SATURATOR FOR BEET-SUGAR PRODUCTION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C13B20/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: proposed saturator for beet-sugar production contains a cone-bottomed cylindrical body equipped with technologic nipples and perforated baffle plates positioned in its lower part, designed in the form of elastic membranes for saturation gas flow dispersion. In the upper part of the body a device for juice drops separation from saturation gas is positioned; the device is represented by a conic frustum with longitudinal spiral grooves on the inside surface mounted with its major base to the wall of the cylindrical body to form a cavity for exuded drops collection on the outside; the cavity is communicated with the cylindrical body cavity positioned under the conic frustum. At least four flexible return tubes blanked off on the lower butt are diametrically positioned in the cylindrical body. Along each tube inside the tube wall convergent nozzles are designed for juice supply from the collection cavity onto the inside surface of the cylindrical body and formation of a liquid film on the surface. The perforated baffle plates are connected to a vibrator designed in the form of a drive with vibration regulation; the vibrator is connected to a pressure regulator and includes setting and comparison units, a magnetic and electronic amplifiers with a linear feedback unit as well as a pressure sensor positioned before the perforated baffle plates in the lower part of the saturator cylindrical body. The vibration regulator is designed in the form of a package of electromagnetic powder couplings.

EFFECT: saturator enables production of high quality saturated juice.
