Chapter 1 - Main Structure

Structure statement
 YX-VME350L vacuum emulsifying unit is mainly consisted of main pot, grease pot, water
pot, electric control panel, hydraulic system, vacuum system as well as the framework. The
main pot includes isotropic stirring pot, the homogeneous unit and bidirectional mixing tools.

Chapter 2 - Working Principles
The material is preheated and stirred in water and grease pot, and then will be leaded into
the homogeneous pot in vacuum situation by the conveyor pipe.
The material is stirred in the homogeneous pot. There is a Teflon scraper (scraper
throughout to cater to pot shape, sweeping material sticking on the wall), unceasingly
producing the new interface. The frame agitator and its reverse stirring leaf are operating by
cutting, compressing and folding to stir and mix the materials which will flow down to the
homogenizer. The high speed rotation of the rotor and stator will shear, shock the materials to
be sheared in the shear cracks, producing the particles whose size is 200nm～2μm. The
pelletizing, emulsification, mixing, homogenizing and dispersion of the materials can be done
in a very short time. Since the homogeneous pot is under the vacuum state, the bubbles
generated in the material during the mixing process will be siphoned quickly. After the
homogenizing finished, raise the pot lid and press the dumping button and the materials will
flow from the pot to the outer container. (Or you can open the valve at the bottom of the pot
and pressure valve to discharge the mixed material directly).
The heating temperature of the homogenous pot is displayed on the temperature controller
located on the control panel. Homogeneous mixing and paddles stirring can be used separately
or simultaneously. The isotropic frame and blend knife can be used at same time or separately.
The homogenizing time can be changed according the material property and the time can be
adjusted by customer via the control panel. Open the cleaning ball valve to clean the pot after
work.

Chapter 6 – Caution
1. Since the homogenizing cutter has a very high speed when operating, don’t run it in
empty pot in case that parts overheat will effect the pot seal.
2. Ground wire should be connected to the ground to make sure of the electricity safety.
3. Homogenizer is running reversely when we look it from up view. Please jog to try to
switch the motor when the motor is connected to electricity or after a long time
without running. The stirring frame is turning reversely from the top view. Try to jog
the agitator until it runs smoothly and then operate the homogenizer.
4. Joggle the machine to check any unusual behavior of the agitator and scraper before
running the machine in full speed. Eliminate machine errors immediately if they are
existing.
5. Make sure the pot lid, nozzle cover sealed properly before turning on the vacuum
pump.
6. Shut off the vacuum ball valve before turning off the vacuum pump.
7. The vacuum pump can start operation when the homogenizing pot is well sealed. If the
vacuum needs to be run under open air for special requirements, don’t run the pump
over 3 minutes.
8. Cut the power before any cleaning or maintenance of the machine
9. Do not put your hand into the pot when the equipment is running.
10. Stop the machine when unusual noise occurs. Check the machine thoroughly and fix
the problem before re-starting the machine.

Chapter7 - Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance

1. Connect the right power supply to the machine and make sure that the ground wire is
connected to ground. Turn on the main power and the power indicator will light
up.( Jog to try to switch the motor when the motor is connected to electricity or after a

8
 long time without running. The stirring frame is turning reversely from the top view.
Try to jog the agitator until it runs smoothly and then operate the homogenizer. ).
2. Connect all the hoses on the homogenizing pot in a right way (including overflow
hoses, outlet hose and dumping hose).
3. Make sure the pot lid, nozzle cover sealed properly before turning on the vacuum
pump before taking out the vacuum. Close all valve ports on the lid and open the
vacuum valve on the lid. Then turn on the vacuum pump and turn it off when the air is
taken out. Close the vacuum valve at the time. (Please refer to the flow chart for
details)
4. Homogenizing cutting, scraper stirring: Turn on the homogenizing cutter and scraper
frame after feeding the material into the isotropic pot. Joggle the motor and check the
stirring scraper before start. If there is any errors, stop and machine solve the problems
immediately before resetting.
5. The vacuum pump can start operation when the homogenizing pot is well sealed. If the
vacuum needs to be run under open air for special requirements, don’t run the pump
over 3 minutes.
6. Do not run the vacuum pump without material in the pot. Do not block the pump
exhaust when running.
7. Check and lubricate the bearings and other critical components regularly.
8. Keep homogenizing pot clean. Wash the parts where the homogenizing pot is
connected with the working fluids in every stop and change of materials, especially the
cutting wheel and cutting sleeve on the head and sliding bearings, bushings within the
homogeneous sleeve. After cleaned and re-assembled, hand-turning impeller should
be no clamping stagnation. Jog homogenizer motor to turn in the right way when pot
lid and body flanges are relatively fixed. If no other abnormalities, the machine can
start running.
9. Cleaning standards are based on the material property and customers’ specific needs.
