SEPARATOR FOR SEPARATION OF EMULSIONS Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: separation of emulsions in food and other industries.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is dealt with equipment for separation of emulsions into fractions in the field of a centrifugal force action and may be used in food and other industries. The separator has a drum installed on a vertical shaft and containing a base with the hub and a cover, a package of plates mounted on a plate-holder. The plate-holder has a tubular body with a supporting cone to support a package of plates, under which there are separated by partitions the lower chambers of preliminary separation of an emulsion and the upper vertical chambers of its preliminary separation and located between them zones of the light fraction collection. The separator is supplied with the feed pipe for delivery of the source emulsion and pressure disks for withdrawal of the mild and heavy factions. The tubular body of the plate-holder is supplied with the launders located in the lower and upper chambers of preliminary separation in compliance of their height and serving for collection of the light fraction and prevention of its washing out by the separated emulsion. Outside walls of launders are placed in the inner cavity of the tubular body of the plate-holder and serve simultaneously for spin up of an emulsion arriving into the body. The lower chambers of preliminary separation are supplied with the bottoms, that form channels for the sediment passing between them and the basic cone of the plate-holder, that are used for protection of separated emulsions against turbulization at the piston motions during centrifugal unloadings of the residue. The invention ensures an increase of productivity of the separator at separation of milk and other emulsions.

EFFECT: the invention ensures increase productivity of the separator at separation of milk and other emulsions.
