Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and an arrangement for processing flowable media.
  • a pipe For the transport of the medium, a pipe is provided.
  • the device comprises a tool driven by a tool shaft.
  • the arrangement can be brought into a working state and into an idle state. In the working state, a tool is arranged inside the tube and connected to a tool shaft.
  • Processing of flowable media takes place, for example, in the production of cleaning agents, mayonnaises, fruit juices and the like.
  • the tool is directly connected to a storage container in which the medium to be processed is contained. From the reservoir escaping medium is processed with the tool.
  • in-line devices which are designed to process a medium while it is transported through a pipe. In operation, the in-line devices are connected to the pipe and integrated into the barrel of the pipe. At rest, the in-line devices are separated from the tube, the medium is transported freely through the tube.
  • the known in-line devices have the disadvantage that the separation and connection of device and tube is expensive.
  • the invention is based on the object to present a device and an arrangement of the type mentioned, which can be integrated with little effort in a pipe system and are versatile.
  • the object is solved by the features of the independent claims.
  • Advantageous embodiments can be found in the subclaims.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the tube has a first and a second opening, which are arranged coaxially with each other in the outer wall of the tube.
  • the tool shaft extends through the first opening.
  • processing is used as a generic term for homogenizing, mixing, dispersing and comparable processes.
  • the tube defines a flow path and a flow direction for the medium.
  • the flow path does not have to be rectilinear; instead, the flow path can be deflected once or several times. It is not necessary that the pipe diameter be constant along the flow path.
  • the openings in the outer wall of the tube are sealed while the medium is being transported, they are not intended for the passage of the medium.
  • the openings are arranged in the outer wall of the tube so that the medium transported in the tube flows between the openings.
  • the position of the first and the second opening to each other is not linked to the flow direction of the medium.
  • the first opening may also be arranged in the flow direction behind the second opening.
  • one end of the tool shaft is located outside the tube and one end of the tool shaft is disposed within the tube.
  • the first opening surrounds the tool shaft in a region arranged between the two ends.
  • the tool is connected to the end of the tool shaft located inside the pipe, the tool operates inside the pipe.
  • the device according to the invention has the advantage that the tool can be integrated into an existing pipe system. An elaborate adaptation of the tube to the tool is eliminated. About the second, coaxially aligned with the first opening opening another working fluid can be introduced into the pipe. By a suitable combination of the second working means with the tool, a more versatile use of the device is made possible.
  • the tool may be inserted into the tube through the first opening together with the end of the tool shaft. This assumes that the diameter of the tool is smaller than the diameter of the opening. However, for effective processing of the medium, it is often useful if the diameter of the tool is greater than the diameter of the first opening.
  • the tube may have a separating point arranged between the first and the second opening. At the point of separation may be a flange connection between two pipe parts. To the Closing the flange connection can be provided a clamping ring, a screw connection or a comparable fastening means.
  • the tool When editing flowable media, the tool usually interacts with a counter tool.
  • the tool and the counter tool can be, for example, the rotor and the stator of a homogenizer or the rotor and the stator of a mixer.
  • the counter tool can be connected to the pipe via the second opening.
  • the counter tool may for example be equipped with a flange which is connectable to a flange of the opening.
  • the coaxial alignment between the first and second openings allows for proper positioning of the counter tool relative to the tool.
  • the counter tool can also be connected to the pipe via the separation point.
  • the separation point is also arranged coaxially with the first and the second opening for this purpose.
  • the counter tool can be firmly connected to the pipe. However, it is also possible that the counter tool is driven by a counter-tool shaft, which preferably extends through the second opening. Just like the tool, the counter tool then works inside the pipe. For gentle machining of the medium, the tool and the counter tool can be operated in the same direction. A particularly intensive processing of the medium is achieved when the tool and the counter tool are operated in opposite directions. Preferably, the direction of rotation and the rotational speed of the tool shaft and the counter-tool shaft can be varied independently of each other.
  • a mechanical seal For sealing the counter-tool shaft as well as for sealing the tool shaft, a mechanical seal can be provided.
  • the mechanical seal can be designed with or without barrier fluid.
  • the medium transported in the pipe is responsible for cooling and lubricating.
  • a supply line can be provided as cooperating with the tool work equipment. Through the supply line the transported through the tube medium, another substance can be added. In order to control the inflow of the further substance, the supply line can be equipped with a valve.
  • the supply line is suitably connected via the second opening with the tube and thereby aligned coaxially with the tool.
  • connection to the second opening can be made as well as the connection to the first opening via a clamping ring, via a screw connection or via a comparable fastening means.
  • the medium transported in the pipe is brought to the tool, passes the tool and is guided away from the tool.
  • the adjacent to the first or second opening part of the tube through which the medium is brought to the tool is referred to as the inflow portion of the tube.
  • the part of the tube adjacent to the first or second opening, through which the medium is led away from the tool is referred to as the outflow section of the tube.
  • the inflow section and the outflow section are arranged in planes parallel to the openings, wherein the distance between the central plane of the inflow section and the central plane of the outflow section is preferably between 3 cm and 20 cm, more preferably between 4 cm and 10 cm.
  • a certain length of the inflow section or the outflow section is not required. For example, after a very short pipe section, a reservoir of the medium to be processed may join.
  • the first and the second openings are arranged only slightly outside the central planes of the inflow section and the outflow section.
  • the distance between the central plane of the inflow section or outflow section and the plane of the first and the second opening is between 1 cm and 10 cm, more preferably between 2 cm and 4 cm.
  • the nominal diameter of the tube is preferably between 1.5 cm and 15 cm, more preferably between 3 cm and 5 cm.
  • the flanges of the interconnected pipe parts can be designed such that a rotation of the flanges relative to each other possible is. Together with the pipe parts, the inflow section and the outflow section are also rotated relative to one another. The orientation of the inflow section and the outflow section relative to each other can therefore be changed via the flange connection at the separation point.
  • the arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that the tube has a first opening in the outer wall, that the tool shaft extends in the working state through the first opening and that the first opening is closed at rest with a lid. At rest, a pipe section is created, which can pass freely through the medium transported in the pipe.
  • a second opening in the outer wall of the pipe is not mandatory.
  • a counter tool possibly interacting with the tool can be introduced into the pipe via the first opening or via a separation point.
  • the arrangement according to the invention offers the possibility of integrating machining tools into an existing pipe system without much effort.
  • the editing tools can be interchanged. If no processing, the opening can be closed with the lid and it creates a freely continuous pipe section.
