A controlled cavitation device for mixing and heating of fluids in
industries where sanitary conditions must be maintained. The device is
easily disassembled for thorough cleaning and then easily assembled for
continued operation. All internal surfaces are devoid of angles and are
polished to food industry standards to maintain sanitary operation. The
controlled cavitation device includes a cylindrical bearing housing for
supporting a drive shaft that extends through each end of the bearing
housing. An interior end plate is mounted to a C-face mount adjacent to
the bearing housing and has a plurality of threaded bores around a
periphery. A rotor is mounted adjacent to the interior end plate on the
C-face mount. A housing assembly includes a cylindrical housing wall and
is mounted on a swing arm assembly that is secured in place adjacent to
the rotor. The housing assembly is rotated about a pivot arm in a first
direction to fully enclose the rotor during assembly and is rotated in an
opposite direction to expose the rotor during disassembly. An exterior
end plate is fixed to one end of the housing wall to form a flange for
connecting the housing assembly to the interior end plate.
