CAROUSEL HOP DRYER Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC C12C3/02 F26B15/04 F26B3/347 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in hop farms. The hop dryer is made in the form of non-ferromagnetic radial segments of a vertical cylinder. The segments have equal volume. On the side faces of the segments there are windows to accommodate a carousel dielectric perforated ring platform mounted on a dielectric frame attached to the dielectric shaft of the electric motor. On the platform, ring dielectric combs are located at a distance of 3-4 cm from each other. In each segment, in the inner cylinder formed by their end sides, there are air exhaust windows with a diameter of no more than 3.06 cm. A non-ferromagnetic exhaust fan is located on the upper base of the inner cylinder. A shaft from the electric motor passes through the lower base of the inner cylinder. The emitters are directed through waveguides from magnetrons on three outer sides into segments forming volumetric resonators, alternating with segments without magnetrons. Convex ceramic reflectors are attached inside the outer sides of the resonators. The lower bases of the resonators are equipped with air ducts from heat guns. Above the first segment in the direction of movement of raw materials there is a non-ferromagnetic loading container with a damper and a spiral non-ferromagnetic electric drive screw. A dielectric limiter is installed radially under the loading container to the annular dielectric combs. Inside the last segment, in the direction of movement of the raw materials, along the diagonal of its base, there is a dielectric axleless rigid screw electric drive auger for supplying the dried raw materials into the receiving container.

EFFECT: invention ensures the preservation of the consumer properties of hops while improving its microbiological characteristics.
