Abstract:
1. An industrial production device for producing an immobilized biocatalyst comprising: a continuous conveyor belt; a casting mechanism mounted above the conveyor belt for applying a mixture containing a biocatalyst to the conveyor belt, the casting mechanism positioned in front of an upper drying channel through which the conveyor belt passes, the casting mechanism comprising at least one casting head with two rows of casting needle injectors through which the mixture is fed to the conveyor belt by a pressure regulated tank and a compressor, the upper drying channel disposed to deliver drying air to the mixture on the conveyor belt to dry the mixture and immobilize the biocatalyst, the drying air being blown by means of a ventilator into an air distribution system with incorporated heating elements to the upper drying channel; a reswelling tank, after the upper drying channel, through which the conveyor belt containing immobilized biocatalyst passes; a wiping and collecting device after the reswelling tank, through which the conveyor belt passes to remove and collect immobilized biocatalyst from the conveyor belt, the wiping and collecting device comprising a mechanical wiper and a high-pressure rinser, the high-pressure rinser connected to a respective pipeline with an integrated high-pressure pump and a low-pressure pump, and the mechanical wiper connected to a collecting reservoir capable of cooling where the immobilized biocatalyst is collected; a rinse box, after the wiping and collecting device, through which the conveyor belt passes to clean the conveyor belt after removing the immobilized biocatalyst, the rinse box comprising jets connected to a low-pressure pump, which is connected to a rinse tank by means of a respective pipeline; and a lower drying channel, after the rise box, through which the conveyor belt passes to dry the conveyor belt.
