Inline Homogeniser - High Shear Agitation System , Versatile Mixing For Liquids And Solids

Inline Homogeniser

Inline Homogeniser Specification:



In
Inline agitation system, the possibility of materials - Liquid or Solid
passing through it, without subjected to intense hydraulic and
mechanical shear actions is zero. Here suction pipe (inlet pipe) is
centrally mounted & outlet is radially mounted, therefore it is
physically impossible for any material to pass from inlet to outlet
without exposed to agitation.


The stator which
surrounds rotor is available with various type of opening i.e. round,
square, rectangular & with perforation also so that all the
critical demand of Mixing, Emulsifying, Disintegration & Dispersion
of solids, suspension can be met out by same equipment.


The
machine is versatile & has completely revolutionized the
traditional mixing techniques. Here close tolerance of rotor with the
stator produces high hydraulic shearing & mechanical action that
ensures that material entrapped between rotor & stator is subjected
to tremendous shearing actions each minute.
Fluid Mixing Mechanisms:
In terms of mechanical mixing mechanisms, a number of actions are
employed by different types of mixers to create different effects for
particular process results. For distributive action, swirl created by
rotating parts causes laminar thinning of the material interfaces,
thereby increasing volumetric combination of the materials. A repeated
cutting and folding action of the mixture also increases the
distribution of different material components. The effectiveness and
efficiency of a mixer in distributive mixing is therefore a function of
how the machine interacts with the fluid in a geometric sense.

Conversely,
the effectiveness and efficiency of a mixer in dispersive mixing is a
function of how the machine interacts with the fluid in a stressing
sense. For most materials, the higher the stress, the smaller the
resulting particles or droplets in the mixture. However, another very
important consideration is the uniformity of the stress field. Without
a reasonable uniformity, it is impossible to guarantee that the same
stress is applied to all parts of the fluid. This would result in a
wide range of final droplet or particle sizes rather than a narrow
range obtained with uniform stressing. One or more of the three primary
stressing mechanisms are used in most fluid mixers.These mechanisms are:
ShearExtensionImpact
Inline Mixers:
Usually
called "high-shear mixers", are the most common form of
Dispersing/Homogenising/ Emulsifying mixer. By placing a form of
closely-fitting shroud around a high speed impeller, it is possible to
create a shearing action between the blades and stator shroud. As
material is centrifugally pumped through the mixing head, some of it
will see this high shear zone and experience shear stressing that
results in dispersive mixing. Where small or uniform dispersions are
required, material must be cycled through the head many times to ensure
statistically that all of the material has passed through the high
shear zone at leastonce.Pumping Actions:
Because of indigenous design & rotor operating at very high speed
in close clearance with stator draws the material in & imparts
mechanical & shearing actions. Inline Homogenizer facilitates high
volume, non positive action which is sufficient to transfer the
material without any supplementary pumps but in some cases because of
high viscosity, vertical lift or length of pipe line , the flow rate
may come down below the anticipated value, In that case it is
supplemented by an auxiliary pump installed in the system which pumps
the liquid without reducing the homogenising/emulsifying efficiency of
the system.End Connection:
The
inlet & outlet are normally fitted with. DIN, Tri Clover/ Sanitary
Screw fittings but other Modes of fittings can be provided on request.
Sealing:
Single mechanical seal with Carbon, silicon carbonized phase
combination is provided. Special single or double sealing is also
available for conditions & process which demand it eg. Latex ,
Abrasive solids.Application Of Inline Homogeniser/Emulsifier
Inline emulsifier is successfully used for the following processes:Recirculatory Processing:
There
are certain processes which demand higher degree of homogenization,
dispersion, communication & but to attain that level, single passage
of material through Inline is not sufficient to reach that degree, in
that situation, it is more useful to pass the product several times
through the same machine by means of recirculation. The above process
is normally adopted in producing emulsion of Oil & Water. Oil,
which is lighter than water is charged in the holding vessel &
water is added into the pipe line between vessel outlet valve &
Inlet of Inline Emulsifier. This mix is immediately sucked into the
head of emulsifier & there mixing/ emulsification/ homogenization
takes place. This mix is then sent into the vessel. This process is
repeated till achievement of perfect emulsion. Where viscosity is very
high or vessel size is large, it is recommended to go for Batch type
mixer along with Inline Mixer.Premix Process:

In
this process, all ingredient are mixed in a holding vessel with some
agitator & a single passage through the inline smoothens the lumps
and homogenize a suspension or emulsion. Inline Mixer is currently in
use in the industry listed below & this gives a new horizon for
this exceptional machine to validate its results.
