  • Publication number: 20230133177
    Abstract: A dispersing and grinding device for dispersing or grinding particles in a particle-containing liquid with a shear force generated when the particle-containing liquid passes through a gap, the dispersing and grinding device including: a casing; a rotor, a stator, and an impeller; and drive means. The gap is defined between the stator and the rotor. When the rotor and the impeller are rotated by the drive means, the particle-containing liquid is allowed to flow into the casing through an inflow portion of the casing by a rotating force of the impeller, and passes through the gap to cause the particles in the particle-containing liquid to be dispersed or ground with a shear force generated when the particle-containing liquid passes through the gap.

  • Patent number: 11565274
    Abstract: Provided is a magnetic separator in which even when content of a magnetic sludge in a liquid to be treated increases, recovery performance of the magnetic sludge is less likely to degrade and a malfunction of the device is less likely to occur. A part of an outer peripheral surface of a magnet drum is immersed in a flow of the liquid to be treated containing the magnetic sludge. A removing mechanism removes the magnetic sludge on the outer peripheral surface of the magnet drum from the outer peripheral surface of the magnet drum. A magnetic sludge containing information acquisition device acquires magnetic sludge containing information relating to a content of the magnetic sludge contained in the liquid to be treated. A control device changes a magnetic sludge removal capability of the magnet drum depending on the magnetic sludge containing information acquired by the magnetic sludge containing information acquisition device.
