Herein is disclosed a comprehensive mixer performance estimation method that can be applied to the mixers of the rotor-stator type having various configurations and circulation systems. Specifically, the performance estimation method for the mixers of the rotor-stator type includes the steps of: obtaining the homogenization index: H.I. for each of the mixers, measuring the size of each of the mixers, the power requirements and flow rates during the running time of each of the mixers, estimating the magnitude (smallness or greatness) of the configuration dependent term value of each of the mixer as a whole which is specific to each of the mixers, and estimating the performance of each of the mixers accordingly.

A rotor/stator type mixer implements the particle size breakup apparatus and includes a stator having a plurality of openings formed thereon and a rotor disposed on the inside of the stator and spaced away from the stator with a specific gap. The rotor, which is disposed inwardly of the stator having the plurality of openings formed thereon so that it can be spaced away from the stator with the specific gap, has a rotor peripheral wall that faces opposite the inside of the stator peripheral wall and is disposed inwardly radially of the peripheral wall of the stator having the plurality of openings formed thereon so that it can be spaced away from the stator with the specific gap. In addition, the rotor has a plurality of openings formed thereon.

摘要:
An object of the present invention is to reduce the generation of smell by sterilization and to improve the taste in carrying out the sterilization of milk or the like, and the method of the present invention is a method where sterilization is carried out after the dissolved oxygen in milk or the like is substituted with nitrogen gas, and the method is characterized in that a step in which nitrogen gas is directly mixed with and dispersed in milk or the like and a step in which milk or the like with which nitrogen gas is not mixed is sprayed from a nozzle(s) to the top of milk or the like, with and in which nitrogen gas has been mixed and dispersed, stored in a nitrogen gas substituting tank under a nitrogen gas atmosphere, are jointly used whereby the dissolved oxygen amount in the milk or the like is reduced by substitution of the dissolved oxygen with nitrogen gas, followed by subjecting to sterilization.
