  • the drive magnets in the hollow space of the magnetic coupling insertable can be arranged substantially in one plane with the Rlickwerksmagneten.
  • Such a modular agitator is used for example in the food industry, especially in the field of fruit distribution.
  • Fruit blends are usually high-viscosity liquids containing fruit pieces. These are usually filled at a filling location in stainless steel containers, which after filling for further use to the next
  • Production location to be transported.
  • the containers are stored as far as possible space until filling or until further processing of the content at the filling site or at the production site.
  • the containers are cleaned, aseptically reprocessed and then available for refilling. Again, a possible space-saving storage of cleaned or uncleaned container is necessary.
  • pieces of fruit settle on the bottom of the container, whereby the mixture is inhomogeneous. It is therefore necessary to re-homogenize the mixture in the container without further opening before further processing, since the
  • EP 1 748 201 B1 discloses a magnetic stirrer which has a magnetic coupling between the drive and agitator, whereby the mechanical seal can be omitted, and the risk of contamination of the product by the seal is eliminated.
  • the drive system is attached to the container by means of a number of screws in EP 1 748 201 B1.
  • the present object is achieved in that the magnetic coupling has a quick release, which when closing the magnetic coupling the
  • the agitator is integrated in the container lid, which on different
  • the container is independent of the drive.
  • This provides the advantage that a drive for a variety of containers can be used. Consequently, the number of necessary drives for a certain number of containers is reduced, whereby the drives can remain at the respective production site. Furthermore, in case of failure of a drive this can be easily replaced, reducing downtime in the
  • Production process can be reduced. It is particularly advantageous that this also increases the life of the container. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the purchase cost of the container can be reduced by the independent of the respective container drive by such a construction.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that by simply disassembling the drive from the containers a stacking of the container is made possible, whereby a space-saving storage can be ensured.
  • Figure 1 shows a section through the magnetic coupling of a modular agitator according to the invention in a front view.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section through a modular agitator according to the invention in FIG

In the closed state of the magnetic coupling 1, the torque of the drive 3 by the magnetic Attraction of the drive magnets 6 and the agitator unit magnets 7 transmitted from the drive 3 to the agitator unit 4.
  • the cavity 5 is closed by means of the quick release 8.
  • Agitator unit 4 connected and also can be removed from this again.
  • the use of a magnetic coupling 1 is advantageous because it makes no additional seals necessary, which represent a potential source of danger for the sterility of the container contents.
  • the quick-release fastener 8 can be one of various quick-release fasteners, wherein preferably a bayonet closure, a union nut, a milk tube closure or a TC closure is used.
  • the magnetic coupling 1 shown in Figure 1 has a parting plane 9 in which the magnetic coupling 1 can be separated. In this a number of pins 10 is arranged, which engage in corresponding recesses of the opposite magnetic coupling part when closing the magnetic coupling 1.
  • the magnetic coupling 1 is additionally stiffened by the pins 10 against any possible loads such as vibrations or transverse loads.
  • the modular agitator 2 shown in Figure 2 in a sectional view in the frontal plane is, as shown in Figure 4, preferably part of a container 11, wherein this is composed of a container lid 12 and a container body 13.

  • the advantage is achieved that the modular agitator 2 can be integrated by the combination of uniform container lid 12 with container bodies 13 of different capacity in containers 11 of different sizes.
  • Figure 3 shows a sectional view in the frontal plane of a modular agitator 2, in a preferred embodiment, wherein the drive 3 has been removed by separation of the magnetic coupling 1.
  • the modular agitator 2 is enclosed by the container lid 12 which, like the agitator unit 4, is shown only in sections.

  • a closure 14 on the magnetic coupling 1 in the separated state of the magnetic coupling 1
  • the closure 14 may be one of various closures, preferably using a bayonet closure, a union nut, a milk tube closure or a TC closure.
  • closures are particularly advantageous because they are available in large numbers on the market and do not require a complex, special tool to be opened or closed. This additionally facilitates handling.
  • Figure 4 shows two containers 11 with a modular agitator 2 according to the invention with separate magnetic coupling 1 and closure 14 in a frontal view, which are stacked on one another.
  • the lower of the two containers 11 is shown in a cutaway view for illustrating the integrated therein modular agitator 2.
  • the modular agitator 2 disclosed herein can be used in all areas in addition to the food industry in which it is advantageous that the container contents remain germ-free or no additional seals for the agitator 2 are used. These include, for example, the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Further fields of application emerge for the person skilled in the art from this exemplary reference.
