ABOUT ULTRA-FAST PROCESSING OF HETEROGENEOUS DISPERSE SYSTEMS
The article analyzes the characteristics of inhomogeneous dispersed systems (emulsions and suspensions) used in food production. Rheological properties and conditions of phase reversibility of disperse systems are considered. The analysis of known methods and equipment used in various industries for dispersion of emulsions and suspensions. Their advantages and disadvantages are noted. The basic directions of processing of a hetero-geneous dispersed systems. It is shown that one of the promising directions of processing, providing uniformity and stability, is ultrahigh-speed rotary dispersion. The description of the proposed method of ultrahigh-speed dispersion of emulsions and suspensions and the design of a compact rotary disperser developed in Penza state technical University is given. The expediency of its further modernization for the treatment of liquid media with high viscosity is noted, and one of the variants of the technical solution of the modernized dispersant for further theoretical research and practical implementation is proposed.
