Abstract

Es wird eine Vorrichtung (1) zum Homogenisieren und/oder Dispergieren fließfähiger, insbesondere flüssiger oder pastöser Stoffe als Stoffvorlage bereitgestellt, welche einen Behälter (2) für die Stoffvorlage und eine motorbetriebene Homogenisier- und/oder Dispergiereinrichtung (6) umfaßt. Die Stoffvorlage wird von einem Behälterauslaß (4) mittels einer Förderpumpe (5) zur Homogenisier- und/oder Dispergiereinrichtung (6) gefördert, welcher gegebenenfalls Eintragseinrichtung (9) für Additive in flüssiger oder pulvriger Form zugeordnet sind. Die Homogenisier- und/oder Dispergiereinrichtung (6) gestattet gegebenenfalls auslaßseitig eine Rückförderung in den Behälter (2). Nach der Erfindung ist die Förderpumpe (5) gesondert zur Homogenisier- und/oder Dispergiereinrichtung (6) angetrieben, und es ist ein Sensor (14), vorzugsweise ein Drucksensor, zwischen dem Pumpenauslaß und der Einlaßseite der Homogenisier- und/oder Dispergiereinrichtung (6) angeordnet. Der Sensor (14) steuert den gesonderten Antrieb (8) der Förderpumpe (5) variabel nach Maßgabe der Fließeigenschaften der Stoffvorlage und/oder entsprechender Prozeßparameter derart, daß die Produktstromführung zur Homogenisier- und/oder Dispergiereinrichtung (6) immer unter Vordruck erfolgt.
