1.1 EKATO PARAVISC -Agitator Consisting of agitating tool, shaft, bevel gear reducer and motor. Design: EKATO patented Z-type PARAVISC Design without screws in the product wetted area (according to cGMP, pharmaceutical standard). Due to the PARAVISC design the production mixer is suited for a wide range of viscosities. It guarantees an extremely good vertical mixing. By means of the continuous movement of the product along the wall, short cooling times are achieved. Due to reduced surface area remain consequently less product residues. The PARAVISC has no additional mixing blades, the product room is free of obstacles. This allows for best and quick de-aeration of the product. All UNIMIX units at BELCORP are equipped with the PARAVISC agitator. This allows for achieving very homogeneous product in the complete batch volume and to scale-up heating-cooling and mixing times as well as energy input. Machine model: SRA 10 000 Power of PARAVISC agitator (up to 20.000 mPas): 30 kW rpm of mixing tool (cw, ccw, reverse mode): 4…22 min-1 Rpm of mixing tool step-less controlled by a frequency converter incl. reverse operation mode. Shaft sealing Sealing of the agitator shaft by a 4-fold set of sealing rings. Scraping system Material of construction for product bowl scrapers is PTFE. Design is the EKATO UNIMIX bi-directional pivot-type. For the installation and de-installation of these scrapers no stainless steel safety ring and no screw is needed. The scraper is fixed by a single bolt. Axial forces are absorbed by the scraper support.

1.3 UNIMIX homogenizer S-JET 2500 cGMP conform high performance homogenizer, designed for applications in pharmaceutical production. According to the rotor / stator principle, located centrically at the bottom of the vessel. Homogenizer model: S-JET 2500 Power (up to 20.000 mPAS): 55 kW Speed of homogenizer: 500 ... 1800 min-1 infinitely variable speed (within the specified range) controlled by frequency inverter. Controlled BTO – numbers (Batch Turn Over), assuring repeatability of product quality and production times, avoiding overheating or breaking of the emulsion. The BTO–concept allows for safe scale-up of the homogenizing time between all UNIMIX units at BELCORP, with the same results in droplet size, droplet size distribution, viscosity, texture, distribution of colour, pigments etc. The homogenizer is adjustable and can work in 2 positions: 100% internal or 100% external:

1) INTERNAL: The product will be homogenized inside the vessel, re-

entry below the product level, radial in parallel to the vessel bottom 2) EXTERNAL: The product is homogenized and pumped via

external circulation pipe into the upper part of the vessel, re-entry above the product level

By operating the respective valves in the circulating pipe the vessel

contents can be discharged.

In both operation modes liquids and solids can be drawn in directly into the rotor-stator system.

Logotipo Belcorp


Pressure execution of homogenizer The homogenizer develops a discharge pressure (up to 3 bar) which can be used to discharge high viscous finished product. When this feature is used with a CIP system the result is shorter cleaning cycles and enhanced cleaning efficiency.

Shaft sealing Shaft sealing of the homogenizer is accomplished with a double acting mechanical seal. Mechanical seal faces: Product contacted: SiC / SiC / Viton Atmospheric contacted: SiC / SiC / Viton The seal rings are cooled and lubricated by a mixture of glycerine / water, white oil, etc. The mechanical seal assembly is designed to promote circulation of the cooling and lubricating fluid through a compensation tank. The compensation tank is equipped with: • pressure gauge with two limit contacts (low and high) • two level contacts (low actuating alarm and low/ low stopping

homogenizer) • pressure relief safety valve • cooling coil built into compensation tank, including • valve to open/close the cooling water valve during homogeniser
