Definitions
- the present invention relates to a food product mixing station for mixing a liquid food product with at least one added ingredient, comprising a mixing vessel, having a mixing chamber, which is provided with at least one primary inlet for supply of the liquid product; and with mixing means which, at least during operation, reside in the mixing chamber for homogenizing the liquid product and said at least one added ingredient.
- An existing mixing station of the type described in the opening paragraph consists of a stationary mixing container with a mixing chamber for receiving therein a liquid and one or more ingredients.
- Accommodated in the mixing chamber is a stirring gear which, when energized, sets the product into movement and eventually mixes the ingredients through the liquid to form a homogenous end product.
- This end product can for instance be a sauce or dressing such as can be used in many types and flavours in, among others, the food processing industry, the kitchen and at table.
- Document GB-A-2 072 030 discloses a food product mixing station in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
- a drawback of the existing mixing station is that, when the composition of the product for preparing is changed, an extensive cleaning programme must be followed in order to remove traces of the previously mixed product from the internal parts of the mixing container, and in particular the stirring gear. This is not only necessary from a hygienic viewpoint, but also serves particularly to prevent cross-contamination of products.
- some ingredients have a poor interaction with the known mixing station in that the structure of the ingredients is adversely affected by the action of the stirring gear.
- European patent application EP 818.235 discloses a mixing station for mixing dry materials, herbs and spices in which such cross-contamination is counteracted in that the filling, mixing and discharge of the products concerned is performed into and from one and the same mixing vessel which travels through the plant. The products are mixed with each other, primarily, by turning over the mixing vessel several times.
- the present invention has for its object, among others, to provide a mixing device station which obviates these drawbacks in at least significant measure.
- a mixing station of the type as mentioned in the opening paragraph is characterized in that the mixing means comprise a mixing device with a primary inlet which is open communication with the mixing chamber to receive a main flow of the product at a first flow speed, with a secondary inlet which is coupled to a feed conduit for a foreign auxiliary fluid to receive an auxiliary flow of asaid foreign auxiliary fluid at a second, higher flow speed; and with a common outlet, shared by the main flow and the auxiliary which opens into the mixing chamber, and in that the mixing vessel is removable from the mixing station to be exchangeable.
- a foreign fluid is here understood to mean a product which differs from the product received in the mixing chamber.
- the possible adverse effect on a structure of ingredients in the product can thus be avoided due to the absence of moving parts acting on the product. Furthermore, the absence of moving parts results in a markedly simpler cleaning step once the product has been prepared, in addition to an increased life span and reduced susceptibility to breakdown.
- the device according to the invention is found to be significantly more effective and more efficient in practice than the existing device, so that a full homogenization can be realized in a considerably shorter time than has been possible heretofore.
- the mixing container comprises a mixing vessel which is removable from the device to be exchangeable.
- the exchangeable mixing vessel can thus be readily removed and exchanged for a subsequent similar mixing vessel.
- An intermediate cleaning step can thus be limited to practically only the mixing device which has been in contact with the product. The danger of cross-contamination can thus be limited to a minimum.
- French patent application FR 2.120.292 describes a mixing station for photographic solutions in which a first fluid is contained in a storage tank and is continuously recirculated to be mixed with a second fluid added externally to the re-circulating flow.
- the mixing station is characterized in that the mixing vessel comprises on a top side a resealable closure for an access opening to the mixing chamber, that the mixing device is mounted on an distal end of a rigid arm which extends at a proximal end from the closure and that the arm comprises the feed conduit for the auxiliary fluid.
- the product for mixing, or at least a fraction thereof, can thus be admitted via the access opening, after which the mixing device can be carried into the mixing chamber in a single operation while the mixing chamber is closed.
- a particular embodiment of the device device according to the invention has is characterized in that the closure is provided with a primary inlet.
- a further particular embodiment of the mixing station has the feature according to the invention that the closure is provided with at least one venting opening.
- the at least one venting opening in the closure herein avoids an inadmissible pressure build-up in an otherwise closed mixing vessel, which could otherwise be the particular consequence of feeding the auxiliary fluid to the mixing chamber.
- a further preferred embodiment of the mixing station is characterized in that the closure is coupled to a linear drive by which the closure can be carried in a substantially linear movement from a rest position located above the mixing vessel into a position ready for operation located on the mixing vessel.
- a further particular embodiment of a mixing station is more particularly characterized here in that the linear drive comprises a carriage traveling on a linear guide, and that the closure extends from the carriage. The closure can thus be operated in fully mechanical manner, wherein the mixing device is also admitted into or removed from the mixing chamber.
- the mixing station is characterized in that the mixing vessel comprises a product outlet, that a further mixing device is provided comprising a primary inlet for a main flow of the product at a first flow speed, a secondary inlet for an auxiliary flow of an auxiliary fluid at a second, significantly higher flow speed, and comprising a shared outlet for the main flow and the auxiliary flow, that at least during operation the primary inlet of the further mixing device is in open communication with the product outlet of the mixing vessel and that at least during operation the shared outlet of the further mixing device is in open communication with the primary inlet of the mixing vessel.
- the mixing station thus comprises at least two mixing devices, one of which is accommodated in the mixing chamber for the purpose of homogenizing the product therein, and another of which is placed outside the mixing container vessel for the purpose of initiating and maintaining a product flow from the product outlet of the mixing vessel to a primary inlet thereof.
- a further particular embodiment of the mixing station according to the invention is characterized for this purpose in that the further mixing device is provided on an inlet side of the main flow with inlet means for adding said at least one ingredient to the main flow.
- a further particular embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that the product outlet of the mixing vessel is closable, and that the further mixing device is provided on an outlet side with a controllable closing means for closing the outlet of the further mixing device.
- the closing means can be opened on the outlet side while the product outlet of the mixing vessel is closed and the auxiliary flow of the auxiliary fluid is maintained in the further mixing device. The auxiliary flow will thus cause an overpressure in the mixing device which will force the product out of the discharge conduits via the primary inlet in the mixing vessel.
- a further particular embodiment of the mixing station according to the invention is characterized in that a releasable discharge conduit is connectable to the product outlet of the mixing vessel, an outer end of which product outlet is in open communication with an inlet side of the further mixing device.
- the discharge conduit can thus be manually or automatically uncoupled from the mixing vessel in simple manner.
- auxiliary fluid for the mixing device of the mixing station according to the invention.
- the auxiliary fluid comprises a gas under high pressure, in particular with a pressure between 500 and 1500 kPa. At such a pressure the fluid is carried at an exceptionally high to supersonic speed into the mixing device.
- the mixing station according to the invention has the feature is characterized in that the mixing device comprises at least one constriction between the inlet for the auxiliary fluid and a mixing cavity. As a consequence of such a constriction the flow speed of the auxiliary fluid will be accelerated to supersonic values. The shockwaves caused thereby provide an exceptionally effective and efficient mixing of the product with the ingredients added thereto without damaging these ingredients.
- the device is characterized in that said conduit is a conduit for carrying superheated steam during operation.
- the superheated steam here also provides a full or partial heating of the product to a desired preparation temperature. Simultaneous sterilization of the product is even a possibility here.
- the mixing station of figures 1 and 2 is disposed on a flat and stable surface 10 and comprises an exchangeable mixing vessel 21. Situated in the mixing vessel is a mixing chamber 20 with a volume of about 150 litres for the purpose of receiving at least one liquid product therein.
- a mixing chamber 20 Situated in the mixing vessel is a mixing chamber 20 with a volume of about 150 litres for the purpose of receiving at least one liquid product therein.
- use is made of wholly stainless steel mixing vessels 21 for the purpose of durability and for reasons of product hygiene.
- the invention is however also suitable for other mixing containers and for smaller and larger vessels,
- a starting point is for instance one or more aqueous or oily basic components of a sauce, dressing, soup or other liquid product mixture of which use is made in the food processing industry or the kitchen. These components are poured into mixing vessel 21 from above via an opening 23 which is provided for this purpose and which is closable by a removable closure 30. For preparation of an end product this liquid fraction must be mixed, usually at an increased preparation temperature, with further ingredients which are added to the product.
- the device comprises mixing means in mixing vessel 21.
- the mixing means comprise a mixing device 40 having a substantially cylindrical internal mixing cavity 44 with an internal diameter of about 47 mm which is in open communication with a primary inlet 41 for a main flow of the product and with a secondary inlet 42 for an auxiliary flow of an auxiliary fluid.
- Mixing cavity 44 debouches in a shared outlet 43 for the main and auxiliary flows.
- auxiliary fluid is superheated steam which is supplied from a steam conduit 10 provided for this purpose at a pressure in the order of 600-1000 kPa and a flow rate of about 600 kg per hour.
- Steam conduit 10 comprises a fixed part 11 and a flexible conduit 12 with which the steam conduit is coupled to mixing device 40.
- Mixing device 40 internally comprises a system of constrictions (not shown) between steam inlet 42 and mixing cavity 44, whereby the auxiliary fluid is injected at a supersonic speed into the mixing cavity at the above stated pressure and flow rate values.
- device 40 herein transports a product flow of a maximum of 55,000 litres per hour, which at the above stated cavity diameter amounts to a maximum flow speed of a maximum of about 8.8 metres per second, this therefore being significantly lower than the flow speed of the auxiliary fluid.
- the supersonic inlet of the auxiliary fluid causes a controlled supersonic shockwave which develops further as the wave penetrates further into the product flow.
- the product flow is herein accelerated and propelled by the auxiliary flow.
- a mixing zone is thus created from a centre of the cavity, in which an exceptionally efficient transfer of momentum from the auxiliary fluid to the product mixture occurs, whereby an exceptionally effective admixing into the product takes place without moving parts acting on the product.
- the constituents in the product do not therefore suffer any damage whatsoever as a result of this mixing.
- the product flow and the auxiliary flow leave mixing device 40 via the shared outlet 43.
- outlet 43 of mixing device 40 is in open communication with mixing chamber 20, whereby a product circulation is initiated in mixing chamber 20 which results within a few minutes in full homogenization of the content of mixing vessel 21. Due to the absence of moving parts or the like acting on the product, damage to the product or other adverse effects on the ingredients are avoided.
- Such a mixing device is for instance described in the international patent application WO 01/94197 .
- Feed means 50 are provided outside mixing vessel 21 for the purpose of adding dry substances as ingredients. These are specifically ingredients such as salts, sugars, binders, herbs, spices and other aromatic and flavouring substances, but also coarser constituents such as optionally dried, shredded vegetables and fruits, raisins, nuts and the like. These ingredients are pre-mixed with each other in a desired mutual ratio and in a quantity adjusted to the volume of the mixing vessel, and guided into the system via a feed funnel 51.
- ingredients such as salts, sugars, binders, herbs, spices and other aromatic and flavouring substances, but also coarser constituents such as optionally dried, shredded vegetables and fruits, raisins, nuts and the like.
- the mixing station of this embodiment comprises close to feed funnel 51 a further mixing device 80 of the same type as mixing device 40 in mixing vessel 21.
- a primary inlet 81 hereof is in open communication with a product outlet 24 of mixing vessel 21 for the purpose of receiving a product flow therefrom.
- the feed funnel 51 debouches into this product flow so that the ingredients added via the funnel are taken up directly into the product flow and (pre-) mixed with the liquid fraction of the product by the further mixing device 80.
- the further mixing device also comprises a secondary inlet 82 for an auxiliary fluid which is also supplied with superheated steam under high pressure of about 600 kPa.
- a shared outlet 83 of the further mixing device for the auxiliary fluid and the main flow the product flow is guided via a product conduit 60 to the mixing vessel.
- the product conduit also comprises one or more fixed parts 61 and one or more flexible conduits 62.
- a primary inlet 31 provided for this purpose in closure 30 the product flow is carried into mixing chamber 24 for homogenizing therein by the primary mixing device 40.
- the further mixing device 80 In the light of the product flows to be processed, it is possible in respect of the further mixing device 80 to suffice with a processing capacity in the order of a quarter of that of mixing device 40 in mixing chamber 20. This is manifested in the size of the further mixing device which, with an internal diameter of 25 millimetres in respect of mixing cavity 84, has significantly less sizeable dimensions than the first mixing device 40 in mixing chamber 20.
- the further mixing device 80 is operated at an auxiliary fluid flow rate of about 180 kg per hour and a maximum product flow therein amounts to about 14,000 litres per hour.
- the flow speed of the main flow amounts in that case to a maximum of about 7.9 metres per second, while the auxiliary fluid is injected supersonically via constrictions provided for this purpose into mixing cavity 84 of mixing device 80.
- the mixing station of this embodiment makes use of removable mixing vessels 21 as mixing vessel. These are open on a top side and can be pre-filled via opening 23 with one or more basic components of the product. These are specifically the liquids which serve as basis for the product, such as for instance food oils and/or water.
- the opening 23 is closed with the closure which is provided for this purpose and which can be moved from a rest position located above mixing vessel 21, as shown in figure 2 , into a position ready for operation on mixing vessel 21 of figure 1 , wherein the top side of the mixing vessel is sealed liquid-tightly.
- closure 30 is connected to a displaceable carriage 36 which is arranged on a linear guide 35 and which is driven via a belt or chain by an electric motor 37.
- Closure 30 is also provided with a primary inlet 31 and a thermometer 33 to enable close monitoring of a product temperature during the process.
- the primary mixing device 40 is also connected to closure 30.
- a rigid arm 32 Placed for this purpose between mixing device 40 and closure 30 is a rigid arm 32 which positions mixing device 40 at a desired depth in mixing vessel 21.
- Rigid arm 32 is hollow and also comprises a part of the feed conduit for the auxiliary fluid.
- the closure is provided with the necessary connections 13 for flexible feed conduits for respectively the product and the auxiliary fluid.
- the mixing device 40, thermometer 33 and primary inlet 31 are brought into position by closing the vessel 21 with closure 30.
- closure 30 is provided at different locations with venting openings 354.
- the mixing vessel On an underside the mixing vessel comprises a product outlet 24 to and from which a flexible product conduit 62 can be coupled and uncoupled in order to respectively incorporate mixing vessel 21 in and release it from the mixing station.
- a free outer end remote from mixing vessel 21 the flexible product conduit 62 is in open communication with a primary inlet 81 of the further mixing device 81.
- a coupling 63 of the flexible conduit to mixing vessel 21 comprises a closing means (not shown) which prevents product escaping from mixing vessel 21 after uncoupling of conduit 62.
- product flows from mixing vessel 21 via product conduit 62 to the further mixing device 80 and is therein mixed with ingredients which have been added via feed funnel 51.
- the product then flows back to mixing vessel 21 via an discharge product conduit 60 with a fixed portion 61 and a flexible portion 62.
- the discharge product conduit 60 herein debouches in primary inlet 31 of closure 30.
- This external product circulation is sustained at least until the desired quantity of ingredients has been introduced via funnel 51 into the product.
- an automatically controllable closure 85 is arranged, closing of which can be actuated in order to end the product circulation outside mixing container vessel 21.
- the mixing station can be utilized in exceptionally versatile and efficient manner.
- the whole content of mixing vessel 21 can thus be fully homogenized within less than 10 minutes.
