Description
本創作是關於一種乳化設備，特別是關於一種薄膜乳化設備。 This creation is about an emulsifying device, especially a thin-film emulsifying device.
乳化技術(Emulsion)為將兩種不互融的液體(或氣體與液體)中的一種以0.2~50μm的細微粒顆粒型式散於另一種液體(或氣體)中，於食品、化妝品、醫藥及工業上皆被廣泛的應用。其中具有低能耗及低剪切力特性之薄膜乳化法近年來受重視，其目的為以天然或合成的高分子材料把液體、固體甚至氣體包裹，藉由壁材的包覆提供心材與外界環境間的物理屏障，進而賦予心材原本沒有的特性，且所獲得的乳化液滴其包含粒徑小、分布窄、穩定性高、質地均勻細緻及輸送特性佳等優勢，同時因過程不產熱，所以也不會破懷熱敏感物質，用於揮發性香料時可有效延長產品貨架期。 Emulsion technology (Emulsion) is to disperse one of two immiscible liquids (or gas and liquid) in another liquid (or gas) in the form of 0.2~50μm fine particles, which is used in food, cosmetics, medicine and It is widely used in industry. Among them, the thin film emulsification method with the characteristics of low energy consumption and low shear force has received attention in recent years. Its purpose is to wrap liquid, solid or even gas with natural or synthetic polymer materials, and provide the core material and the external environment by coating the wall material. The physical barrier between them, and then endows the heartwood with the characteristics that the heartwood does not have originally, and the obtained emulsified droplets have the advantages of small particle size, narrow distribution, high stability, uniform and fine texture, and good conveying characteristics. At the same time, because the process does not generate heat, Therefore, it will not break the heat-sensitive substances, and can effectively extend the shelf life of products when used in volatile fragrances.
薄膜乳化的原理機制為乳化液之分散相流體在溫和的製程條件下，經由孔隙大小一致的多孔膜管而進入另一邊的連續相流體中，而連續相流體則需藉由外力持續產生擾動才可將分散相流體從多孔膜管上不斷刷下，目的在於使分散相流體以細小顆粒形式分布於連續相流體中，達到均勻乳化之效果。 The principle mechanism of thin film emulsification is that the dispersed phase fluid of the emulsion enters the continuous phase fluid on the other side through a porous membrane tube with the same pore size under mild process conditions, and the continuous phase fluid needs to be continuously disturbed by external force. The dispersed phase fluid can be continuously brushed down from the porous membrane tube, the purpose is to make the dispersed phase fluid distribute in the continuous phase fluid in the form of fine particles to achieve the effect of uniform emulsification.
目前已知的薄膜乳化設備中具有許多不同形式之機構外型設計，雖技術上具備諸多優勢，但現有操作設備的設計仍存在許多問題，例如缺乏保溫機制、連續相及分散相於製程中之壓力比例的有效控制、多功能性及自動化 模式之設計等，因此存在有人員操作失誤造成損失及產品品質不佳的隱患。若能針對上述問題點進行改良設計，將可大幅降低人員操作失誤造成的損失，並能使產品品質均一化。 The currently known thin-film emulsification equipment has many different forms of mechanical design.

內管與外管之間形成一引流通道。具體而言，連續相槽體210的內管與外管之間係形成連續相引流通道212，分散相槽體220的內管與外管之間係形成分散相引流通道222，薄膜乳化槽230的內管與外管之間係形成乳化槽引流通道232，連續相流體和分散相流體所流經之管路的內管與外管之間係形成引流通道(圖未示出)，連續相引流通道212、分散相引流通道222、乳化槽引流通道232之間係由一連接引流管250所連接；在本創作實施例中，水浴設備240所提供之水浴流體係依序經由連接引流管250而流通於分散相槽體220的分散相引流通道222、薄膜乳化槽230的乳化槽引流通道232、連續相槽體210的連續相引流通道212，連續相流體和分散相流體所流經之管路的內管與外管之間係形成引流通道，並且回到水浴設備240中循環使用(即如第一圖中箭頭C所示)。根據本創作，利用水浴流體在乳化製程中對連續相流體、分散相流體及乳化液進行冷卻、加熱與保溫等作業，可使得薄膜乳化設備200內的連續相流體、分散相流體及乳化液之溫度分佈更為均勻。又藉由控制連續相槽體210的連續相引流通道212、分散相槽體220的分散相引流通道222、薄膜乳化槽230的乳化槽引流通道232、連續相流體和分散相流體所流經之管路的引流通道、以及連接引流管250的流體路徑，可避免作為熱源或冷源之水浴流體以逐漸堆積之方式充滿於夾套內部，造成冷點及熱點的產生而影響乳化反應效果。另外，透過以水浴設備進行持溫的機制，可以避免具有高熔點的連續相流體與分散相流體在乳化製程中因製程溫度降低而發生固化導致堵塞。

利用本創作之薄膜乳化設備200中的各式管路連接及開關閥之設置，可控制分散相流體、連續相流體和乳化液等之流向，以進行乳化、再次乳化、出料等作業的操控。具體說明如下：在乳化製程進行時，連續相輸送源214(例如、但不限於沉水泵)抽取連續相槽體210中之連續相流體，並將連續相流體打入薄膜乳化槽230以進
行乳化製程。詳言之，當設置在連續相槽體210與薄膜乳化槽230之間的開關閥V1和可控制流量的開關閥V2呈開啟狀態，且二次乳化回路中可控制流量的開關閥V3關閉時，連續相槽體210內的連續相流體被泵送而流經管路進入薄膜乳化槽230(如第一圖中箭頭A2所示)。連續相槽體210和連續相輸送源214之間的管路上設有流量檢測裝置(例如流量計或流速計)F，以即時檢測並調整泵送之連續相流體的流量和流速。同時，透過分散相輸送源224或228的運作，分散相槽體220係通過氣壓輸送(當分散相輸送源224為一氣壓源時)、或是由蠕動泵推送(當分散相輸送源228為一蠕動泵時)、或是二者結合並且配合抽氣裝置226與開關閥V5之操作輸送模式，將其內部之分散相流體經由注入通道輸送至薄膜乳化槽230及其中的多孔膜管231管間空隙中，進以與連續相流體進行混合和乳化(如第一圖中箭頭A1所示)。此外，在分散相槽體220與薄膜乳化槽230之間還可設有入料分支通道221、可二段控制流量之開關閥V6及流量檢測裝置(例如流量計)(F)等，令分散相流體慢慢擠入多孔膜管231中被連續相流體沖刷包覆以形成乳化液。
Using the various pipeline connections and the setting of on-off valves in the thin
上述乳化液自薄膜乳化槽230經管路輸出至連續相槽體210(如第一圖中箭頭A3所示)。在本創作實施例中，薄膜乳化槽230至連續相槽體210之間的管路上係設置有檢測元件以檢測乳化液的即時狀態。舉例而言，在管路上設置一乳化狀態檢測裝置260(如分光光度計或工業相機)檢測乳化液的濁度，進以確認乳化液的乳化程度；或設置有壓力檢測裝置(壓力計)P，檢測流經管路的乳化液壓力等。

根據本創作實施例，連續相槽體210底部與出料口213相連，並利用開關閥V4的切換控制乳化液的出料(如第一圖中箭頭A4所示)。

In this embodiment, in addition to the temperature detection device T, the outer layer of the
根據本創作之構想，薄膜乳化設備200係進一步設計有二次乳化回路216以供乳化液進行多重乳化。當乳化液(即連續相流體挾帶分散相流體之顆粒)從薄膜乳化槽230流出後，通過可控制流量的開關閥V2、V3的調節，部分乳化液可經由二次乳化回路216回送至連續相槽體210，另一部分乳化液則行經原本通道沖刷包覆擠入多孔膜之乳化液，再次進行乳化，並持續進行後續循環至乳化液達到設定的乳化狀態，乳化製程結束。具體而言，當一次乳化製程結束時，可視乳化液的即時狀態選擇關閉輸送源及將乳化液送至出料口213進行出料，或是調整可控制流量的開關閥V2以限制原本通道之流量，並開啟可控制流量的開關閥V3並調整為適當通過流量，以開啟二次乳化回路216，以對乳化液進行多重乳化。
