Definitions

  • the invention relates to an inliner for lining a mixed container, as they are used in industrial mixing machines. Also described are an arrangement comprising a mixing container with an inliner inserted therein and a method for operating an industrial mixer machine with a mixing container lined with an inliner.
  • Such a mixing container is a roundish steel container. This has on the upper side a filling opening and in the region of its upper end on an outwardly projecting container flange.
  • a mixing container has an upper cylindrical section, to which a conical-shaped section adjoins an emptying opening downwards, through which the inner diameter of the mixing container is tapered in the manner of a funnel to the outlet channel arranged on the underside. Within the outlet channel an outlet flap is arranged.
  • the outlet channel also typically has a circular cross-sectional area.
  • the correspondingly circular or with a certain ovality respects their outer contour manufactured run-up flap carries on the outside circumferentially a seal which acts in the closed position of the outlet flap against the inner wall of the bake channel.
  • the mixing container is then closed.
  • the mixing container is connected with its container flange to the complementary flange of a mixing head of an industrial mixing machine.
  • the mixing head itself carries one or more mixing tools. If the mixing container filled with the mixture to be mixed is connected to the mixing head, this unit is rotated by about 180 degrees so that the mixing head is at the bottom and the mixing container is at the top.
  • the mixing chamber in which the mix is mixed, is thus formed from the space provided by the mixing container cavity and that of the mixing head.
  • the at least one mixing tool is rotationally driven and generates a mixed material flow in the mixing space formed by the mixing container and the mixing head, typically in the manner of a thrombus.
  • a certain heat input into the mix is unavoidable when performing a mixing due to shear forces occurring especially between the one or more mixing tools and the particles of the mix, but also when hitting Mischgutpellen on the inner wall of the mixing container. This sometimes leads to material caking on the mixing container wall, especially in those areas on which the mixed material stream impinges.
  • such industrial mixing machines are used to mix different blends.
  • the components of the mixing machine coming into contact with the mix are to be cleaned before another mix can be mixed therein.
  • the cleaning of the mixing container may well be 1 to 2 hours.
  • a cleaning of the mixing head is easier, since in this wall caking as good as not occur.
  • the or the mixing tools can be removed and easily cleaned outside the mixing head.
  • the inner surface of the mixing head to be cleaned is several times lower than that of the mixing container.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to propose a solution, whereby the cleaning of a mixing container is considerably simplified.
  • an inliner for lining a top side a filler opening and a radially outwardly projecting flange and the underside an outlet channel having therein from an open position to a closed position and reversibly adjustable outlet flap having Mischcontainers, for the process of mixing therein introduced pourable mix to a one or more mixing tools carrying mixing head of an industrial mixing machine can be connected, which inliner on the upper side a radially outwardly projecting and, when used in the mixing container, comes to rest on the flange of the mixing container flange and carries on the underside a projecting into the outlet channel of the mixing container outlet channel extension has, which extends with such a length in the outlet channel of the mixing container, that this extends at least up to the outlet flap located in its closed position.
  • the inside wall of the mixing container does not come into contact with the mix, especially during the mixing process.
  • the inliner itself is a component typically made of a film which can be used for one or more mixing processes with the same mix.
  • Such an inliner is typically a disposable product and can be produced particularly inexpensively, for example, from plastic. It is envisaged that the inliner after a mixing process, when subsequently another mixture is to be mixed, is removed from the mixing container and disposed of.
  • the inliner itself is detachably inserted into the cavity of the mixing container. According to a preferred embodiment, this is held therein by jamming.
  • the cleaning of the mixing container itself is therefore basically limited to the area of the outlet flap or the outlet channel. Since these are not flowed through in a mixing process of the Mischgutstrom, at least not directly, no caking can occur on this. Accordingly easy is the cleaning. Typically, a simple wiping of the mixing container is sufficient to remain Remove mixed material particles.
  • the decisive factor is that not only the time for cleaning the mixing container itself has been significantly reduced, but also a costly cleaning of the cleaning liquid before it can be disposed of, is eliminated. Some users of such industrial mixing machines have washing facilities for washing out the used mixing containers. The resulting cleaning liquid must be specially disposed of or in turn cleaned. When using a low-cost, designed as inliner disposable product, this problem does not exist.
  • Such an inliner corresponds in terms of its dimensions to the dimensions of the cavity of the mixing container. Without much effort, such an inliner can be made from a suitable plastic. Typically, the plastic used to make the liner is inert with respect to the mix to be blended therein. Particularly advantageous is the use of a polyethylene material, in particular a so-called LDPE for the production of the inliner. An LDPE material for the production of the inliner is especially suitable if color pigments are to be mixed in the inliner.
  • the wall thickness of the inliner used is sufficient to withstand the stresses occurring during the mixing process. This relates to a certain temperature resistance as well as a sufficient mechanical stability with respect to the mixed material particles impinging thereon in the course of the mixing process. Therefore you will not choose the wall thicknesses too thin. Typical is a wall thickness of about 0.5 to 1.5 mm.
  • inliner can be made in one piece, it is also possible to assemble this from several individual parts. These are then preferably welded together. In the case of an inliner with an upper cylindrical section, a conically tapered section adjoining thereto and an outlet channel, this will be produced in four parts, which are then joined together by welding. These items are the upper cylindrical portion, the tapered portion, the cylindrical outlet channel portion, and the flange disposed externally with respect to the filler opening.
  • a made of a steel mixing container 1 sits on a carriage 2.
  • the carriage 2 is used to move the mixing container 1.
  • the mixing container 1 summarizes a cavity 3 a.
  • the mixing container 1 is open on the upper side, wherein the upper opening serves as a filling opening 4.
  • the filling opening 4 is bordered in the radial direction to the outside by a radially projecting Mischcontainerflansch 5.
  • the flange 5 serves to connect the mixing container 1 to a mixing head of an industrial mixing machine carrying one or more mixing tools.
  • the adjacent to the flange 5 section 6 of the mixing container 1 is designed annular cylindrical. At this bordering the underside of an inner width of the annular cylindrical portion 6 tapering section 7, which merges into a lower outlet channel 8.
  • an outlet flap is arranged, which can be adjusted between an open position and a closed position and vice versa.
  • the outlet flap is adjustable by a pivoting movement.
  • the pivot axis is in FIG. 1 indicated by the reference numeral 9.
  • To adjust the outlet flap is a handle 10. In the closed position of the outlet flap this is sealed against the inner wall of the outlet channel 8 at. In the open position the plane of the outlet flap 8 extends parallel or approximately parallel to the inner wall of the outlet channel 8.
  • mixing container 1 is ultimately one such as this is known and is often already used.
  • an inliner 11 Before mixing material to be mixed is introduced into the cavity 3 of the mixing container 1 when the outlet flap is closed, an inliner 11 is inserted into the mixing container 1.
  • the inliner 11 thus clothes the interior of the mixing container 1 completely in the manner of a protective film.
  • the size and dimension of the inliner 11 is adapted to the size of the interior 3 of the mixing container 1.
  • the inliner 11 rests with its outer side against the inner wall of the mixing container 1.
  • the inliner 11 likewise has a ring-cylindrical section 12, a tapered section 13 adjoining thereto and an outlet channel extension 14, which extends into the outlet channel 8 of the mixing container 1.
  • the outlet channel extension 14 extends beyond the outlet flap into the outlet channel 8.
  • the inliner 11 of the illustrated embodiment consists of a low density polyethylene - a so-called LDPE.
  • the inliner 11 is composed of four individual prefabricated parts that are joined together by welding. The items are the outlet channel extension 14, the two sections 12, 13 and the clamping flange 17.
  • the costs for the production of the liner 11 are very low, compared to the costs associated with the cost of cleaning the interior of the mixing container 1 after a Mixing process are connected.
  • the inliner shown in the figures is a disposable product. This is designed so that in principle a mixing process can be performed. It is understood that the inliner 11 can also be left in the mixing container 1 after a first mixing process, if successively more batches of one and the same mixed material in the mixing container 1 to be mixed.
  • the design of the inliner 11 in the illustrated embodiment is provided such that it can be used for several mixing operations.
  • FIG. 2 shows the mixing container 1, connected to the mixing head 18 of an industrial mixing machine 19. Within the mixing head are set in rotary motion displaceable mixing tools. An electric motor 20 is used for driving the same.
  • the mixing container 1 is brought with its previously inserted therein inliner 11 and the filled mix with its flange 5 to a complementary flange 21 of the mixing head 18 and is pressed by a clamping device 22 against the mixing head flange 21. Between the two flanges 5, 21 of the clamping flange 17 of the inliner 11 is turned on. If it is not possible to dispense with a seal which is otherwise required between the flanges 5, 21, it is provided according to a further development to apply such to the flange 17 of the inliner, for example by vulcanization.
  • the outlet flap 23 can be seen in the enlarged longitudinal sectional illustration of FIG. 2 (bottom right).
  • the outlet flap 23 is shown therein in its closed position. In this acts with its peripheral side against the inner wall of the clamping extensions 16, 16.1 of the outlet channel extension 14, which in turn are pressed with its outer side against the inner wall of the outlet channel 8.
  • a fixing of the inliner 11 in the region of the outlet channel 8 in the manner described above is necessary so that it does not coincide when the unit formed from mixing container 1 and mixing head 18 for the process of mixing is in an overhead arrangement.
  • a mixing chamber formed by the cavity 3 of the mixing container 1 and the interior of the mixing head 18 is built up with a certain overpressure. This serves the purpose that the inliner 11 remains for the process of mixing in its contact position on the inner wall of the mixing container 1, so as not to hinder the mixing process.
