Definitions

  • the invention relates to a homogenizer for the production of flowable products, for example. Emulsions, suspensions or similar products, with a rotor blades having and drivable by a motor rotor and a flow elements having rotatable stator.
  • Such homogenizers are conventionally mounted under containers to mix and homogenize the contents of the container.
  • Such a homogenizer has in addition to the rotor drivable by a motor and a circular annular stator whose flow elements are arranged at least partially between two - each arranged along concentric circular lines - groups of rotor blades.
  • the product flows from inside to outside, similar to a centrifugal pump. It occurs through openings provided between the flow elements of the stator. In such a passage, the product is subjected to shearing forces and turbulence. This leads to a good mixing of the product and thus to a homogeneous end product.
  • a large number of flowable products such as e.g. Emulsions and suspensions.
  • the homogenizer can also be used as a cleaning pump.
  • cleaning it is mainly on a high throughput of the washing liquid. Therefore, a reduction of the throughput, due to the flow resistance of the stator, is disadvantageous even in such a cleaning process.
  • additional conveying elements in the form of pumping blades are mounted behind the stator. It is conventionally also provided a special tooth geometry in which, depending on the direction of rotation of the rotor, a larger passage cross-section for the medium flowing through the stator can be realized as in the opposite direction of rotation. In this opposite direction of rotation - due to the geometry - the passage of the product considerably more difficult.
  • a disadvantage of such known homogenizers is that a promotion of the product without shearing is not possible. This can cause unwanted effects, especially in the case of sensitive products, in which, for example, the acting shear forces cause changes in the structure of the product.
  • a further homogenizer in which the homogenization effect can be influenced and the shearing action and the pumping action should be adaptable to the respective requirements.
  • the stator of this homogenizer is also a rotatable element, and therefore rotatable Stator formed.
  • the rotatable stator is driven independently of the rotor.
  • two drive motors are necessary.
  • such drive motors are complicated and expensive.
  • two drive motors require essentially twice the maintenance.
  • the probability of failure of the homogenizer and thus the probability of a plant shutdown doubles.
  • two drive motors also lead to an increased space requirement, which often leads under a container to a very narrow and therefore only consuming to maintain and to be cleaned construction.
  • the invention is therefore based on the problem of providing a simplified homogenizer which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages of known homogenizers.
  • the invention solves this problem by means of a homogenizer of the type mentioned, which further comprises a coupling device for selectively coupling or decoupling the stator with and from the rotor, wherein in a coupled state, the stator is driven by the rotor.
  • stator is not to be understood as meaning that the stator is permanently fixed. Rather, the stator can be operated in a fixed or in a rotating mode. That the stator is - as well as the rotor - rotatable.
  • the coupling device couples the stator to the rotor.
  • the coupling device advantageously creates a mechanical connection between a drive shaft of the rotor and the stator, so that the stator is carried along by the rotor and driven with it.
  • the stator is fixed in a decoupled state of the rotor and stator.
  • the stator is therefore designed lockable by means of a locking device.

  • the clutch is designed to be automatically switching or externally switched.
  • An automatically switching clutch can automatically establish the coupled state in the presence of certain operating conditions.
  • an externally connected clutch couples or decouples rotor and stator as a function of an external switching request. This switching request can be supplied to the homogenizer either by an operator or by a control device.
  • the clutch has dogs and cams. This means that a particularly simple coupling between the rotor and stator can be achieved.
  • the coupling device is designed such that in a first direction of rotation of the rotor, the rotor is coupled to the stator such that the rotor entrains the stator, and that in a second, opposite to the first direction of rotation of the rotor and the stator are decoupled from each other.

  • the rotor and the stator are decoupled from each other in the second direction of rotation. In particular, the stator is then arrested or locked.
  • the homogenizer In the decoupled state, the homogenizer can be operated in its original mode of operation in which shearing effects on the product are exerted on the product by a differential speed between fixed stator and rotating rotor. In the opposite direction of rotation of the rotor, however, the stator is taken from the coupled rotor and rotated. The mechanical coupling device thereby causes the speed of the stator is in a fixed unchangeable relationship to the speed of the rotor, for example. Rotate the rotor and stator in the same direction at the same speed, so that no shear forces are exerted on the product.
  • the original mode of operation of the fixed stator and rotary rotor homogenizer may be in the opposite direction of rotation, i. be performed in the second direction of rotation to introduce shear energy and turbulence in the product.

  • An overrunning clutch is particularly suitable easy way to rotate the stator with the rotor.
  • the principle of such overrunning clutches is used, for example, in bicycles. By reversing the direction of rotation, either the stator is taken away or decoupled from the rotor. In the case of coupling or entrainment of the stator by the rotor, the stator and rotor rotate at the same speed.
