Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for mixing, in particular dispersing, according to the preamble of the independent claims.
  • mixing is understood to mean combining substances or substance flows in such a way that a composition that is as uniform as possible is achieved;
  • mixing is used in particular to produce dispersions, that is to say dispersing.
  • a dispersion is understood here to be a heterogeneous mixture of at least two substances which do not or hardly dissolve in one another or which combine chemically with one another.
  • one substance (disperse phase) is distributed as finely as possible into another substance (dispersion medium or continuous phase), if necessary using grinding aids;
  • agitator mills for example, spherical auxiliary grinding bodies are often used.
  • the present invention relates above all to (the production of) suspensions - that is to say dispersions in which a liquid forms the continuous phase and a solid forms the disperse phase.
  • dispersions in which a liquid forms the continuous phase and a solid forms the disperse phase.
  • the comminution can typically be the dissolution of agglomerates into primary particles. Aggregates or associates (if agglomeration is brought about by van der Wals forces or stronger types of chemical formation) can, however, be comminuted when dispersed into primary particles.
  • agglomerates can also be dissolved in devices without auxiliary grinding bodies, such as in a disperser or dissolver
  • devices with auxiliary grinding bodies are required for the comminution of aggregates or crystals, such as an agitator mill with spherical auxiliary grinding bodies.
  • aggregates in the broader sense can also be understood to mean larger crystalline or amorphous structures. In the case of the comminution of aggregates, crystalline or amorphous structures, this is referred to as true comminution.
  • Apparatus of the generic type for mixing two substances usually have a housing and a rotor rotating therein.
  • the substances are introduced into the housing by means of at least one feed line.
  • the substances are mixed by means of the rotor and then discharged from the housing.
  • the device for dispersing comprises a chamber for dispersing, at least one stirring disk, an inlet through which the liquid with the material to be treated and the dispersion medium are sucked in by the rotation of the stirring disk, an outlet and a separating device.
  • the separation device is arranged at the outlet.
  • the auxiliary grinding bodies are removed by means of the separating device separated from the dispersion.
  • the separation device can discharge the dispersion through the outlet, with the grinding aids being retained as described.
  • the DE 10 2010 053 484 discloses an agitator ball mill with a separating device for auxiliary grinding bodies, the separating device being arranged around an axis of rotation.
  • the separating device consists of two components, one component being at least one separating device and a second component being a dynamic element for generating a material flow.
  • the device comprises a very small dynamic gap as a separating device, so that the delivery rate is reduced.
  • the DE 1 507 493 discloses an agitator ball mill with disk-shaped agitating tools in a cylindrical housing, one or two disks being attached above the rotor which produce dynamic gaps with stator elements.
  • the delivery rate is very limited due to the small number of outlet gaps.
  • the possibility of the mixture emerging from the device is only possible very locally.
  • the DE 35 21 668 discloses an agitator mill in which the separating device for separating the grinding media consists of a sieve. Such a sieve can easily become clogged and thus increases the maintenance frequency of the device.
  • the pamphlet EP0376001 A1 discloses an agitator mill with separator and rotating cage.
  • the throughput is increased in that the separating device has an effective area, the size of which is at least 20% of the inner area of the grinding container that delimits the grinding space.
  • the flow through the grinding device is rapid and the material to be ground must very often through the Device are guided in order to achieve sufficient shredding performance.
  • the pamphlet U.S. 4,136,971 discloses an apparatus for generating acoustic oscillations in a liquid.
  • the liquid flows through openings in the periphery of a rotor and a stator.
  • the openings are brought into congruence at regular time intervals, the number of openings in the rotor being a multiple of the number of openings in the stator.
  • the pamphlet U.S. 3,195,867 discloses an apparatus for homogenizing liquids comprising an annular stator having helically arranged circular openings and a rotor rotating about the stator having two sets of axially extending openings.
  • the shape of the openings should provide a circulation effect.
  • the pamphlet EP 0 420 981 A1 discloses an apparatus for generating acoustic vibrations in a liquid.
  • the device comprises a rotor and a stator arranged therein, each of which has continuous channels. At least one channel of the rotor coincides with a channel of the stator.
  • JP 2015 029943 discloses a multi-stage gap separator comprising an apertured rotor and an apertured stator, the rotor being rotatably disposed within the cylindrical stator.
  • the gap separator is arranged in a container in such a way that the material to be processed in the container below the separator is stirred by a stirring element and is removed from the container through the gap separator.
  • the object is achieved by a device and a method for mixing according to the characterizing part of the independent claims.
  • the object is achieved by a device according to claim 1.
  • the openings of the first gap-forming element and the openings of the second gap-forming element are arranged in such a way that a mixture of the supplied substances can be conducted through the openings in the two gap-forming elements from the first into the second process area.
  • Such a device leads to a high throughput without the risk of clogging.
  • the gap-forming elements must be rotatable relative to one another, so that both elements can also be designed to be rotatable. In this case, the rotational speeds and / or the direction of rotation must differ.
  • the openings in the gap-forming elements are arranged in such a way that the openings do not overlap and material can only pass from the openings of the first gap-forming element to the openings of the second gap-forming element through a gap between the openings. After passing through the gap, the openings should allow a large flow of material and therefore have a large opening diameter / opening cross-section compared to the gap.
  • the gap according to the invention is formed between the two gap-forming elements.
  • the smallest dimension of the openings in the first gap-forming element is preferably at least 3 times as large as the largest dimension of the gap between the two gap-forming elements. It is also preferred the smallest dimension of the openings in the second gap-forming element at least 3 times as large as the largest dimension of the gap between the two gap-forming elements.
  • the dimensions of the annular gaps must, of course, essentially correspond to the dimensions of the gap between the gap-forming elements or be smaller than the gap between the gap-forming elements.
  • a high flow rate is achieved through a large number of annular gaps.
  • the gap according to the invention between the first gap-forming element and the second gap-forming element has a separating function. The expansion of the gap prevents particles that are larger than the gap from entering the second process area.
  • At least one, preferably two, preferably dynamic, gaps can be formed between the housing and the first gap-forming element.
  • the first gap-forming element can surround the second gap-forming element and a gap of at most 3 mm, preferably 1.0 mm and particularly preferably 0.5 mm can be formed between the two elements.
  • the minimum gap has a transverse dimension of 0.1 mm.
  • a gap is formed between the two gap-forming elements, the maximum extent of which is smaller than the smallest element of the grinding media that is in the device are or are filled.
  • the gap is preferably a maximum of half as large as the diameter of the smallest grinding body.
  • the first gap-forming element is preferably designed as a rotor, so that the grinding tools on the rotor are used to generate the movement of the materials supplied and possibly the grinding media, thus achieving dispersion in the first process area.
  • the first gap-forming element can extend essentially completely along a length of the first process region. In this way, a large area is provided with gaps that cannot clog and still achieve a large flow.
  • grinding media can be filled, the forwarding of which into the second process area can be prevented by gaps, in particular dynamic gaps.
  • the dynamic gaps can be formed between the first gap-forming element and the second gap-forming element and additionally between the first gap-forming element and the housing. This means that only ready-dispersed material arrives into the second process area and blockage of the gap is not possible due to the movement at the gap edges.
  • no static separating device is formed between the first and the second process area.
  • a static separator is one in which the edges of the openings through which the mixture passes do not move. Static separation devices are therefore in particular permanently mounted screens.
  • the second gap-forming element can be designed as a static separating device, the openings in the static separating device preferably being smaller than the minimum diameter of the grinding media.
  • the openings in the static separating device are particularly preferably formed by annular gaps.
  • Such a static separating device reliably keeps grinding media and excessively large particles from the second process area.
  • Both gap-forming elements can be cylindrical or conical.
  • the gap-forming elements could be designed as circular disks, which are arranged between the first and the second process area.
  • the gap between the first gap-forming element and the second gap-forming element can have a longitudinal extent which is formed parallel to the axis of rotation.
  • the gap can be formed essentially perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
  • the gap can be formed at an angle of 1 ° to 89 ° to the axis of rotation.
  • the openings of the gap-forming elements extend over a length of at least 50%, preferably 60%, particularly preferably 70% of the length of the first gap-forming element in the first process area. A high throughput can thus be achieved.
  • the relative information does not relate to the extent of the openings, but to the area that is provided with openings.
  • two or more bores on the circumference of the second gap-forming element can be connected to one another by a groove, preferably a milled groove. Of course, the groove must not overlap with the openings in the first gap-forming element. This allows a large outflow volume to be created and the mixture is quickly discharged into the second process area.
  • the housing of the device can further comprise a pump housing or be connected to a pump housing, which is a Pump forms on the housing of the device.
  • the pump housing and housing of the device can be designed in one piece or in several pieces. In the case of a multi-piece design, the pump housing is preferably flanged onto the housing of the device.
  • a pump is arranged in the pump housing. Thus, the required pump is directly connected to the device for mixing and only one control and fewer external lines are necessary.
  • the same shaft can be used to drive the pump as to drive the moving gap-forming element and / or the grinding tools. This leads to fewer individual parts and therefore less complexity.
  • the pump housing includes a pump inlet and a pump outlet.
  • the pump can be a centrifugal pump, a liquid ring pump, a side channel pump or a displacement pump such as an impeller pump.
  • the object is also achieved by a method according to claim 10.
  • the dispersion in the first process area can be achieved using grinding media and / or grinding tools. Grinding tools can be disks or pins or similar grinding tools that are already known from the prior art. Grinding media are hard, round or elliptical bodies that help disperse the material. The grinding media are adapted to the desired degree of dispersion and can also have a different size depending on the substance introduced. The grinding media are held up by the gap / the gap between the gap-forming elements and / or the housing.
  • the dispersion can be achieved by grinding media which have a diameter which is at least 1.5 times, preferably 3 times, in particular 10 times larger than the transverse dimension of the largest gap.
  • the grinding media cannot pass through the gap and the gap serves as a dynamic separating device.
  • the mixture can be passed through at least 4, preferably 20, particularly preferably 100, openings in the first gap-forming element.
  • the mixture can furthermore by at least 4, preferably at least 50, particularly preferably min. 200 openings are passed in the second gap-forming element.
  • An optimized throughput of mixture can thus be achieved through the number of openings.
  • the openings in the second gap-forming element can be at least partially formed by bores.
  • two or more bores on the circumference can be connected to one another by a groove, preferably a milled groove.
  • the groove must not overlap with the openings in the first gap-forming element. This allows a large outflow volume to be created and the mixture is quickly discharged into the second process area.

  • the second gap-forming element 9 further comprises a connecting groove 29 which connects the openings 10 along the circumference of the second gap-forming element. This enables the mixture to be transported away more effectively after passing through the gap.
