METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING V (H MALZ

For the production of malt, in particular of beer malt, methods "". Cad devices have been known for a long time. Soaking and germination of the barley and drying of the malt can be described as the most important technological work processes. The known processes generally consist of sequential, batch-wise process stages, where again individual paragraphs are continuously carried out: the devices used to carry out these processes correspond to the processes. Recently it was aue dtr literature embraces a continuously working device, which consists of a continuously working soft, no and Darnrorrichtuii ^ s group. Subject of

The present invention is also a continuous process and a continuous device performing this for the production of malt products, but with the further requirement, that the quality of the malt produced is better despite the continuous process, according to the respective requirements adjustable and more even.

The most important components of the known continuous device consist of an inclined screw washer _t an endless conveyor belt connected to this, on which the barley is sprayed, aerated and softened. A further endless conveyor belt is arranged below the conveyor belt for the purpose of germination of the young malt (green malt). At the end of this conveyor belt, the seedling is conveyed by a pneumatic conveyor system and via a vibrating chute onto one belt of the kiln consisting of two conveyor belts. Drying is carried out in the first paragraph and kilning in the second. At the end of the second conveyor belt, a cooling zone is switched on, whereby the malt produced - in a storable condition - can be fed to the silo.

The device is in principle suitable for the continuous production of the malt, but is available with different technological deficiencies and additional costs. In addition, the known method and the known device

The prerequisite for a good germination process is that all the grains have a certain period of ventilation be exposed at the same time. Since an economical germination of barley can only be carried out in layers, the Ventilation in the lower, middle and upper layers different · This disadvantage is caused by turning over and loosening the Fixed layers. In the known device, the turning is carried out so that the Junynalz on a single For- ™ derband is guided, with a plurality of turning hooks arranged above the conveyor belt engage, whereby a loosening of the Malts blsw. Seedling takes place, the arrangement of the individual grains remains unchanged in the corresponding layer. This fact is disadvantageous because in the different phases of germination, the ideal aeration time is also different, accordingly the conveyor belt speed and layer thickness should be be controllable. Since the individual grains do not go through the malting process during the precisely specified time, the | ten malt a difference in quality. According to the literature, the so-called grain migration can reach about 30%, that in the two Measured directions gives a total of 60% of those grains whose germination rate deviates from the prescribed.

M5e ventilation are ^achieved: Since the known turning devices for complete turning around of the running on the conveyor belt green malt are not suitable, no ^ lei ^clim Q. ^ss can. It is generally known that in the layer of malt in contact with the conveyor belt, the moisture content of the air is greater, and therefore also the germination more intense, than in the 909885/0037 -3- BAD ORIGINAL

upper layers. If it is not possible to ensure that the layers are turned evenly, then germination will also become uneven, which means that fine goods of inferior quality are produced.

In the known continuous device, constant conveyor belt speed, amount of air and temperature mean a bond that precludes the setting of a circumstance that is best suited to the respective biological condition of the barley, which ultimately leads to a reduction in the malt yield.

With the burr cylinder located at the end of the upper conveyor belt, there is only a shag of the falling malt reached, which now loosens and falls more evenly. To carry out one of the objectives set for the invention but this device is unsuitable.

The already mentioned disadvantageous arrangement of the kiln plant also has the disadvantage that their air can no longer be used, which results in additional energy costs and this is also unfavorable with regard to the quality of the product is.

The present invention relates to the continuous production of malt, in particular beer malt from barley »with a certain regularity and quality, wherein the treatment of the raw material or the seedling with a liquid and / or gaseous substance in a device is carried out, each equipped with a funding body Has soft, germination and Darranlage, which are equipped with disintegrating and compacting organs arranged in these are.

The barley prepared in the calibration facility is used in the case an arrangement of layers due to gravity on the first Continuous germination line. If the soft system is not above the germination system, as shown in the figure, but arranged next to it, the barley can be transported by means of a mechanical or pneumatic conveyor system Germination plant are fed.

The germinal surface consists of inclined conveyor belts arranged one above the other and separated from each other are and also individually form a germinal space, the individual Germ rooms are provided with turning and locking devices.

The regulation of the germination or pre-fermentation, as well as the Soaking and kilning is done by dividing the conveyor in several, individual paragraphs within the individual technological phases. Accordingly, the individual Belt paragraphs run slower or faster, whereby the layer thickness can be kept larger or smaller. So the temperature can be adjusted according to the quality of the barley and the type of malt to be produced, i.e. the Production according to the respective biochemical changes and thereby the quality of the end product and the yield of the malt are increased.

This design makes it possible to keep the green malt in the individual germ chambers at the desired air temperature and to be able to treat humidity accordingly. The inclined arrangement of the bands also has an effect on the ventilation flow is favorable. The returning empty one Because of its training, Bandzweig exercises an ßiebwir-

In order to increase ventilation, and to avoid one Dismantling "tu d lowering the density of the green malt, the upper loaded belt branch can be guided in waves, what is achieved by appropriate arrangement of the roles.

The complete turning of the green malt from one belt to the other is achieved * by turning it over the upper part of the layer of the upper discharge belt with a higher speed than the conveyor belt, by means of a conveyor unit, expediently one with Shovels equipped with a layer-forming turning roller and engagement a guide plate on the lower, empty conveyor belt is fed. The division of the upper part can be effected by adjusting the height of the turning roller shaft. The one on the Upper band leftover layer of material is moved forward of the belt is continuously conveyed onto the malt already on the lower branch of the belt. The ventilation of the Malt is generally used to avoid overdrying, turned off during turning. In the invention This can be avoided with this method, as the malt is in a paragraph where the ventilation is located during the turning over can practically be neglected. The turning over can therefore be carried out continuously without the size of the Ventilation modified
