APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING OF EGG POWDER Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A23B5/35 

FIELD: food-processing industry.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus has vertical cylindrical drying chamber with conical bottom and upper vortex-type inlet for drying agent. Axial pipeline disposed in upper part of drying chamber is adapted for discharge of used drying agent. Conical baffle is positioned within drying chamber on axial pipeline for discharge of used drying agent, with base of conical baffle being oriented downward. Conical baffle defines annular slot in conjunction with walls of drying chamber, with inlet of axial pipeline for discharge of used drying agent being positioned above base of conical baffle. Such construction enables optimal distribution and regulation of heat-carrier flows and flows of material to be dried through variations in design of apparatus.

EFFECT: intensified drying process owing to increased moving force of drying process due to concentration difference and increased efficiency, reduced consumption of power for moisture evaporation, and reduced loss of final product.
