Filed: 1932-11-04
Abstract: <PICT:0409727/III/1> In preparing a concentrated food product from materials of vegetable origin and of cellular structure, other than potatoes and cereals the pulped material is fed from a a trough 14 to an internally heated rotating drying drum 11 preferably of stainless steel which is heated to above 100 DEG  C., a distributing roll 13 being provided which is rotated at the same linear speed as the drum 11 and is preferably heated to somewhat below 100 DEG  C., e.g. 95 DEG  C., and arranged to provide between it and drum 11 confined space of relatively high temperature through which the pulp has to pass.  The distance between roll 13 and drum 11 is adjustable to suit various pulps.  The particles of the pulp are thereby dispersed so as to be separated by exposed portions of the drying surface and are finally removed by a flexible scraper knife 15 of stainless steel which consolidates them into a continuous porous sheet 17 which can if desired be folded to form a laminated product.  Other forms of drying surfaces such as disc, travelling belt or flat surfaces may be used and centrifugal, spray gun or other dispersing means may be employed.  The time of drying normally varies from 2\ba1/2\be to 30 seconds and the finished product has preferably a moisture content appreciably below that at which fermentation occurs, preferably 4\ba1/2\be--7\ba1/2\be per cent by weight.  The cooling of the material may be accelerated after separation from the drum, e.g. by cooling the blade 15 by a water jacket 20 or by directing an air blast on to the material in proximity to the blade.
