Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wet classifier of substances containing solid particles.
  • the solid (powder) becomes a liquid (usually water) mixed in a premix tank, to get a suspension.
  • the suspension will, if required in a subsequent dilution tank diluted and then into the centrifuge Wet classifier introduced.
  • Inside the rotating one Centrifugal drums become the heavier and coarser ones Particles faster than the lighter and finer ones Suspension guided radially outwards against the drum wall, where they settle as sediment.
  • the sediment is in Cleaning phases of the wet classifier from the drum wall solved, whereby, depending on the embodiment, Cleaning fluids, mechanical cleaning equipment, such as knives, etc.
  • the classified suspension is used during the classification process continuously withdrawn from the wet classifier and passed on for further use.
  • Such a wet classification system therefore requires a premix tank (Dispersing unit) for producing the to be classified Suspension, the actual classification unit (Centrifuge) and a storage container to hold the classified suspension, these parts over corresponding Inlets and outlets are interconnected.
  • a premix tank Disposing unit
  • the actual classification unit Chiptrifuge
  • a storage container to hold the classified suspension
  • the present invention has for its object a To create a system for wet classification of the specified type, which is characterized by a particularly compact structure.
  • the system designed according to the invention is characterized by this from that it is particularly compact, i.e. includes very few parts. This is because the Classifying unit (centrifuge) at the same time as a dispersing unit is used. A separate dispersion unit (Premixing container) as in the prior art is eliminated Consequently. A batch container serves both to hold the Liquid to disperse as well as to absorb the suspension to be classified, prepared by dispersion. The classified suspension is from the dispersing and Classifying unit in a storage container for further Use led.
  • the system works in such a way that initially with the loading unit the substance containing solid particles, especially powdery substance, and from the batch container the dispersing liquid into the dispersing and Classification unit will be introduced.
  • the dispersing device In this dispersion phase the dispersing device is in operation.
  • the classification phase takes place, in which the Centrifugal drum is running with the increased classification speed.
  • the coarse fraction or coarse glomerate collects here in the solids traps of the centrifugal drum, and the finished, i.e. classified suspension leaves the drum ready for use and is in the storage container for that classified suspension introduced and stored there.
  • the dispersing and classifying unit In the subsequent cleaning phase of the dispersing and classifying unit, which begins, for example, when 50% by volume of the Solid trapping spaces are filled with coarse glomerates a redispersion, according to which the sediment from the Catch spaces dissolved and redispersed in liquid is usually added as a cleaning liquid becomes.
  • the sediment is preferably loosened about the intended dispersing device, which in the Cleaning phase as a mechanical detachment device for the Sediment cake, for example in the form of Dispersing knives, works. In this cleaning phase it will be like this worked long until the solids traps were cleaned are and the dispersing knife near the drum wall stand.
  • the dissolved sediment (redispersed suspension) leaves the dispersing and classifying unit as pumpable suspension and can according to the corresponding Processing (grinding the coarse fraction) back into the system be introduced.
  • the feed and discharge system preferably allows between Mixing container and dispersing and classifying unit one Management of the dispersing liquid and the to be classified Suspension in circulation.
  • This embodiment enables that in the dispersion phase during the loading of the dispersing and classifying device with the powdered Substance the dispersing liquid between the batch container and dispersing and classifying unit in a circuit is and also after the loading of the powdered Substance a change over a period of time is carried out.
  • a desired suspension slurry
  • Suitable pumping devices are for circulation intended.
  • the desired degree of classification expediently one in the discharge system for the classified Monitoring filter switched on.
  • the one working as a centrifugal pump during classification The dispersing and classification unit promotes the classified suspension under pressure through the monitoring filter, the classified and filtered suspension stored in the storage tank becomes.
  • the stored suspension is in the storage tank itself expediently with the aid of a stirring device kept moving.
  • the sediment cake is in the cleaning phase (separated coarse fraction) from the solid traps solved and by cleaning liquid supply converted back into a pumpable suspension, which in a suitable storage tank is collected.
  • the attachment preferably has a grinding unit for the separated Coarse fraction into which the redispersed sediment is introduced becomes.
  • the grinding unit can be used as a separate grinding unit or as integrated in the dispersing and classifying unit Be ground milling unit. It can be, for example to be a ball mill. In it the separated coarse fraction to the desired fineness ground. The fine suspension produced in this way can again Batch container fed and again at the next new batch be used.
  • the feed unit expediently has a means Big bag operated by a hoist.
  • This big bag takes the pulverulent material to be classified. He will when loading into the emptying position using a hoist brought, deposited and connected to a dosing device. The dosing device is then started, so that the big bag is emptied fully automatically and the powdery substance, for example fine powder Titanium dioxide, continuously fed to the process.
  • the powdery substance for example fine powder Titanium dioxide
  • the system has a test unit for the quality of the to be classified and / or classified suspension.
  • This has the advantage of being direct it can be checked within the plant whether the suspension has the appropriate quality. To do this no laborious laboratory measurements are carried out. So can, for example, with the help of the test unit, as long as the suspension produced by dispersing or else the classified suspension is circulated, randomly examined whether the suspensions correspond to the corresponding Possess quality grade. For example, at A coarse filter test can be performed while dispersing a fine filter test for the classified suspension can be carried out.
  • the system can also be an intermediate container ter for storing the classified suspension in front of the storage tank exhibit.
  • the system according to the invention designed so that both dispersed and classified can be.
  • the one in the dispersing and classifying unit provided dispersing device is preferably so trained that they simultaneously as a mechanical cleaning device be used in the cleaning phase can.
  • this does not preclude both devices be separated from each other and, for example, in the respective Phase entered the unit and after completion during this phase can be moved out of the unit can.
  • the invention does not exclude that the one described here System used exclusively for classifying is, a corresponding to already in the batch container classifying suspension is present or is generated there.
  • the dispersing and classifying unit works as a pure classifying centrifuge, and the dispersing device works as a purely mechanical cleaning device.
  • the purpose of the system is, however, the dispersing process and the classification process in one compact Unit to perform the number of components required to reduce and a particularly compact design to enable unity.
  • additional facilities within the common Housing can be housed, for example Storage tank for the suspension containing the coarse fraction, the drive for the dispersing and classifying unit, the Dosing device etc.
