The appropriate nozzle constructions are especially adapted to the field of application of materials to be produced in the fujidized bed granulating 15 system For example, two-component nozzles are known, which usually include 3 centrally arranged inner tube and an outer tube spaced apart from this inner tube- The liquid substance to be sprayed into the fluidized bed is fed to the inner tube, while an atomizing gas is fed to the outer tube, 20 Corresponding to the material to be produced, it is also known to provide the nozzle as a three-component or four-component atomizing nozzle, or, in general, as a multi-coropoment atomizing nozzle. In this way, the materials to be atomized differently and tha atomizing gas are fed into the resulting int^rtnediate spacea between, the individual tubes or channels. 25 A disadvantage in these nozzes is their difficult cleaning, because the nozzles are difficult to access and must be built with large expense for cleaning. Especially in the food industry and in other intemnaely hygienic industries, as well as in the cherrical industry, high demands are placed on the cleanliness 30 of the system, so that it is necessary to subject the nozzles to cleaing processes at certain intervale. The objective of the invention is to create a nozzle according to the class for use in tfce food and chemical industries, which is distirnguished by good accessibility and which can be easily disassembled and assembled for a necessary cleaning: process without great expense. 5 This objective is solved according to the invention by the characterizing features of Claim 1. According to the invention, because the inner tube of the nozzle is mounted in 10 a receiving block, which is attached detach ably in a tube arranged in a fixed manner on the bottom region of a lance base and which can be removed from this tube with the inner tube and the add-on parts possibly attached to the inner tube, and because an attachment device, which connects the nozzle detachably to the processing housing of the fluidized-bed granulating system, 15 is arranged at the bottom region of the outer tube of the nozzle, the nozzle 1 can be dieassembled with a few hand movements and the individual parts can be subjected to a corresponding cleaning process. Through the arrange- ment of the corresponding attachment means, good accessibility to these means is also given, so that the nozzle can be quickly uninstalled and also 20 reinstalled. Additional advantageous configurations are described in the subordinate claims. They are explained together with their effect in the description, 25 The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodi- ment In the associated; drawing a nozzle for spraying liquid substances, dispersions emulsions, or suspensions into a fluidized-bed granulating system is illustrated, schematically. -2- 2007/013 The solution aceording to the invention is explained using a known two- compoent nozzle. The solution according to the invention can also be used analogously for three-corponent or fbur-copmponent nozzdes, 5 The known two-component nozzle includes a cylindrical nozzle body, which is formed from a. central inner tube 3 and an outer tube 2 spaced apart from, this inner tube, and of a nozzle mouth, piece 1. The inner tube 3 is connected with, its bottom and to a supply for the material to be sprayed, while the atomizig gas is fed to the nozzle mouth. piece 1 via the internuetiiamedie spaea 10 produced beween the inner tube 3 and the outer tube 2, According to the invention, the inner tube 3 is mounted in a receiving block 11, which is attached in a tube 10 arranged in a Fixed maaner at the bottom region of a lance base 9. The receiving block 11 is detachahly attached, for 15 example, by means of a tri-ciamp attachment 12, to the tube 10, so that the receiving block 11 can be removed from the nozzle with the inner tube 3 and the add-on parts 6 attached to the inner tube after loosening the attachment 12 for cleaning purposes. The attachment of the inner tube 3 on the receiving block 11 can be realized in the simplest case by welding the inner tube 3 with 20 the receiving block 11, It is especially advantageousto screw the inner tube 3 into the recetiving block 11, In this way tbe possibility arises of setting the axial position of the inner tube 3, or of a liquid insert 4 to be explained in even more detail, in the 25 region of the nozale mouth piece 1 variable relative to the outer tube 2. By setting the inner tube 3 in the axial direction, the spray angle and the spray pattern of the nozzle can be set continuously from the outside. For such a setting possibility of the inner tube 3, the seal 14 between the receiving block 11 and the inner tube 3 within the Jance base 9 is a metal compensator or an -3- 00B/013 2155686499 elastic o-ring in order to be able to seal the entire adjustment path hygieni- caliy. For realizing different spraying conditions, the inner tube 3 is provided with 5 an exchangeable liquid insert 4 in the region of the noszle mouth piese 1. the seal between the exchangeable liquid insert 4 and the inner tube 3 is realized in an advantageous way by means of a simple metal seal set 5 in order to avoid sealing materials, In the region of the nozzle mouth, piece 1, in the annular gap between the outer tube 2 and the liquid insert 4 or the inner 10 tube 3, there is an add-on part 6 in the form of swirl bodies, swirl vanes, or the like. These add-on parts 6 are used for guiding the compressed air and forguiding the inner tube 3. The add-on part 6 is connected rigidly to the inner tube 3 or alternatively to the liquid insert 4 or to the outer tube 2. 15 The attachment of the noazle on the processing housing 15 of the fluidized- bed granulatiag system is realized by means of an attachment device 8, which is arranged in the bottom region of the outer tube 2. The detachable attachment of the nozzle on the processing housing 15 is realized, for example, by « milk-tube uniou nut 7 or by means of a tri-ciamp attachment. 20 Here, the attachment device 8 is connacted rigidly or adjustably to the outer tube 2 by means of a clamping sleeve. Between the outer tube 2 and the attachment device 8, as wall as between the processing bousing 15 and the attachment device 8, there is a seal 16. As the seal 16, o-rings or other hygienic seals can be used. 25 Through the attachment according to the invention of the nozzle onto the processing; housing 15, the nozzle can be uninstaUed and also reinstaHed quickly and with minimal effort from the processing housing 15 for the purpose of cleaning. 30 -4- 00B/013 2155686499 The outer tube 2 is connected derachabiy, for example, by means of a tri- clamp attachment 13, to the lance base 9, whereby likewise a quick and uncomplicated disassembly and assembly of the parts is given.
