Definitions

  • the object of the invention is thus to provide an impeller with a considerably greater self-cleaning capability so that sterilization with steam or other fluids can occur in a considerably shorter time.
  • the bearing means includes a stub-axle centrally located on an end wall of an inwardly extending cylindrical recess in the vessel's bottom wall.
  • the bearing- and drive means of the impeller are shown in figure 2 and include an inwardly-directed cylindrical recess 12 in the vessel wall 11, the recess being welded in such a way that no opening or inlets occur in this section of the tank wall.
  • the impeller 10 is rotatably supported by means of a bush 10a on a stub axle 13 which is centrally located on an end wall 14, which demarcates the cylindrical recess 12.
  • the impeller 10 is, like the vessel 11, principally manufac­tured from acidproof stainless steel, with a number of angled blades 15 and a central lifting ring 16.
  • the impeller presents a peripheral section 17 which surrounds the cylindrical recess 12 and contains a number of permanent magnets 18 which are inductively connected to a corresponding number of permanent magnets 19 which are located in a rotor 20.
  • This rotor is arranged to be driven in the direction of arrow 21 (see figure 1) by a (not shown) conventional electric motor, whereby the impeller 10 surrounding the recess is caused to rotate.
  • the passages and the orifices can be greater or fewer in number.
  • the device for driving the impeller can be diffe­rently designed.
