Abstract

Apparatus for electrostatically smoking liquid food media, containing a vertical cylindrical body, inside of which there is a conveyor having a traction cable, on which ball elements are fixed, fixed between each other by elastic pipes, product inlet and outlet pipes, and also smoke smoke, characterized in that an insulated plate with corona electrodes, sharp edges facing the conveyor, is placed on the inner surface of the housing in its middle part, while the smoke inlet pipe is connected to a closed casing encircling the cylindrical body at the location of the slotted holes therein, made at an angle and bounded on the inside of the cylindrical body by guides oriented in the direction of the zone of action of the corona electrodes.

Description

The invention relates to the food industry, and in particular to methods of smoking products and can be used in the food industry in the manufacture of original sauces with a flavor of smoke.

A known method of smoking chicken eggs in an electrostatic field and installation for its implementation [RF Patent No. 2309599 A23B 5/02, A23B 4/056, A23 1/32, publ. Bull. No. 31 10.11.2007], consisting of a smoking chamber with removable corona electrodes mounted on its side walls located on a metal plate and connected to insulators, equipped with an inlet pipe for supplying smoke into the chamber and an outlet pipe for exhausting smoke from the chamber

The disadvantage of this installation is the inability to work with liquid food media.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved effect is an evaporator with ascending and descending films [RF Patent No. 2200049 B01D 1/22, publ. Bull. No. 7 03/10/2003], consisting of a vertical housing with nozzles for input and output of the product, inside of which there is a traction cable.

The disadvantage of this installation is the inability to use it for electrostatic smoking of liquid food media.

An object of the invention is to obtain liquid food environments with the aroma of smoke and providing a highly efficient process for their electrostatic smoking.

The technical task of the invention is achieved by the fact that in the installation for electrostatic smoking of liquid products, consisting of a vertical cylindrical body, inside of which is a conveyor having a traction cable, on which ball elements are fixed, fixed between each other by elastic tubes, product inlet and outlet pipes, and smoke smoke new is that on the inner surface of the housing in its middle part there is an insulated plate with corona electrodes, sharp edges facing the convection nyeru, while the smoke inlet pipe is connected to a closed casing encircling the cylindrical body at the location of the slotted holes therein, made at an angle and bounded on the inside of the cylindrical body by guides oriented in the direction of the area of action of the corona electrodes

The technical result of the invention is to obtain original liquid food environments with the aroma of smoke and providing a highly efficient process for their electrostatic smoking.

Figure 1 shows a diagram of an installation for electrostatic smoking of liquid food media.

The apparatus for electrostatically smoking liquid food media contains a vertical cylindrical body 1, inside of which there is a conveyor 2 having a traction cable 3, on which ball elements 4 are fixed, fixed between each other by elastic tubes 5, product inlet and outlet pipes 6 and 7, as well as smoking smoke 8 and 9, respectively, whereby on the inner surface of the housing 1 in its middle part there is an insulated stove 10 with corona electrodes 11, while the smoke inlet 8 is connected to the closed casing 12, sylivaya cylindrical body 1 at the location of the slotted holes 13 and the guides 14, as well as a device for removing the product 15.

Apparatus for electrostatic smoking of liquid food media works as follows.

The operation of this apparatus is based on the principle of intensification of the smoking process using an electrostatic field (electro-smoking).

Smoke smoke is fed into the interelectrode space of the apparatus through a closed casing 12 encircling the cylindrical body 1 and the inlet pipe 8. At the same time, the initial product is supplied to the lower part of the apparatus through the pipe 6 to a level controlled by a sensor (not shown), ensuring complete immersion of each ball element 4.

Part of the initial product under the influence of surface tension forces is captured in the form of a thin film by spherical elements 4 and then transported to corona electrodes 11 connected to a high-voltage generator (not shown) providing a voltage in the range of 25-30 kV. Then the spherical elements fall into the field of the corona discharge, in the outer region of which there are positive ions that create a unipolar space charge in space. If smoke particles are located in the outer region of the corona discharge, which occupies the predominant part of the interelectrode space, then ions from the space charge, deposited on the surface of these particles, give them an excess electric charge, thus, the particles are charged. Then, under the action of electric field forces, charged particles move in a direction perpendicular to the flow and are deposited on the product.

As the stock solution moves, the product is saturated with smoke smoke components to the desired concentration. At the output, the product enters the discharge device 15. At the moment of movement of the ball elements 4 through the device 15, the product particles are removed from their surface.

Exhaust smoke is removed from the apparatus through the pipe 9.

The proposed apparatus for electrostatic smoking of liquid food media allows you to:

- increase the efficiency of the smoking process by ensuring a uniform film thickness on the surface of the ball elements and the simultaneous use of an electrostatic field;

- reduce the duration of the smoking process as a result of the double way of the ball element for one revolution of the traction cable;

- expand the range of products for the fast food network, by obtaining original liquid food products with the aroma of smoke;

- to provide a stable smell of aroma of smoke of the sauce for a long time, due to the deposition of smoke components as a result of their adsorption by the surface of solid inclusions entering the sauce and then penetrating by diffusion into their pores.
