Definitions
- the invention relates to a first method for controlling the introduction of a powdery substance into a liquid consisting of at least one component for an inline mixing process according to independent claim 1 and a corresponding second method according to the preamble of independent claim 2, in which the introduction and treatment of the powdery Substance takes place under the reaction kinetic conditions of a residence time behavior of a continuously operating homogeneous reaction vessel, as well as a mixing device for carrying out the respective process.
- mixer technology With a view to the introduction of a powdery substance into a liquid and its uniform distribution and, if necessary, dissolution in the liquid, mixer technology knows mixing processes that are operated intermittently (so-called batch process) or continuously (so-called inline process).
- the mixing of liquid and powdery substance is carried out kinetically in a so-called discontinuously operated reaction vessel (mixing vessel).
- a certain amount of liquid is placed in the mixing container and powdery substance is added until a desired or systematically predetermined dry substance concentration of the powdery substance is present in the liquid.
- Powdered substance and liquid are preferably continuously stirred and / or mixed to form a mixed product and the mixed product is homogenized with the aim of uniformly distributing the powdery substance.
- the powdery substance can be fed in continuously or discontinuously.
- a mixed product produced in a first phase and corresponding to the single-pass process is recirculated through the mixing container in a second phase, with pulverulent material still being fed in either continuously or discontinuously.
- the mixed product is recirculated until it has a dry matter concentration that has grown to a predetermined end value.
- various forms of the method are known which provide that the entire mixed product discharged from the mixing container is either passed directly through the mixing process again or first passed through a storage volume and then likewise fed back into the mixing process. Any distribution ratios can be implemented between these two forms.
- the present invention deals exclusively with mixing processes which are operated in the inline process and here in all possible forms (single pass and any variants of the multiple pass process).
- Mixing methods in this regard and the associated mixing devices were made known to the public, for example, at the following Internet link: "http://www.gea.com/de/products/High-Shear-Inline-Mixer.jsp”.
- the U.S. 3,425,667 A describes a one-pass process for the continuous, controlled mixing of pigments and fillers with binder solutions or other liquids, in which solid and liquid components are in a controlled manner Quantities fed into a flow mixer and mixed there with one another.
- the control involves measuring the ratio of liquid and solid components in the mixture after the mixture has passed through the flow mixer.
- the regulation of the supply of liquid takes place as a function of this measurement, the regulation of the supply of solids comprising separate control means.
- the above-mentioned mixing devices preferably also include so-called vacuum mixers, which have a mixing container with a stirring and / or shearing and homogenizing device.
- the free surface of the liquid, which in the mixing container can, for example, have a free fill level with a height of between 0.4 and 4 m, is subject to a negative pressure corresponding to this height range compared to atmospheric pressure of, for example, 0.2 to 0.8 bar, so that the Liquid can on the one hand be freed from gas components more easily during the mixing process and on the other hand has a negative pressure compared to atmospheric pressure in the bottom area of the mixing container under all operating conditions.
- the powdery substance is introduced into the mixing container via an opening in the container wall below the free fill level.
- This opening continues in a tubular inlet connection in the direction of the outside of the mixing container, to which a pipeline leading, for example, to a powder storage container is connected.
- the inlet nozzle and thus the pipeline can be shut off via an inlet valve that controls the supply of the powdery substance, so that, on the one hand, the mixing device is closed off from its surroundings via this path and, on the other hand, an amount of the powdery substance in the powder storage container is automatically fed to the liquid if necessary due to the prevailing pressure conditions can be.
- a related mixing device with a preferably discontinuous supply of the powdery substance is in the document DE 10 2015 016 766 A1 described.
- a discontinuous supply of the powdery substance as for example in the DE 10 2015 016 766 A is disclosed, has the advantage that the supply always takes place via the fully open position of the inlet valve designed as a lift valve and thereby the risk of clogging of the inlet valve is minimized.
- Addicted from the duration of the respective open position more or less large amounts of the powdery substance are introduced into the liquid in bursts, so that there is basically the risk that there will be corresponding agglomerations of the powdery substance, which are caused by the stirring and / or shearing and homogenizing
- the device must be completely dissolved until the subsequent entry of powdery substance, while at the same time striving for as uniform a distribution of the powdery substance as possible.
- the object of the present invention is to develop two generic methods for controlling the introduction of a powdery substance into a liquid consisting of at least one component for an inline mixing process and associated mixing devices for carrying out the respective process in such a way that the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art be eliminated.
- this object is achieved by a first method with the features of independent claim 1 and by a second method with the features of independent claim 2. Furthermore, the object is achieved in terms of device technology by a mixing device for performing the respective method with the features of claims 12 and 13, respectively.
- the invention is based on a method for controlling the introduction of a powdery substance into a liquid consisting of at least one component for an inline mixing method, where the term “component” is to be understood in such a way that it can generally involve discrete liquids that are separate from one another and that can also be fed to the mixing process separately from one another.
- This first process a so-called single-pass process or a single-stage process, is typically used for the production of low-viscosity base sludge with a low dry matter concentration or, for example, for skimmed milk powder in water or cocoa powder in milk or, more generally, when a powdery substance with good solubility in needs to be resolved in a short time.
- the introduction and treatment of the pulverulent substance takes place under the conditions of a residence time behavior of a continuously operating homogeneous reaction vessel, namely in such a way that the liquid is fed continuously and the pulverulent substance discontinuously to a mixing container, the goal being a predetermined time constant dry matter concentration of the powdery substance in the liquid.
- the liquid and the powdery substance are continuously stirred and / or mixed to form a mixed product and the mixed product is homogenized.
- the treatment processes “stirring”, in which no or only a very low mechanical force is applied to the mixed product, and “mixing”, in which a significant shear force is applied to the mixed product and therefore the “mixing” in this regard as well is classified as “shearing”, with “homogenizing” mostly being an integral part of mixing.
- the mixed product is continuously discharged according to the added amounts of liquid and powdery substance.
- a recipe for the mixed product is given, at least with regard to the given dry matter concentration, and the reaction conditions are given in each case in the form of default data.
- the reaction conditions provide that the powdery substance is sucked in by a negative pressure (vacuum) in the head space of the mixing container compared to atmospheric pressure.
- the dosing pulses are each caused by a mass flow of the powdery substance ⁇ P , a duration of the dosing pulse ⁇ t1 and a time interval between adjacent dosing pulses ⁇ t2.
- a significant technical control feature is that a time-dependent current consumption I (t) is determined, which is proportional to the stirring and / or shearing and homogenizing power required for a temporarily present mixed product.
- I (t) is determined, which is proportional to the stirring and / or shearing and homogenizing power required for a temporarily present mixed product.
- the latter always occurs approximately in the form of a Gaussian normal distribution when a defined amount of powdery substance m P is introduced into the mixing process or the mixing container and treated in pulses.
- the time-dependent current consumption I (t) subsides, to a reference current consumption I o , which is characteristic of the completely homogenized mixed product performing stirring and / or shearing and homogenizing performance.
- the relevant reference current consumption I o is stored in the default data and can be used from there, and it depends on the recipe of the mixed product and the reaction conditions for the mixing process.
- the core of the control measure according to the invention is that the duration of the dosing pulse ⁇ t1 and the time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2 are selected in such a way that at the end of the time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2, the time-dependent current consumption I (t) for stirring and / or shearing is determined and homogenizing the temporarily present mixed product approximates the reference current consumption I o , which is required for the relevant treatment of the homogenized mixed product, within the scope of a practically relevant permissible tolerance.
- the invention is based on a known method for controlling the introduction of a powdery substance into a liquid consisting of at least one component for an inline mixing method, which is also classified as a multi-pass method or multi-stage process.
- the multi-pass process is typically used for mixed products that ultimately have a higher dry matter concentration and / or a higher viscosity, for example when larger amounts of powdery substance have to be emulsified, for example with oil, gum or aromas, because these mixed products with the single pass procieedings cannot be represented.
- the introduction and treatment of the pulverulent substance, from a reaction kinetic point of view takes place again, as in the first method, under the conditions of a residence time behavior of a continuously operating homogeneous reaction vessel.
- the second method is characterized in a manner known per se in such a way that in a first phase liquid is placed in a mixing container and the powdery substance is fed discontinuously to this liquid, with a dry substance concentration being reached at the end of the first phase that is below one for the The end value specified at the end of the entire mixing process is.
- the liquid and the powdery substance are continuously stirred and / or mixed into a mixed product in the first phase and the mixed product is homogenized.
- the mixed product obtained in the first phase is recirculated via the mixing container and quantities of pulverulent material corresponding to the recirculated amount of mixed product are also added discontinuously.
- the quantity balance is accordingly designed in the second phase at a constant fill level according to the continuity condition in such a way that the mass flow of mixed product discharged from the mixing process corresponds to the mass flow of mixed product routed via the recirculation plus the dosed mass flow of powdery substance.
- the mixed product is recirculated until a time-dependent course of a dry matter concentration of the powdery substance in the mixed product has grown to a predetermined end value.
- a recipe for the mixed product is given, at least with regard to the time-dependent curve of a dry matter concentration associated with the given end value, and the reaction conditions are given in the form of default data.
- the inventive solution concept consists in the second method that the discontinuous supply of the pulverulent substance in a manner known per se takes place in pulses by a chronological sequence of metering pulses.
- the reaction conditions provide, in a preferred embodiment and in line with the first method, that the powdery substance is sucked in by a negative pressure (vacuum) in the head space of the mixing container compared to atmospheric pressure.
- the metering pulses are each characterized by a mass flow of the powdery substance ⁇ P , a duration of the metering pulse ⁇ t1 and a time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2.
- a significant technical control feature is that a time-dependent current consumption I (t) is determined, which is proportional to the stirring and / or shearing and homogenizing power required for a temporarily present mixed product.
- I (t) is determined, which is proportional to the stirring and / or shearing and homogenizing power required for a temporarily present mixed product.
- the latter always occurs in the form of an approximately Gaussian normal distribution when a defined amount of powder Substance is introduced and treated in pulses in the mixing process or the mixing container.
- the time-dependent current consumption I (t) subsides, namely on a time-dependent course a reference current consumption I o (t), which is characteristic of the stirring and / or shearing and homogenizing power to be provided on the homogenized mixed product under the conditions of the assigned time-dependent curve of a dry matter concentration c (t).
- the related course of a reference current consumption I o (t) is stored in the specification data and can be drawn from there, and it depends on the recipe of the mixed product and the reaction conditions for the mixing process.
- the duration of the dosing pulse ⁇ t1 for the subsequent dosing pulse is shortened in the first case and lengthened in the second case.
- This technical control measure with a variable duration-time interval ratio V requires the control to be able to shorten or lengthen the duration of the metering pulse ⁇ t1 with an unchanging time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2 or to adequately lengthen the time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2 with the same duration of the metering pulse ⁇ t1 or shorten it.
- the control-technical measure according to the invention therefore essentially consists in both embodiments of the second method in that the duration of the metering pulse ⁇ t1 and the time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2 are selected in such a way that at the respective end of the time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2 the time-dependent determined current consumption I (t) for stirring and / or shearing and homogenizing the temporarily present mixed product approximates the time-dependent course of a reference current consumption I o (t), which is required for the relevant treatment of the homogenized mixed product, within the scope of a practically relevant permissible tolerance.
- the second method which is primarily suitable for increasing the dry matter concentration to a predetermined final value, provides that the recirculated mixed product is divided into a first portion and a second portion, that the first portion is fed directly to the mixing process and that the complementary second portion is guided over a storage volume and then also fed to the mixing process.
- This division offers the possibility, as is proposed, of setting the first portion recirculated directly via the mixing process between zero and one hundred percent of the recirculated mixed product.
- Such a configuration and mode of operation offers the possibility of concentrating smaller amounts of the desired mixed product exclusively in the mixing container with the maximum possible first proportion (100%).
- the mass flow of the pulverulent substance is constant over the duration of the metering pulse. This is ensured in particular by the fact that a controllable opening for the supply of the powdery substance only assumes either a fully open position or a closed position.

- Time-dependent current consumption I (t) plotted over the corresponding period t is determined or measured.

- this typical behavior is used for control purposes in that a reference current consumption I o is used from the specification data D, which is characteristic of the stirring and / or shearing and homogenizing power to be provided on the homogenized mixed product M.
- the tolerance consists of a specification of a permissible current exceedance ⁇ I1 and a permissible current undercurrent ⁇ I2 ( Figure 3 ).
- the shortening or lengthening of the duration of the dosing pulse ⁇ t1 occurs when a current corridor determined by the permissible current exceedance ⁇ I1 or the permissible current undercurrent ⁇ I2 due to the time-dependent current consumption I * (t), I ** (t) deviating upwards or downwards. is left.

- the amount of shortening or lengthening of the duration of the metering pulse ⁇ t1 is preferably determined as a function of the amount of deviation of the time-dependent current consumption I (t) from the assigned reference current consumption I o .
- the permissible current excess ⁇ I1 and permissible current shortfall ⁇ I2 ultimately determined by the respective formulation of the mixed product M can be part of the specification data D for the mixing process.
- recipe-dependent control parameters S namely the duration of the dosing pulse ⁇ t1 and the time interval between adjacent dosing pulses ⁇ t2, are stored and used for subsequent controls of the same recipes.
- the control device 30 of the mixing device 100 is set up according to the invention so that it can provide the recipe-dependent default data D and the recipe-dependent control parameters S in the form of the duration of the metering pulse ⁇ t1 and the time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2.

- the liquid F and the powdery substance P are continuously stirred by means of the stirring device 24 and / or mixed by means of the shearing and homogenizing device 26 to form the mixed product M and the mixed product M is homogenized.

- the amount of mixed product M discharged into the recirculation can be divided into a first portion a and a second portion b ((a + b) M).

- the mixed product M is recirculated until a time-dependent course of a dry matter concentration c (t) of the powdery substance P in the mixed product M has grown to the predetermined end value c E.
- a formulation of the mixed product M is given, at least with regard to the time-dependent curve of a dry matter concentration c (t) assigned to the given end value c E , and the reaction conditions are given in the form of the default data D in each case.
- the inventive solution concept corresponds in essential features to that according to the first method.
- the multi-stage process in the second phase of the second method results in the time-dependent course of a dry matter concentration c (t), which ends as planned in the specified end value c E , with between the course of a dry matter concentration c (t) without saturation character ( approximately linear time-dependent course; see Figure 5 ) or with saturation character (degressive time-dependent course; see Figure 6 ) is to be distinguished.
- the time-dependent course of a dry matter concentration c (t) ending in the predetermined end value c E is defined by the sequence of specific metering pulses i, ie clearly defined by the duration of the metering pulse ⁇ t1 and the time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2.
- the related course of a reference current consumption I o (t) is stored in the specification data D, and it is dependent on the recipe of the mixed product M and the reaction conditions for the mixing process.
- the duration of the dosing pulse ⁇ t1 for the subsequent dosing pulse is shortened in the first case and lengthened in the second case.
- the duration of the metering pulse ⁇ t1 is shortened according to the invention with a constant duration-time interval ratio V (as shown in FIG Figure 4 in contrast to Figure 3 is shown qualitatively as an example) or extended.
- This technical control measure with a fixed time duration / time interval ratio V inevitably leads in the same ratio to a corresponding shortening or lengthening of the time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2, based on the subsequent metering pulse i.
- the mass flow of powdery substance ⁇ P is introduced into an existing almost unchangeable volume of the mixed product V M (V M ⁇ constant) in the time period t of the entire mixing process with an almost unchangeable fill level N in the mixing container 100, with a density ⁇ M of the mixed product M increasing, namely according to the time-dependent course of a dry matter concentration c (t), which grows to the predetermined end value c E.
- a related course describes a successful mixing process, which on the one hand protects the mixed product M and on the other hand is designed to be energy-efficient. It does not require any control measures in the sense explained above. Only when deviations from the permissible current excess or current shortfall ⁇ I1, ⁇ I2 occur, do the control mechanisms, as used in the first method in connection with the Figures 3 and 4 have been described.
- control measures with a variable duration-time interval ratio V require the control device 30 to be able to shorten or lengthen the duration of the metering pulse ⁇ t1 with an unchanging time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2 or to adequately adjust the time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2 with the same duration of the metering pulse ⁇ t1 lengthen or shorten.
- control measures according to the invention therefore essentially consist in both embodiments of the second method in that the duration of the metering pulse ⁇ t1 and the time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2 are selected in such a way that at the end of the time interval between adjacent metering pulses ⁇ t2 the time-dependent determined current consumption I (t) for stirring and / or mixing and homogenizing the temporarily present mixed product M * approximates the time-dependent course of a reference current consumption I o (t), which is required for the relevant treatment of the homogenized mixed product M, within the scope of a practically relevant permissible tolerance.
