  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a device that is easily cleaned which is an indispensable condition as the device is used for heat treatment of biological material which is to be consumed by human beings and by animals.
  • the object of the device according to the invention is that it should be used for many purposes such as boiling and coagulating of the treated material by means of direct or for the evaporation of volatile substances, which are chemically or physically bonded to the material in question, by means of a direct heating.

There is thus no possibility for a treatment zone by zone of the material with a radially directed displacement of the same but the material is only vertically displaced along a helical path.
  • the material will not be loosened but instead be compressed.
  • the device presents the drawback that certain material to a great extent is stuck to the vanes such that the material is exposed to a long heat treatment, whereat the same may be decomposed.

  • FIG. 1 The embodiment described in the aforegoing according to FIG. 1 will in the following be described with respect to its way of operation at some different ranges of use but it is of course in no way limited thereto.
  • EXAMPLE 1 A fish material, which has been extracted in an extraction plant (not shown) with sec-butanol is, after a primary separation of the solvent by means of a centrifugation fed into the upper end of the container 1 by means of the horizontally arranged feeding screw 5.
  • the protein material which contains 45 percent dry substance, 40 percent water and percent solvent is humid but not dripping. Due to the fact that the container 1, which has a diameter of 300 millimeters and an effective height of 2.5 meters, is open about the center, it is readily filled with the material.
  • Direct steam is then introduced on the one hand through the conduit 3 to the mantle 2 for indirect heating of the container 1 and the material and on the other hand through the conduit 8, the distribution means 9 and the openings 10 to the interior of the container 1 for direct heating of the material.
  • the direct steam entered into the container 1 contacts the protein material a part of the steam will condense and at the same time the solvent present in the protein material will evaporate and be brought along by the remaining steam flow.
  • the upwards streaming mixture of so]- vent and steam will at optimal conditions, i.e., with correctly added steam quantity in relation to the quantity of solvent in the protein material, only after a short passage through the protein material, comprise the azeotropic mixture of solvent and water steam.
  • the shaft 13 mounted for rotation is started and is given such a rotation that the helical stirrers 14 arranged on the shaft 13 tend to lift the protein material fed to the container 1.
  • the stirring speed may then be varied but should not exceed 45 revolutions per minute.
  • the width of the stirrers is 30 millimeters and they are arranged at a distance of about say 5 millimeters from the inner surface of the container. Further, the pitch of the stirrers is 200 millimeters per revolution.
  • stirrers 14 Due to the fact that the stirrers 14 are not arranged such that they form a continuous path they will operate within a defined area or within a defined level. For the reason that they operate opposite to the movement direction of the material, there will further be obtained a lifting and thus also a loosening of the protein material within several defined levels and thereby that the protein material is lifted from the periphery and is moved inward and toward the center and returned towards the periphery there is prevented a channel formation in the material bed. For the reason that the area closest to the shaft is open, the material closest to the shaft is forced to participate in the horizontal, essentially radial displacement within the material.
  • the level sensors 16 indicate the highest point of the material bed such that when the highest point of the material bed reaches the lower level sensor 1611, the feeding screw 5 is started whereby new material is fed to the container.
  • the highest point of the material bed reaches the upper level sensor 16b, the feeding of protein material is stopped.
  • the humid fish protein freed from solvent contained only 80 p.p.m. solvent, which when the fish protein was dried gave a residual content of 35 p.p.m.
  • the fish protein obtained according to Examples 1 and 2 had a good quality and did not show any destruction, which is an indication of that an indulgent treatment is obtained at a solvent removal in the device according to the invention.
  • the device according to FIG. 1 was in the following example used as a boiler and biological material, such as fish, animal muscle tissue or cellulose material was heat treated by means of direct steam.
  • EXAMPLE 3 In this case fresh fish was fed in the same way as in Example 1 into the container 1 while direct steam was fed in counterflow to the material flow.
  • the shaft 13 arranged in the container 1 and provided with the stirrers 14 there is obtained a complete mixing and homogenization at every level such that a complete boiling of the material is obtained thereby that the steam is forced to pass through and brought to close contact with the material fed therein.
  • the continuity at the feeding and the discharge is obtained in the same way as in the Example l, and also in this case it is obtained, by means of the pressure and temperature indicators, a completion of the boiling before the material leaves the container 1 via the discharge screw 7.
  • Example 3 The material discharged from the container in the above Example 3 is completely boiled. There has been obtained by means of the boiling a complete denaturation of the protein of the fish such that the protein has been given a suitable form for further treatment such as extraction. The material obtained did not show any tendency for destruction.
  • the fish protein obtained in Examples 1 and 2 has by means of the heat treatment carried out been deodorized. Amines hard to condense have been removed from the material. There are of course other methods of deodorizing animal material. It is, e.g., suitable to use a mixture of ethanol and water in gaseous form for this deodorization.
  • EXAMPLE 4 In order to deodorize fish protein which contains amines that are hard to condensate, the material was inserted through the feeding screw 5 into the container 1 in the same way as in Example 1. However, instead of introducing only direct steam through the distributor 9, there was introduced a gaseous mixture of ethanol and water @575 For the rest, the material Q was treated in the same way as in Example 1. By means of the helical stirrers 14 arranged on the shaft 13, there is obtained at the rotation of the shaft, a complete mixing and homogenization at each level such that the introduced steam mixture of ethanol and water is brought to contact all the material and there is achieved a complete deodorization thereby that the amines having a bad smell are removed. The continuity of the feeding and the discharge is obtained in the same way as in Example I. By use of the device described there is obtained a fish protein free from smell as freed from amines of bad smell.
  • the devices described in the foregoing may operate also at negative pressure when a very heat-sensitive material is to be freed'from solvent or to be deodorized. Also a boiling may be carried out at a lower pressure and temperature but in such a case the temperature for a coagulation is to be maintained in case a coagulation is necessary for the continued treatment of the material.
