Definitions
- the subject of the invention is a process and an installation for the production of crystallized dextrose monohydrate.
- the known methods provide for the simultaneous use of several devices of the mixer type, arranged horizontally or vertically; these devices are equipped with stirring means and with temperature regulation means capable of establishing a decreasing temperature gradient in the mass subjected to crystallization, which includes the syrup and the germs.
- the invention also relates to other arrangements which are preferably used at the same time and which will be more explicitly discussed below.
- the single figure of the drawing schematically shows an installation according to the invention.
- glucose syrups from an acidic and / or enzymatic hydrolysis of starch are used, having a dry matter content of approximately 55 to 85% by weight, with glucose entering at least 60% and, preferably, for a proportion greater than 90% by weight, in the constitution of the syrup with dry raw materials.
- This concentrated syrup is conveyed to a vertical or inclined crystallization zone, which it runs continuously from top to bottom from a point located near its upper end and inside which it is subjected, in the presence of dextrose crystals playing the role of seeds of crystallization, to kneading and a globally decreasing temperature gradient from top to bottom.
- the temperature of the syrup is brought or maintained, at the time of its introduction into the crystallization zone, at a value chosen in the range from 30 to 70 ° C, preferably from 35 to 55 ° C and, in practice, close from 40 to 50 ° C.
- the temperature gradient established inside the crystallization zone within the mass subjected to crystallization corresponds to a decrease of 0.5 to 5 ° C, preferably from 2 to 4 ° C per linear meter of the area of crystallization and is such that at the exit from said zone, at a point located near the lower end thereof, the mass subjected to crystallization which includes the syrup, the crystals initially present and those formed by the phenomenon crystallization, is brought to a temperature within a range of 15 to 40 ° C, preferably 20 to 30 ° C.
- the fraction taken and recycled represents, by volume, from 10 to 40%, preferably from 25 to 35% of the volume of glucose syrup supplying the crystallization zone.
- the rate of supply of glucose syrup is chosen such that the average residence time, statistical or theoretical, of a given fraction of the mass subjected to crystallization inside the crystallization zone is from 10 to 40 hours, preferably 20 to 30 hours; the value adopted depends on the heat exchange capacities of the means comprised by the zone and with the help of which is established, inside said zone within the mass subjected to crystallization, the decreasing temperature gradient.
- the intermediate level at which the withdrawal of the fraction subjected to crystallization which is intended for recycling is carried out is preferably distant from the ends of the crystallization zone by at least a quarter of its total length and, in practice , of the order of at least two fifths of the total length of the said zone.
- the viscosity of the mass subjected to crystallization which increases as the proportion of dextrose monohydrate crystals increases, that is to say in the downward direction, means that the crystallization zone is preferably equipped with means of delivery or suction suitable for ensuring the movement of the mass inside the zone, gravity alone may be insufficient.
- the kneading and homogenization means comprised by the crystallization zone must be arranged in such a way that dead zones are avoided and that the heat exchange between the mass subjected to crystallization and the cooling means is generally of the type turbulent.
- the product extracted from the crystallization zone and which constitutes, as already indicated, a rich phase baked mass comprises dextrose monohydrate crystals of a particle size spectrum characterized by a small proportion of fine and large crystals and therefore by a strong proportion of crystals of intermediate size, this spectrum does not vary over time, whereby the following treatment step, which consists in separating these crystals from the liquid phase in which they are immersed, does not experience any disturbance.
- This separation comprises a turbination and possibly a clearing thanks to which the major part of the liquid phase is recovered; this forms hydrols whose dextrose concentration is lower than that of the starting glucose syrup - this concentration generally reaches 70 to 85% - and in which we find almost all of the di-, tri- and polysaccharides contained in the starting glucose syrup.
- the hydrols collected can be recycled.
- the XY axis is advantageously arranged vertically but can also be tilted.
- the heat exchange capacity of the temperature regulation system, the speed of rotation of the kneading means and the speed with which, under the influence of the suction means not shown, the mass subjected to crystallization traverses the enclosure, c that is to say the average duration of stay of a given fraction of this mass inside the enclosure, are chosen in such a way that is established, within the whole of the mass subjected to crystallization , the temperature gradient provided in accordance with the invention.
- the cooling fluid is water and that the mean temperature difference at a given point in the enclosure between this water and the mass subjected to crystallization, is of the order of 6 at 12 ° C.
- An installation according to the invention comprising a single cylindrical enclosure with a useful volume of 48 m 3 for a height of 8 meters.
- the syrup temperature at the entrance to the enclosure is around 50 ° C.
- a fraction of the mass during crystallization taken from a substantially median level of the enclosure is recycled, with a flow rate of 0.5 m 3 per hour.
- the average passage time inside the enclosure of a given fraction of the mass subjected to crystallization is approximately 25 hours.
- the rich phase baked clay extracted at the lower end of the enclosure is at a temperature in the region of 25 ° C, the temperature gradient decreasing overall from top to bottom therefore corresponding to approximately 3.2 ° C per meter .
- the glucose content of the hydrols recovered after separation of the dextrose monohydrate crystals is 84% on dry matter, the complement to 100 being constituted by the polysaccharides.
- the crystals collected after turbination and clearing have excellent physical and chemical properties.
- Example 1 The apparatus and the operating conditions of Example 1 are used.
- the recycled fraction is no longer taken at an intermediate level but at a point in the enclosure located in the last sixth of the total height.
