METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC CONTROLLING OF PROCESS FOR COLD SMOKING OF FOOD PRODUCTS IN ELECTROSTATIC FIELD Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A23B4/44 

FIELD: food-processing industry, in particular, automatic process for cold smoking of food products in electrostatic field.

SUBSTANCE: method involves processing food product with smoke; measuring and adjusting smoke-and-air mixture flow rate, sawdust and air ratio in smoke generator; measuring temperature and moisture content of smoke-and-air mixture in smoking chamber and its concentration at smoking chamber inlet and outlet ends; determining current value of smoking substances settled on product during smoking procedure on the basis of current values of smoke-and-air mixture concentration at inlet and outlet ends of smoking chamber and flow rate of smoke-and-air mixture; stopping smoking process when amount of settled substances reaches predetermined value.

EFFECT: increased precision and reliable controlling of process for cold smoking of food products in electrostatic field, improved quality of ready product and reduced specific consumption of power.
