EXTRUSION AND CONDITIONING INTEGRATED UNIT Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A23N17/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an extrusion and conditioning integrated unit. The extrusion and conditioning integrated unit with the extruder in the product transportation position communicates with the body of the conveyor tightly connected to the pneumatic supply line and the pneumatic conveyor line; therefrom extruded material can be removed pneumatically, in particular - with the help of superheated steam. The extruder may be relocated from the transportation to the bypass position. In such position the extruder is relocated into a standing outside the conveyor body. There is a means ensuring tight insulation of the supply and conveyor lines as ell as the conveyor body from the ambient environment while the extruder is in the transportation and bypass positions.

EFFECT: invention usage will enable enhanced efficiency of the integrated unit operation by way of ensuring a closed state of the pneumatic conveyor system and its isolation from the ambient environment.
