FIELD: food industry; feed industry; pharmaceutics; cosmetic industry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a device for aerating pasty products and a method for aerating pasty products, in particular, for the food and feed industry, as well as for the pharmaceutical or cosmetic industry. The device for aerating a pasty product contains case (1) passing in the longitudinal direction. Case (1) contains inlet (4) for the pasty product to be aerated, and outlet (5) for an aerated product. Inside case (1), there are at least first set (21) of a rotor and stator and second set (22) of a rotor and stator, wherein each set (21, 22) of the rotor and stator has complementary toothed rims, oppositely oriented in the longitudinal direction. The specified device contains drive shaft (3). Rotors from each set (21, 22) of the rotor and stator are connected to the specified drive shaft. The device contains gas injector (6) for introducing, upstream relatively to first set (21) of the rotor and stator, gas into the pasty product to be aired. The device additionally contains intermediate mixing chamber (7) provided in the case between first and second sets (21, 22) of the rotor and stator, and a means for introducing a secondary product that protrudes into intermediate mixing chamber (7) in such a way that to ensure discharge into specified intermediate mixing chamber (7).
EFFECT: invention provides a better distribution or homogenization of the secondary product in the aerated paste-like product and increases the time of movement of the secondary product into the paste-like product before it reaches the set of the rotor and stator.
