METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF FOOD POWDER AND UNIT FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A23B7/26 F26B9/06 F26B21/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method and unit for implementation of the method involve supplying raw material mixture into drying chamber where it is additionally ground by crushing on the activator and dried in the flow of gaseous heat carrier with temperature of 80-165°C moving in the ascendant direction with a rate of 1.0-1.5 of the one of particles free fall. Particles with the flow of moistened heat carrier enriched with gas-vapour mixture extracted from biological raw material are carried out of the drying chamber into centrifugal collector for collection of food powder. Flow of gaseous heat carrier is introduced into the drying chamber along its axis towards the activator. Moisture is extracted from the moistened heat carrier in the moisture separator after removing the moistened heat carrier flow from the mentioned centrifugal collector and spraying it with condensate evolved previously from the moistened heat carrier.

EFFECT: it ensures production of fine-grained food powder and liquid consentrate extracted from biological raw material.
