Definitions

  • the invention relates to a homogenizer for the homogenization or dispersion of flowable materials, with a rotatably mounted at least one rotor, and rotatable by means of a, in particular controllable, drive rotatable shaft and with a rotor cooperating with the stator, wherein between the rotor and the stator at least one shear gap is formed.
  • the invention further relates to a homogenizer for homogenizing or dispersing flowable materials, with a particular equipped with a return container with at least one branching off of the container and leading into an inlet of a homogenizer of the aforementioned type branch line.
  • Such homogenizers are widely used for the homogenization or dispersion of flowable substances, such as liquid to more or less viscous substances or mixtures of substances, for example emulsions, dispersions, etc., for example in the chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries. It will be the homogenizers often operated together with a stirred tank, wherein the homogenizer in a outgoing from the container and optionally in this recirculating line, preferably at a level in the region of the lowest point of the container or below it, may be arranged, so that the homogenizer in addition to the agitator of the container contributes to a proper homogenization or dispersion of the product.
  • the homogenizing effect is based primarily on the entry of shear forces on the flowable substances by rotation of the rotor, which cooperates with the counterpart stationary stator.
  • the rotor may have one or more rotor blades, for example, in each case one arranged on both sides of the stator rotor blade, each defining a shearing gap between itself and the stator.
  • generic homogenizers offer the advantage of a simpler and more cost-effective design and, in particular, a lower-wear operation.
  • the rotational speed of the rotor with respect to the stationary stator can be controllable, the shear effect increasing with increasing rotational speed of the rotor.
  • the conveying effect of the homogenizer increases with increasing speed of its rotor, so that the conveying effect is coupled directly to the shearing action of the homogenizer. This is usually due to the fact that due to the relative movement between the rotor and stator in the shear gap formed between the rotor and the stator, a speed-dependent negative pressure is generated, which is to be processed Suction product and push through the gap radially outward.
  • the EP 1 395 354 B1 and DE 296 08 712 A1 describe a homogenizer in which the shear gap formed between the rotor and the stator is variable by axial displacement of the rotor. If at high speed of the rotor and consequent high conveying and heavy action latter are reduced, it can be increased in this way, the gap formed between the rotor and stator. However, even at maximum gap width of the rotor / stator system, the materials to be processed are still exposed to a not inconsiderable shearing action, and solid particles which are sensitive to mechanical action can not be dispersed in this way.
  • the invention has the object of providing a homogenizer of the type mentioned in a simple and cost-effective way to the effect that its shearing effect can be limited to a minimum extent with continuous promotion, to him also an application for the processing of both very shear-sensitive substances as well to develop mechanical action of sensitive solid particles.

  • the inventive design makes it possible in a structurally simple manner that the shearing effect can be lowered by a constant, at least by the rotation of the rotor effected flow through the homogenizer on a comparison with the prior art unequal lesser level up to virtually zero by the flowable product is passed past the rotor displaced from the stator, the rotor / stator system is thus "bypassed".
  • the stator is displaced into its second position in which it is arranged axially next to the rotor and consequently the shearing gap formed between it and the rotor in the radial direction is no longer present.
  • the flowable substances are now only by the centrifugal forces caused by the rotor, possibly supported by a conveyor (see below), conveyed through the homogenizer through which no or at most very low shear forces in the product or in the - for example from a liquid or viscous matrix with herein einisperg convinced, against mechanical stress sensitive solid particles formed product mixture are registered, but nevertheless provided for a certain, very gentle mixing / homogenizing effect. If, on the other hand, stronger shear forces are to be introduced into the product, then the stator is displaced into its at least one first position, in which it is arranged at least partially radially next to the rotor and forms a shear gap between itself and the rotor.
