Working Principle of the Hydraulic Lifting Emulsifier

The hydraulic lifting emulsifier is of the essence in the industrial equipment. let's take a closer look at the working principle and precautions of the hydraulic lifting emulsifier.

Ⅰ.Introduction to Hydraulic Elevating Emulsifier

The hydraulic lifting emulsifier is a highly efficient and versatile equipment for mixing, emulsifying, homogenizing and dispersing. It is mainly composed of a hydraulic lifting system, a main motor, a Homogenizer (rotor-stator), and a stirrer, etc. It is widely used in industries such as cosmetics, food, and chemicals, for the production of creams, lotions, sauces, ointments, and other products that require high degree of homogeneity and fineness.

Ⅱ.Working Principle

The operation of the hydraulic lifting emulsifier can be divided into two main parts: hydraulic lifting and emulsification homogenization. Working principle of the hydraulic lifting system: The following is the mechanism that enables the pot cover (along with the homogeneous head and the stirring paddle) to rise and descend smoothly. Power source: The motor drives the hydraulic pump, which then draws the hydraulic oil from the oil tank. Power transmission: The high-pressure oil generated by the hydraulic pump is transported through the pipes to the hydraulic cylinder. Action performed: After the high-pressure oil enters the hydraulic cylinder, it pushes the piston rod to move in a straight line. The piston rod is connected to the working head of the equipment (the homogenizer head and the stirring paddle), thereby enabling the entire working head to rise or descend smoothly. Control: By operating the control valve (usually a manual or electric directional valve), the flow of hydraulic oil can be changed, thereby enabling the "rise", "stop" and "fall" actions of the working head.

Working Principle and Precautions of Hydraulic Elevating Emulsifier Advantages: 1.Smooth operation: The hydraulic transmission is extremely smooth without any shocks, thus avoiding damage to the equipment. 2.High lifting capacity: It can provide a considerable amount of thrust, enabling effortless lifting and lowering of heavy components. 3.Self-locking property: In the stopped state, the system can reliably maintain its current position, ensuring high safety.

Emulsification Homogenization：

This is the core function of the equipment, responsible for the mixing, shearing and emulsification of the materials.

Two-stage mixing system: Frame-type Agitator (slow speed): Usually controlled by a variable-frequency motor, with a relatively low rotational speed. Its main function is: Macroscopic mixing: Continuously scrape the materials on the pot wall towards the center to prevent coking and ensure that the materials throughout the pot are heated and mixed evenly. Circulating flow: Create a large vortex to draw the materials into the working area of the high-speed homogenizer head. High-speed homogenizer (rotor-stator assembly, high-speed): This is the key component for achieving emulsification. The rotational speed is extremely high (typically ranging from 0 to 3000 rpm or higher) Structure: Composed of a high-speed rotating rotor and a fixed stator, there is a very precise gap between them.

Work process: Inhalation: Under the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the rotor, the material is forcibly drawn into the rotor-stator cavity from above the homogenizer head. 2. Shearing: After entering the chamber, the material is subjected to a huge centrifugal force and is rapidly thrown towards the inner wall of the stator. The material first passes through the narrow gap between the rotor and the stator and undergoes intense mechanical shearing. 3. Impact: Subsequently, the materials collide with the precise small holes on the stator wall at an extremely high speed, undergoing further impact and tearing. 4. Jetting: Finally, the fully sheared materials are jetted out at high speed through the stator holes, forming extremely fine particles. Emulsification effect: Through the combined action of intense mechanical shearing, impact and turbulence, the dispersed phase in the material (such as oil droplets, solid particles) can be effectively emulsified. The particles are broken down into microscopic or even nanoscale fine particles, which are evenly distributed in the continuous phase (such as water) to form stable and fine emulsions or suspensions.

Summary: The hydraulic lifting system is responsible for safely and smoothly lifting and lowering the working head, facilitating the feeding and cleaning processes; while the emulsification and homogenization system achieves macroscopic mixing and microscopic homogenization of the materials through a combination of "slow stirring and high-speed shearing".
