Zufuhrkammer 70 angesaugt und über den Flüssigkeitseinlass 40 in die erste Dispergierkammer 10 gepumpt, wo sich - wie oben bereits erläutert - ein Flüssigkeitsring bildet. Stoff wird durch den Stoffeinlass 30 eingesaugt und in der Flüssigkeit dispergiert. Die dabei entstehende Dispersion wird über den Auslass 35 und den Einlass 71 zurück in die Zufuhrkammer 70 geleitet. Die Flüssigkeit und der darin enthaltende Stoff wird beim Durchtritt durch die Schlitze 64 von Rotor 62 und Stator 63 entsprechend bearbeitet, sodass eine verfeinerte und homogenisierte Verteilung des Stoffes resultiert. Die Flüssigkeit zirkuliert mehrmals zwischen der ersten und zweiten Dispergierkammer 10 bzw. 60, bis die gewünschte Stoffkonzentration und/oder bis eine genügend homogene Dispersion erreicht ist.When the dispersing device is put into operation, liquid is first sucked in from the
Das Vorsehen von zwei Dispergierkammern 10 und 60 hat den Vorteil, dass die Benetzung des Stoffes mit Flüssigkeit und die Bearbeitung mit dem Dispergierwerkzeug 61 in separaten Kammern erfolgen und sich so die beiden Vorgänge nicht gegenseitig beeinflussen. Es können so besonders homogene Dispersionen hergestellt werden, ohne dass Probleme mit Klumpenbildung und/oder mit unerwünschter Staubbildung bei pulverförmigen Stoffen auftreten.The provision of two
Ist ein Dispergierwerkzeug 61 vorgesehen, so sind Massnahmen zu treffen, dass in der zu bearbeitenden Flüssigkeit möglichst wenig Luft enthalten ist. Ein zu grosser Luftanteil kann dazu führen, dass keine Flüssigkeit mehr durch die Schlitze 64 der Zahnkränze befördert wird und somit der Betrieb unterbrochen ist. Enthält nun die Flüssigkeit, welche den Auslass 35 verlässt, nebst dem Stoff auch Umgebungsluft, so kann diese im Abscheidebehälter 86 abgeschieden und ein sicherer Betrieb des Dispergierwerkzeugs 61 gewährleistet werden.If a dispersing
Es ist auch möglich, die Dispergiervorrichtung als geschlossenes System auszubilden, sodass ein Gasaustausch mit der Umgebung unterbunden ist. Der Zufuhrbehälter 83 sowie der Abscheidebehälter 86 sind in diesem Fall geschlossen ausgebildet.It is also possible to form the dispersing device as a closed system, so that gas exchange with the environment is prevented. The
Die Verwendung eines geschlossenen Systems ist beispielsweise dann vorteilhaft, wenn der zu dispergierende Stoff ein sehr feines Pulver ist und unerwünschte Pulverablagerungen in der Umgebung vermieden werden sollen. Ist das Pulver schwer dispergierbar und/oder sehr fein, so ist unter Umständen in der Luft, welche sich im Abscheidebehälter 86 befindet, noch nicht-dispergiertes Pulver vorhanden. Diese kann über die Rückfuhrleitung 87 zum Zufuhrbehälter zurückgeführt werden.The use of a closed system is advantageous, for example, if the substance to be dispersed is a very fine powder and unwanted powder deposits in the environment are to be avoided. If the powder is difficult to disperse and / or very fine, it may be that undispersed powder is still present in the air, which is in the
Die Verwendung eines geschlossenen Systems ist auch dann vorteilhaft, wenn beim Dispergieren von pulverförmigem Stoff die Gefahr von Staubexplosionen besteht. In diesem Fall wird die Luft in der Dispergiervorrichtung, insbesondere im Zufuhrbehälter 83 sowie im Abscheidebehälter 86 durch ein inertes Gas, beispielsweise Stickstoff, ersetzt. Während des Betriebs wird dieses im Abscheidebehälter 86 abgeschieden und über die Rückfuhrleitung 87 in den Zufuhrbehälter 83 zurückgeführt.The use of a closed system is also advantageous when there is a risk of dust explosions when dispersing powdered material. In this case, the air in the dispersing device, in particular in the
Zum Einarbeiten des Stoffs in die Flüssigkeit wird der Behälter über die Leitung 88' an den Einlass 81 und über die Leitungen 89' und 85' an den Auslass 35 angeschlossen. Die Flüssigkeit wird mehrmals durch die Dispergiereinheit 80, in welcher der Stoff aus dem Zufuhrbehälter 83 beigefügt wird, und durch den Behälter 82 geleitet, bis die gewünschte Stoffkonzentration und Homogenität erreicht ist. Die so hergestellte Dispersion wird schliesslich im Behälter 82 gesammelt und dieser von der Dispergiereinheit 80 getrennt. Es können so auf einfache Weise bestimmte Chargen von Dispersionen hergestellt werden.In order to incorporate the substance in the liquid, the container is connected to the
Je nach Anwendungszweck ist eine Rezirkulation der Flüssigkeit bzw. der Dispersion durch die Dispergiereinheit 80 nicht unbedingt erforderlich. Die Dispergiereinheit 80 kann z.B. in einer Verarbeitungslinie angeordnet sein, in welcher laufend Flüssigkeit durch den Einlass 81 sowie Stoff durch den Einlass 30 der Dispergiereinheit 80 zugeführt und vermischt werden und die dabei entstehende Dispersion über den Auslass 35 der Weiterverarbeitung zugeführt wird.Depending on the application, recirculation of the liquid or of the dispersion by the
Die erfindungsgemässe Dispergiervorrichtung kann mannigfaltig eingesetzt werden, um Stoff in einer Flüssigkeit zu dispergieren. Der Stoff kann in fester, flüssiger oder gasförmiger Phase oder als Gemisch von verschiedenen Phasen vorliegen. Insbesondere eignet sich die erfindungsgemässe Dispergiervorrichtung zum Dispergieren von fliessfähigen festen Stoffen, z.B. Pulver, Farbstoffen, Füllstoffen, Stoffen aus der Lebensmittelindustrie und/oder allgemein von unlöslichen Stoffen, z.B. schwer benetzbarem Pulver wie metallischem Pulver.The dispersing device according to the invention can be used in a variety of ways to produce material in one Liquid to disperse. The substance may be in solid, liquid or gaseous phase or as a mixture of different phases. In particular, the dispersing device according to the invention is suitable for dispersing flowable solid substances, eg powders, dyes, fillers, substances from the food industry and / or generally insoluble substances, eg difficultly wettable powder, such as metallic powder.
Aus der vorangehenden Beschreibung sind dem Fachmann zahlreiche Abwandlungen zugänglich, ohne den Schutzbereich der Erfindung zu verlassen, der durch die Ansprüche definiert ist. So sind folgende Abwandlungen oder Erweiterungen denkbar:
- Die Ausgestaltung des Flügelrades ist an die zu erzeugende Strömung in der Dispergierkammer angepasst.
Figuren 6 und 7 zeigen eine Variante des Flügelrades 12', bei welcher dieFlügel 93 schräg zur Rotationsachse angeordnet sind. Diese Anordnung erlaubt es, besonders turbulente Strömungen in derDispergierkammer 10 zu erzeugen und so die Vermischung des Stoffes in der Flüssigkeit zu begünstigen. - Die
30, 35Form der Öffnungen und 40 braucht nicht genau so zu sein, wie inFig. 2 gezeigt.Fig. 8 zeigt eine Variante, bei welcher die Form des Stoffeinlasses 30' und des Auslasses 35' sichelförmig ist, wobei die jeweils vordere Kante 34 bzw. 44 im Wesentlichen gerade ist. Der Flüssigkeitseinlass 40' ist im Wesentlichen viereckig. - Es ist auch denkbar, mehrere Stoffeinlässe 30, 30',
Auslässe 35, 35' und/oder Flüssigkeitseinlässe 40, 40' vorzusehen, die in geeigneter Weise in den Zonen mit Überdruck bzw. Unterdruck oder in der neutralen Zone angeordnet sind. - Anstelle einer exzentrischen Anordnung des Flügelrades 12, 12' ist es auch denkbar, die
Wandung 11 ellipsenförmig auszugestalten unddas Flügelrad 12, 12' in der Mitte anzuordnen. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung der Dispergierkammer 10 ergeben sich vier neutrale Zonen, wo weder eine Saugnoch eine Pumpwirkung erzeugt wird, sowie jeweils zwei Zonen mit Überdruck bzw. Unterdruck. Die Wandung 11der Dispergierkammer 12 kann aufgeraut und/oder mit zusätzlichen Schikanen in Form von Vertiefungen und/oder hervorspringenden Elementen versehen sein. Dadurch kann auch Nahe der Wandung 11 eine turbulente Strömung erzeugt werden und so der Flüssigkeitsaustausch innerhalb des Flüssigkeitsrings 47 begünstigt werden. Dies ist besonders bei schweren Stoffen vorteilhaft, da ein Aufkonzentrieren im äusseren Bereich des Flüssigkeitsringes 47 vermieden wird.- Je nach Bedarf kann es erforderlich sein, anstelle eines Dispergierwerkzeugs 61 mehrere Dispergierwerkzeuge zu verwenden, um die Flüssigkeit und den darin enthaltenden Stoff in geeigneter Weise bearbeiten zu können.
- The design of the impeller is adapted to the flow to be generated in the dispersing chamber.
FIGS. 6 and 7 show a variant of the impeller 12 ', in which thewings 93 are arranged obliquely to the axis of rotation. This arrangement makes it possible to generate particularly turbulent flows in thedispersion chamber 10 and thus promote the mixing of the substance in the liquid. - The shape of the
30, 35 and 40 need not be exactly as inopenings Fig. 2 shown.Fig. 8 shows a variant in which the shape of the material inlet 30 'and the outlet 35' is crescent-shaped, wherein the respective 34 and 44 is substantially straight. The liquid inlet 40 'is substantially quadrangular.front edge - It is also conceivable to provide a plurality of
material inlets 30, 30 ',outlets 35, 35' and / orliquid inlets 40, 40 ', which are suitably arranged in the zones with overpressure or underpressure or in the neutral zone. - Instead of an eccentric arrangement of the
impeller 12, 12 ', it is also conceivable to design thewall 11 elliptical and to arrange theimpeller 12, 12' in the middle. In this embodiment of thedispersion chamber 10 there are four neutral zones, where neither a suction nor a pumping action is generated, and two zones each with overpressure or negative pressure. - The
wall 11 of the dispersingchamber 12 may be roughened and / or provided with additional baffles in the form of recesses and / or protruding elements. As a result, a turbulent flow can also be generated close to thewall 11 and thus the fluid exchange within thefluid ring 47 can be promoted. This is particularly advantageous for heavy materials, since a concentration in the outer region of theliquid ring 47 is avoided. - Depending on requirements, it may be necessary to use a plurality of dispersing tools instead of a dispersing
tool 61 in order to be able to process the liquid and the substance contained therein in a suitable manner.
