Abstract
Abstract In a cyclone mixer for the continuous mixing of pulverulent substances with liquids, with a charging mechanism for the pulverulent substances and with a mixing chamber positioned below it and into whose upper region issues a tangential suction tube and which is provided in the lower region with a pump impeller and a dispersing apparatus surrounding the same and into whose lower region issues an outlet, it is provided according to the invention that the dispersing apparatus is constructed as a fixed lamellar ring, which is provided with uniformly circumferentially distributed baffle lamellas extending substantially radially outwards and whose inner portions immediately adjacent to the radial outer boundary of the impeller. In the case of an extremely simple construction, this apparatus ensures that despite the oppositely influencing parameters of high dispersion level and high throughput, a qualitatively and quantitatively very high efficiency is achieved.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A cyclone mixer for the continuous mixing of pulverulent substances with liquids, said cyclone mixer comprising: a mixing chamber, a tangential suction tube for liquids located in an upper region of said mixing chamber, a pump impeller located in a lower region of mixing chamber, a charging mechanism for introducing pulverulent substances above an eye of said pump impeller, a dispersing mechanism surrounding said pump impeller, a lower region of a centrifugal flow produced by said pump impeller being guided through said dispersing mechanism into a circular chamber and being removed from said circular chamber through an outlet arranged in said circular chamber, said dispersing mechanism being constructed as a lamellar ring surrounding said pump impeller and which includes baffle lamellas uniformly distributed over its circumference, said baffle lamellas extending substantially radially outward sand having inner end portions located immediately adjacent to a radial outer boundary of said pump impeller.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
A cyclone mixer for the continuous mixing of pulverulent substances with liquids, said cyclone mixer comprising: a mixing chamber, a tangential suction tube for liquids located in an upper region of said mixing chamber, a pump impeller located in a lower region of mixing chamber, a charging mechanism for introducing pulverulent substances above an eye of said pump impeller, a dispersing mechanism surrounding said pump impeller, a lower region of a centrifugal flow produced by said pump impeller being guided through said dispersing mechanism into a circular chamber and being removed from said circular chamber through an outlet arranged in said circular chamber, said dispersing mechanism being constructed as a lamellar ring surrounding said pump impeller and which includes baffle lamellas uniformly distributed over its circumference, said baffle lamellas extending substantially radially outward sand having inner end portions located immediately adjacent to a radial outer boundary of said pump impeller.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
202 words
A cyclone mixer for the continuous mixing of pulverulent substances with liquids, said cyclone mixer comprising: a mixing chamber, a tangential suction tube for liquids located in an upper region of said mixing chamber, a first pump impeller located in a lower region of said mixing chamber, a charging mechanism for introducing pulverulent substances above an eye of said first pump impeller, a dispersing mechanism surrounding said first pump impeller, a lower region of a centrifugal flow produced by said first pump impeller being guided through said dispersing mechanism into a circular chamber and being removed from said circular chamber through an outlet arranged in said circular chamber, said dispersing mechanism being constructed as a lamellar ring surrounding said first pump impeller and which includes baffle lamellas uniformly distributed over its circumference, said lamellas extending substantially radially outwards and having inner end portions located immediately adjacent to a radial outer boundary of said first pump impeller, said outlet being formed as an annular recess on an outer circumference of said circular chamber, said annular recess leading to a second pump impeller arranged coaxially below said first pump impeller, said second pump impeller producing a centrifugal flow guided through a tangential discharge connection.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
202 words
A cyclone mixer for the continuous mixing of pulverulent substances with liquids, said cyclone mixer comprising: a mixing chamber, a tangential suction tube for liquids located in an upper region of said mixing chamber, a first pump impeller located in a lower region of said mixing chamber, a charging mechanism for introducing pulverulent substances above an eye of said first pump impeller, a dispersing mechanism surrounding said first pump impeller, a lower region of a centrifugal flow produced by said first pump impeller being guided through said dispersing mechanism into a circular chamber and being removed from said circular chamber through an outlet arranged in said circular chamber, said dispersing mechanism being constructed as a lamellar ring surrounding said first pump impeller and which includes baffle lamellas uniformly distributed over its circumference, said lamellas extending substantially radially outwards and having inner end portions located immediately adjacent to a radial outer boundary of said first pump impeller, said outlet being formed as an annular recess on an outer circumference of said circular chamber, said annular recess leading to a second pump impeller arranged coaxially below said first pump impeller, said second pump impeller producing a centrifugal flow guided through a tangential discharge connection.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A cyclone mixer according to claim 2, wherein vanes of said second pump impeller are arranged on a base disk.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A cyclone mixer according to claim 3, wherein said vanes initially rise sharply and then drop slightly from an inner region to an outer edge of said base disk.
