Definitions

  • the invention relates to a solid bowl screw centrifuge for processing a centrifuged material that tends to foam.
  • DE-A-36 38 782, US-A-35 68 919 and US-A-43 34 647 are solid bowl screw centrifuges known, which have the features a) to c) of the claim 1 show.
  • US-A-53 06 225 also shows liquid overflow openings in the baffle plates a solid bowl screw centrifuge.
  • a known decanter is also shown in FIG. 2.
  • processing centrifugal material which in addition to one solid phase and one liquid phase in the decanter tends to be third Phase of forming a foam - e.g. a fruit spread for the production of fruit juice or a high-protein centrifuge - there is the problem that the Foam undesirably escapes from the decanter through the liquid outlet and thus the quality of the liquid phase is impaired.
  • the hydrohermetic inlet prevents oxidation.
  • the arrangement of the invention meets the highest hygiene requirements with regard to the centrifugal material feed as well as with regard to the foam barrier in the direction of the liquid discharge.
  • baffle plate Since at least one baffle plate protrudes into the liquid level, it forms one Barrier for foam generated during the centrifugal process the corresponding discharge.
  • the one between the distributor and the solids discharge is preferably arranged Dimension baffle plate such that between the drum shell and the baffle plate relatively narrow gap remains, which is designed such that through it a slimy Solid phase can pass, the reflux through the gap through the pressing slimy solid phase is prevented.
  • the feed pipe is preferably via the distributor firmly connected to the screw, so that the inlet pipe when the Snail turns with this.
  • the distributor firmly connected to the screw, so that the inlet pipe when the Snail turns with this.
  • the inlet pipe is rotatable is designed, it is also possible to distribute and feed pipe directly "one-piece” to connect with each other directly without gaps and openings, so that no foam more in any gaps or spaces between the inlet pipe and the distributor can penetrate, which was the case with the prior art.
  • the hygiene effect is increased by the further measure, the distributor directly to be fixed in the circumferential openings of the screw body without gaps or openings. This creates a gap-free and opening-free path from the inlet pipe to the The decanter's centrifuge. It cannot Centrifugal material more in the area between the outer circumference of the inlet pipe and reach the inner circumference of the screw body, since this inlet section of the centrifuge "hydrohermetic" is designed closed.
  • the distributor is essentially tubular trained so that he at least one - preferably two - radial, in the Has centrifugal outlet openings. If the distributor also has one such a radial extension that he is in the operation of the centrifuge into the liquid or protrudes below the liquid level in the centrifugal chamber, so that its outlet openings are below the liquid level, the effect of the hermetic Completion of the inlet section of the centrifuge further improved. This measure too also contributes to a particularly gentle treatment of the product / centrifuge he follows.
  • At least one of the baffle plates is attached directly the distributor and / or the outer circumference of the screw body in the region of the distributor formed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a solid bowl screw centrifuge 2, which has a centrifugal drum 3 with an outer drum shell 4, which has a cylindrical section 6 and a conically tapering adjoining the cylindrical section 6 Section 8 includes.
  • a rotatable screw 12 is arranged for the discharge of solids.
  • the screw 12 has an inner, essentially cylindrical screw body 14, whose geometry is essentially the same as the geometry of the outer centrifuge drum shell 4 is adapted and again according to the contour of the drum shell 4 a cylindrical section 14a and one on the cylindrical Section subsequent conical section 14b includes.
  • This preferred here Geometry is to be understood purely as an example. Alternative geometries of the snail body 14 - e.g. purely cylindrical - are conceivable within the scope of the invention.
  • the screw body 14 of a distributor (pipe) 16 preferably rectangular in cross section, which passes through open at its two axial ends in the centrifugal space 18 between the Snail body 14 and the drum shell 4 opens and on the snail body is welded, so that a direct - quasi one-piece - gap and opening-free connection between the feed pipe 20 and the screw body 14 is realized.
  • the inlet pipe 20 is formed in the region of the central axis of the screw centrifuge.
  • the inlet pipe 20 is at one end facing away from the distributor 16 Ring 22 attached to the inner periphery of the screw body 14, which in turn with Rolling bearings 24 is rotatably mounted on a shoulder of the axial cover 26, which the drum casing 4 essentially closes axially.
  • On its cover 24 End facing away from the inlet pipe 20 passes through an opening in the manifold 16.
  • the rotatable inlet pipe 20 is thus arranged (e.g. welded) on the distributor 16, that a gap-free connection is realized between these elements and no centrifuge or foam gets into any gaps in this area can.
  • the inlet pipe 20 projects here from the right or from the cylindrical section the centrifuge into this.
  • a reverse arrangement of the inlet pipe 20 of the left or conical side of the drum 4 is conceivable.
  • a baffle plate arrangement is formed on the outer circumference of the screw body 14, which consists of two baffle plates 28, 30, one of which (the baffle plate 28) in the direction of the liquid discharge here in the cylindrical section 14a of the screw body 14 and the other (the baffle plate 30) to the side of the solids discharge placed here in the conical section 14b of the screw body is.
  • Both baffle plates 14 have such a radial extent that they in Operation of the screw centrifuge protrude into the liquid level F.
  • the baffle plate 28 attached to the cylindrical portion of the screw body 14 is as Washer formed without openings, while that on the conical section of the Snail body 14 attached baffle plate 30 openings to the inner circumference 32 - for example slit-like or with a different contour.
  • the radial extension this baffle plate 30 is larger than that of the baffle plate 28 in the cylindrical Area of the screw body 14. It is dimensioned such that between the drum shell 4 and the baffle plate 30 only a relatively narrow gap 31 remains.
  • a centrifugal product that tends to foam passes through the rotating inlet pipe 20 into the distributor 16 and through this into the centrifugal space 18. Since that Inlet pipe 20 is designed rotatable and at its end facing the distributor 16 is welded in an opening of the distributor 16 and since the distributor 16 is also on Screw body 14 is welded, no foam in any openings or slits penetrate and contaminate the decanter. It becomes a hermetic one Inlet section from the inlet pipe 20 through the distributor 16 into the centrifugal space 18 formed.
  • the exit of Foam through the liquid discharge 34 prevents the quality of the liquid phase further improved.
  • the foam can, however, toward the solid discharge 36 through the slot-like openings 32 in the baffle plate 30 out of the decanter escape.
  • the baffle plate 30 essentially serves to reflux one from the narrow gap 31 pushing slimy solid phase back through the gap 31 in to prevent the cylindrical portion 8 of the drum 4.
  • the openings 32 in this Baffle plate 30 allow the foam to exit in the direction of solids discharge, the in a closed design of this baffle plate 30 without the Openings 32 could not escape from the drum 4.
  • the liquid level is at the liquid discharge 34, at which the liquid is derived through a peeling tube 38, through the location of the inner circumference of another Baffle plate 40 determined. In the present case, the liquid level is almost sufficient up to the snail body 14.
  • Impairment of the quality of the liquid phase (e.g. apple juice) due to oxidation and / or foam is in this way without major design effort avoided when ensuring a particularly high standard of hygiene.
