HOP DRYER WITH TOROIDAL AND ASTROIDAL RESONATORS WITH ENERGY SUPPLY IN AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC C12C3/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture and can be used in hop farms for drying freshly harvested hops while maintaining consumer properties. The hop dryer contains successively located in a vertical plane toroidal resonators 5 with alternating resonators in the form of astroids 7 with truncated tops and ceramic biconvex perforated disks 3 in the middle, with a diameter equal to the diameter of the astroid. The perimeters of the truncated apexes of the astroids are joined with the perimeters of the corresponding plates of the capacitor part of the toroidal resonator. Through the middle of the capacitor parts 15 of toroidal resonators and truncated astroids and ceramic perforated biconvex disks, a working branch 8 of a dielectric mesh conveyor is laid. A dielectric mesh limiter 9 is installed along the conveyor on both sides. The loading container 1 is located above the working branch of the conveyor, in front of the first half of the truncated astroid without magnetrons, and the receiving container 11 is located after the second half of the truncated astroid without magnetrons. Magnetrons with waveguide 6 are located with a shift of 120 degrees on the surface of the tori and in both halves of the truncated astroids, except for the first part of the first astroid and the second part of the last astroid. Air outlets 14 and air ducts 13 with a heat gun are attached to each resonator.

EFFECT: use of the invention will improve the quality of the finished product.
