OBJETO DE LA INVENCION La presente memoria descriptiva define un procedimiento y el equipamiento requerido para la obtención de la Proteina Hidrolizada y Decolorada de la Sangre P.H.D. a partir de la sangre de anímales de abastos. Para ello se realiza un tratamiento industrial integral de dicha sangre desde el punto de recogida y almacenamiento hasta la obtención de dicha proteína con unos niveles óptimos de calidad por medio de una serie de etapas que requieren de un número reducido de elementos y equipos que hacen que el presente procedimiento aumente la producción respecto de procesos existentes en la actualidad y permite a su vez que los costes de producción, sean mucho más bajos. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present specification defines a procedure and the equipment required to obtain the Hydrolyzed and Discolored Protein of the Blood P.H.D. from the blood of food animals. For this, an integral industrial treatment of said blood is carried out from the point of collection and storage until obtaining said protein with optimal levels of quality through a series of stages that require a small number of elements and equipment that make This procedure increases production compared to existing processes and allows the production costs to be much lower.
Esta invención tiene como objetivo ser aplicada dentro de la industria de tratamiento de elementos biológicos y en concreto en el sector industrial de equipamientos y tratamiento de la sangre procedente de centros de matanza de animales de abasto para su posterior aprovechamiento. This invention aims to be applied within the biological elements treatment industry and specifically in the industrial sector of equipment and treatment of blood from slaughter centers for supply animals for later use.
ANTECEDENTES Es conocido en el sector industrial relacionado con la utilización de sangre procedente de animales la problemática existente en los diferentes pasos de su tratamiento. Por ejemplo, se plantea la problemática de conseguir la estabilidad, esterilidad, y conservación de la sangre en el punto de recogida; en el tratamiento de la esterilidad cabe destacarse que la sangre es susceptible de ser contaminada con cierta rapidez, por lo que actualmente se precisa de productos estabilizantes que permitan proteger durante un tiempo sin determinar a dicha sangre frente a elementos contaminantes, principalmente durante el transporte y almacenamiento; o los inconvenientes relacionados con la decoloración, puesto que la pigmentación fuerte y persistente de la sangre hace que el producto final sea difícil de utilizar como aditivo y por tanto dificulta su comercialización. En este sentido, la presente invención define un procedimiento industrial que mejora los sistemas de tratamientos convencionales consistentes en un sistema de recogida en continuo de la sangre en el matadero, y la utilización de un reactor de hidrolización y un sistema de decantación, todo ello en condiciones de temperatura ambiental sin el empleo de frío ni de calor. BACKGROUND It is known in the industrial sector related to the use of blood from animals the problem existing in the different steps of its treatment. For example, the problem of achieving stability, sterility, and preservation of blood at the point of collection is raised; in the treatment of sterility it should be noted that the blood is susceptible to being contaminated with certain speed, so that stabilizing products are currently needed to protect for a while without determining said blood against contaminating elements, mainly during transport and storage; or the inconveniences related to the discoloration, since the strong and persistent pigmentation of the blood makes the final product difficult to use as an additive and therefore makes it difficult to commercialize. In this sense, the present invention defines an industrial process that improves conventional treatment systems consisting of a system of continuous collection of blood in the slaughterhouse, and the use of a hydrolyzing reactor and a settling system, all in ambient temperature conditions without the use of cold or heat.
Frente a estos sistemas cons'encionales se conocen oirás metodologías que mejoran dicho tratamiento, como lo definido en el registro ES8308478 que da a conocer un método de tratamiento de sangre y otros productos líquidos en el que la sangre es tratada con anticoagulante que retarda la coagulación, un compuesto de azufre y oxígeno, y un glúcido; o como lo que se define en el registro EÍS2154182 que da a conocer un procedimiento para la recuperación y la purificación de la sangre procedente de mataderos industriales, en especial de la globina, para lo que se utilizan procesos físico-químicos de extracción, precipitación y separación, en el que principalmente se destaca la adición de la disolución acuosa de hemoglobina sobre acetona de tal manera que se produce la precipitación de la globina. Se puede destacar que la presente invención se diferencia de esta tipología de tratamientos en que incorpora un tratamiento físico-quimico diferenciado y en que incorpora diferentes etapas de tratamiento en la recogida y recepción, separación, filtración, pasteurización, secado y molienda final para la obtención de la proteína P.H.D. en condiciones óptimas para una posterior utilización. In the face of these conventional systems, methodologies that improve said treatment will be heard, as defined in the ES8308478 registry that discloses a method of treatment of blood and other liquid products in which blood is treated with anticoagulant that slows coagulation , a compound of sulfur and oxygen, and a carbohydrate; or as defined in the EIS2154182 registry that discloses a procedure for the recovery and purification of blood from industrial slaughterhouses, especially globin, for which physical-chemical processes of extraction, precipitation and separation, which mainly highlights the addition of the aqueous solution of hemoglobin on acetone in such a way that precipitation of globin occurs. It should be noted that the present invention differs from this type of treatments in that it incorporates a differentiated physical-chemical treatment and in that it incorporates different stages of treatment in the collection and reception, separation, filtration, pasteurization, drying and final grinding for obtaining PHD protein under optimal conditions for later use.
También se destaca el registro ES2289937 que se diferencia de los procedimientos previamente definidos y que incorpora etapas de tratamiento de la sangre desde ta recogida hasta el secado final, pero que se basa en la separación de la sangre tanto en hemoglobina como en plasma, y tras la separación de la sangre requiere de al menos un reactor para el plasma, y de otro reactor para el tratamiento de la hemoglobina, es decir, de un mínimo de dos reactores, y además se basa en un tratamiento posterior diferenciado hasta ia obtención de la proteína P.H.D., siendo en todos los casos reactores abiertos. La presente invención se diferencia de dicha metodología en que no requiere de la separación de ia sangre, no requiere de diferentes reactores abiertos, sino que necesita de un único reactor principal cerrado y hermético, y por tanto el resto de pasos del procedimiento difieren de la metodología definida en ese registro anterior, como por ejemplo en ios procesos de filtrado, hidrolización, decoloración y deshidratación; y la presente invención incorpora una automatización en todos ios pasos del procedimiento. Además cabe destacarse que ia metodología del registro £$2289937 tiene la problemática de que debido a la elevada cantidad de equipos reactores hace que el coste que se requiere para realizar un lote sea muy elevado dado que son muchas las horas necesarias, en concreto, para completar un lote desde que se carga hasta que finaliza el mismo, deben transcurrir un total de unas 30 horas, un tiempo excesivo que le resta rentabilidad. La presente invención reduce el número de equipos y reactores necesarios, con lo que se reduce el coste de inversión, al igual que se reduce el tiempo necesario para la obtención de un lote de producto, para el cual se requiere de menos de la mitad del tiempo del previo antecedente. It also highlights the ES2289937 record that differs from the previously defined procedures and that incorporates blood treatment stages from the collection to the final drying, but that is based on the separation of blood in both hemoglobin and plasma, and after the separation of blood requires at least one reactor for plasma, and another reactor for the treatment of hemoglobin, that is, a minimum of two reactors, and also is based on a differential treatment after obtaining the PHD protein, in all cases being open reactors. The present invention differs from said methodology in that it does not require the separation of the blood, does not require different open reactors, but requires a single closed and sealed main reactor, and therefore the rest of the process steps differ from the methodology defined in that previous record, such as in the processes of filtering, hydrolyzing, discoloration and dehydration; and the present invention incorporates automation in all steps of the process. In addition, it should be noted that the registration methodology £ 2289937 has the problem that due to the high amount of reactor equipment, the cost required to carry out a lot is very high given that there are many hours needed, in particular, to complete A lot from when it is loaded until the end of it, a total of about 30 hours must pass, an excessive time that reduces profitability. The present invention reduces the number of necessary equipment and reactors, thereby reducing the investment cost, as well as reducing the time required to obtain a batch of product, for which less than half of the amount is required. time of the previous history.
Es por todo ello que se considera que la presente invención, que a continuación se describe de manera detallada, constituye una solución innovadora que se diferencia de tos equipos y pasos de cualquier tipo de metodología de tratamiento de sangre de animales hasta la fecha conocido y presenta una solución con la se obtiene la proteína P.H.D. con unos resultados óptimos para su posterior utilización, hay un aumento de la producción considerablemente al reducir los tiempos de proceso, los costes de producción son mucho más bajos, se reduce la inversión económica necesaria en maquinaria y las correspondientes amortizaciones, se reducen los riesgos de contaminación al pasar por un circuito cerrado y hermético; se reduce la contaminación ambiental hidrica a nivel de los mataderos ai darle un aprovechamiento a la sangre que ahora no tiene; se consigue una materia prima de alto poder nutritivo y de alta digestibilidad tanto para las personas como para los animales; y se reduce el consumo de agua para el proceso, lo cual es una sensible mejora desde un punto de vista medio ambiental.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención define un procedimiento para la obtención de la proteína P.H.D. a partir de la sangre de animales de abasto, el cual es un procedimiento automatizado y que se compone de las etapas que se definen a continuación. Previo a la definición del procedimiento, se expone que la presente invención define unas etapas que requieren de unos equipos especiales que pueden ser ubicados en cualquier localización. Es decir, estos equipos para el desarrollo del procedimiento pueden ser ubicados en la misma planta industrial o matadero, o bien pueden ser ubicados de una manera centralizada en un punto o ubicación que requiera del transporte de la sangre por camiones cisterna o bombeo a distancia por conducciones. En todo caso, la sangre de los animales que va a ser tratada requiere ser estabilizada con reaclivos convencionales. The present invention defines a process for obtaining the P.H.D. from the blood of supply animals, which is an automated procedure and is composed of the stages defined below. Prior to the definition of the procedure, it is stated that the present invention defines stages that require special equipment that can be located in any location. That is, these equipment for the development of the procedure can be located in the same industrial plant or slaughterhouse, or they can be located in a centralized way at a point or location that requires the transport of blood by tank trucks or remote pumping by conductions In any case, the blood of the animals to be treated needs to be stabilized with conventional reagents.
Adicionalmente cabe destacar que el procedimiento está automatizado, para lo cual todo es controlado por un programa que gestiona la planta de producción, y que tiene una serie de parámetros prefijados para el correcto funcionamiento del procedimiento. En este sentido hay que tener en cuenta que el programa regula la entrada o adición en el reactor de la cantidad de sangre estabilizada procedente del matadero; agua, cuya cantidad es proporcional a la entrada de la sangre; ácido clorhídrico diluido; hidróxido sódico; y peróxido de hidrógeno o agua oxigenada; al igual que existen en el reactor detectores del contenido de oxígeno libre, sulfito y pH. En este punto se vuelve a hacer hincapié en que el reactor es cerrado y hermético, lo cual es novedoso en cualquier tipología de tratamiento de la sangre. Additionally, it should be noted that the procedure is automated, for which everything is controlled by a program that manages the production plant, and that it has a set of pre-set parameters for the correct operation of the procedure. In this regard, it must be taken into account that the program regulates the entry or addition into the reactor of the amount of stabilized blood from the slaughterhouse; water, the amount of which is proportional to the entry of blood; dilute hydrochloric acid; sodium hydroxide; and hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen peroxide; just as there are detectors in the reactor for free oxygen, sulphite and pH content. At this point it is emphasized that the reactor is closed and hermetic, which is new in any type of blood treatment.
Una vez la sangre es estabilizada y está lista para ser tratada, el resto de etapas que se requieren para la obtención de la proteína P.H.D. son las siguientes: - Almacenamiento en un depósito inicial de la sangre obtenida en la planta industrial o matadero de animales. Once the blood is stabilized and ready to be treated, the rest of the stages required to obtain the P.H.D. They are as follows: - Storage in an initial deposit of blood obtained in the industrial plant or slaughterhouse of animals.
- Se carga en el reactor una cantidad fijada de sangre estabilizada desde el depósito inicial. Este reactor tiene la particularidad de estar cerrado y ser hermético. La carga del reactor desde el depósito inicial se realiza por una tubería de conexión con una bomba peristáltica. La entrada de sangre en el reactor por la acción de la bomba peristáltica es lenta, de tal manera que el líquido desliza sobre las paredes verticales para evitar que se forme espuma o bien que la bomba entregue la sangre en la parte baja de la virola junto con válvula ami retorno. - Finalizada la incorporación de la cantidad de sangre estabilizada con el reactivo desde el matadero, se procede a añadir en el reactor la misma cantidad de agua, usando el mismo sistema que para la sangre, es decir, desliza por las paredes verticales del reactor para evitar la formación de espuma o por la parte baja del reactor. - Finalizada la incorporación de la misma cantidad de agua y de sangre en el reactor, las palas de agitación del reactor se accionan y comienza la agitación de la mezcla a baja potencia y velocidad lenta, 15 Hz como máximo, para conseguir una uniformidad del líquido sin la formación de espuma. En este punto se destaca que lo importante de la mezcla de la sangre y el agua es que no se formen espumas, siendo realmente indiferente que se introduzca antes el agua que la sangre, o viceversa. Lo importante es que no es preciso separar previamente la sangre en hemoglobina y plasma, sino que en el propio reactor el agua diluye la membrana de la hemoglobina y se libera el proloplasma. - A fixed amount of stabilized blood is loaded into the reactor from the initial reservoir. This reactor has the peculiarity of being closed and being airtight. The reactor is loaded from the initial tank by a connection pipe with a peristaltic pump. The entry of blood into the reactor by the action of the peristaltic pump is slow, so that the liquid slides on the vertical walls to prevent foaming or that the pump delivers the blood in the lower part of the ferrule together With ami return valve. - After the incorporation of the amount of blood stabilized with the reagent from the slaughterhouse, the same amount of water is added to the reactor, using the same system as for the blood, that is, it slides through the vertical walls of the reactor to avoid foaming or down the reactor. - After the incorporation of the same amount of water and blood into the reactor, the stirring blades of the reactor are activated and stirring of the mixture begins at low power and slow speed, 15 Hz maximum, to achieve a uniformity of the liquid Without foaming. At this point it is emphasized that the important thing about the mixture of blood and water is that foams are not formed, being really indifferent that water is introduced before blood, or vice versa. The important thing is that it is not necessary to previously separate the blood into hemoglobin and plasma, but in the reactor itself the water dilutes the hemoglobin membrane and the proloplasm is released.
- Sin detener el movimiento de las palas de agitación, una bomba de adición de ácido clorhidrico diluido adiciona dicho ácido hasta llegar a un punto de pH ácido en el que se coagula toda la masa, momento en el que automáticamente se detiene la adición de ácido clorhidrico pero continua la agitación. - Without stopping the movement of the stirring blades, a dilute hydrochloric acid addition pump adds said acid until it reaches an acidic pH point at which the entire mass coagulates, at which point the acid addition automatically stops hydrochloric but stirring continues.
- Siguen funcionando las palas de agitación y, entonces, una bomba de adición de hidróxido sódico, lentamente comienza a incorporar este álcali hasta conseguir un pH menos ácido que corresponde al momento en que la masa coagulada pierde su alta viscosidad para pasar a un estado liquido. - The stirring blades continue to work and, then, a sodium hydroxide addition pump, slowly begins to incorporate this alkali until a less acidic pH is obtained that corresponds to the moment when the coagulated mass loses its high viscosity to move to a liquid state .
- Una vez alcanzado este nivel de pIL se detiene el movimiento de las palas de agitación durante un corto periodo para cerciorarse de que dicho valor de pH permanece estable y no tiene alteraciones que desestabilicen la concentración de hidrogeniones. La medición de pH se realiza mediante un medidor de pH que llega hasta el fondo, que es donde se encuentra la mezcla. - Once this level of pIL is reached, the movement of the stirring blades is stopped for a short period to ensure that said pH value remains stable and does not have alterations that destabilize the concentration of hydrogenions The pH measurement is performed using a pH meter that reaches the bottom, which is where the mixture is located.
- Comprobado la estabilidad de la masa, una bomba de aplicación de peróxido de hidrógeno o agua oxigenada, adiciona este componente sobre la parte superior de la masa de los reactores para que comience con su trabajo de decoloración. Esta adición se lleva a cabo con las palas de agitación detenidas. - Proven mass stability, a hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen peroxide application pump, adds this component to the top of the reactor mass so that it begins with its bleaching work. This addition is carried out with the stirring blades stopped.
- Transcurrido un tiempo prolongado contado a partir de la primera adición de agua oxigenada, se vuelve a incorporar con el mismo sistema y metodología la misma cantidad de agua oxigenada. De esta manera se mantiene la instalación en fase de espera y en la que únicamente se puede observar la acción oxidativa del oxígeno sobre la hemoglobina de la sangre y la variación del pH del contenido del reactor, todo ello monitorízado por los detectores del reactor. - After a long time counted from the first addition of hydrogen peroxide, the same amount of hydrogen peroxide is incorporated again with the same system and methodology. In this way, the standby installation is maintained and in which only the oxidative action of oxygen on the blood hemoglobin and the variation of the pH of the reactor content can be observed, all monitored by the reactor detectors.
• Transcurridas unas horas desde que se inicia la oxidación, y a la vista de los datos indicados en los detectores, se realizan una serie de cálculos para llevar a cabo las modificaciones precisas para lograr la máxima efectividad en la decoloración y para ello se modifica el pll con la adición de ácido clorhídrico y/ó agua oxigenada, para crear las condiciones óptimas de trabajo. • After a few hours after oxidation begins, and in view of the data indicated in the detectors, a series of calculations are carried out to carry out the precise modifications to achieve maximum effectiveness in the discoloration and for this purpose the pll is modified with the addition of hydrochloric acid and / or hydrogen peroxide, to create the optimal working conditions.
- Una vez el tiempo pasa, el pH se neutraliza. Para conseguir la neutralización, el equipo adiciona dichos componentes y pone en marcha y detiene las palas de agitación solo para estabilizar e ir neutralizando la mezcla cuantas veces sea necesario, hasta que llega el momento que el pH se estabiliza en el punto en que se le ha dejado después de la última neutralización. A su vez, la mezcla se neutraliza poco a poco porque cada vez que se sube el valor pH se pone en funcionamiento la labor del oxigeno, hasta que llega a un valor de pH del entorno del 7. - Once time passes, the pH is neutralized. To achieve neutralization, the equipment adds these components and starts and stops the stirring blades only to stabilize and neutralize the mixture as many times as necessary, until the time comes that the pH stabilizes at the point where it is has left after the last neutralization. In turn, the mixture is gradually neutralized because each time the pH value is raised, the work of the oxygen is put into operation, until it reaches a pH value of around 7.
- Λ continuación, se pone en funcionamiento un molino coloidal, cuya función es hacer más pequeño el coloide para que el oxigeno trabaje más y el proceso de neutralización se afiance y para que no se produzcan grumos. El proceso de accionamiento del molino coloidal es tal que se abre la boca de descarga del reactor y arranca una bomba mono que extrae producto del reactor, lo ingresa en la boca de entrada del molino coloidal, el molino coloidal actúa sobre la mezcla, y éste lo conduce de nuevo por medio de conducciones al interior del reactor generándose un circuito cerrado. - Λ Then, a colloid mill is put into operation, whose function is to make the colloid smaller so that the oxygen works harder and the neutralization process is secured and so that lumps are not produced. The process of driving the colloid mill is such that the discharge port of the reactor is opened and a mono pump that extracts product from the reactor starts, enters it into the entrance of the colloid mill, the colloid mill acts on the mixture, and it conducts it again through conduits to the interior of the reactor generating a closed circuit.
Al cabo de unos minutos de estar rccirculando la mezcla, el sistema calcula los valores de pH en el reactor y adiciona hidróxido sódico para corregir la acidez que pueda tener el producto. After a few minutes of circulating the mixture, the system calculates the pH values in the reactor and adds sodium hydroxide to correct the acidity that the product may have.
Cuando se considera que el contenido del reactor es una masa de color amarillento, de aspecto micronizado, se abre una válvula by pass para que el producto sea conducido hacia un depósito pulmón que tiene en funcionamiento las palas de agitación. De igual modo, cuando el reactor queda vacío, se procede a arrastrar los restos de producto, que se recuperan junto con los de las tuberías y el molino coloidal, y son conducidos hacia el depósito pulmón para que la totalidad de la mezcla esté en dicho depósito pulmón. When the content of the reactor is considered to be a yellowish-colored mass of micronized appearance, a bypass valve is opened so that the product is led to a lung reservoir that has stirring blades in operation. Similarly, when the reactor is empty, the product remains, which are recovered along with those of the pipes and the colloid mill, are dragged, and are led to the lung tank so that the entire mixture is in said lung deposit
Posteriormente al vaciado se detiene el agitador del reactor, mientras la bomba y el molino coloidal quedan en funcionamiento. Con una manguera de agua de red se lava interiormente el reactor, por lo que en una misma operación, se lleva a cabo el arrastre de todas las partículas hídrolízadas hasta el depósito pulmón. Seguidamente se cierra la boca de descarga del reactor, para que posteriormente se lave el interior del reactor a presión para eliminar cualquier resto que de materia sólida que haya podido quedar adherida a las paredes. Las aguas de lavado, junto con otras resultantes del proceso, son conducidas hacia un depósito de almacenaje para someterlas a una acción de recuperación hidrica. Finalizada la operación de limpieza, un activador neumático cierra la boca de descarga del reactor con lo que se da por finalizado la fase de hidrólisis y decoloración, pudiendo volver a iniciarse sucesivamente de nuevo las etapas anteriores para cargar otro nuevo reactor con nueva materia prima o sangre estabilizada procedente del matadero industrial de animales de abasto. After the emptying, the reactor agitator is stopped, while the pump and the colloid mill remain in operation. With a network water hose, the reactor is washed internally, so that in a single operation, the drag of all the hydrolyzed particles to the lung tank is carried out. Then the reactor discharge mouth is closed, so that later the interior of the reactor is washed under pressure to remove any remaining solid matter that may have adhered to the walls. The washing waters, together with others resulting from the process, are taken to a storage tank to be subjected to a water recovery action. Once the cleaning operation is finished, a pneumatic activator closes the discharge mouth of the reactor, which ends the hydrolysis and discoloration phase, and the previous steps can be started again to load another new reactor with new raw material or stabilized blood from the industrial slaughterhouse of supply animals.
Una vez que la sangre ha sido sometida a la fase de hidrólisis y decoloración, el producto resultante en forma de una suspensión de sólido y líquido, que se encuentra en el depósito pulmón agitándose, se sigue tratando dado que aún se debe oxidar el posible bisulfito que quede en la sangre. - Cuando el producto está estabilizado, el depósito pulmón transmite una señal y se ponen en marcha los siguientes pasos: Once the blood has been subjected to the hydrolysis and decolorization phase, the resulting product in the form of a suspension of solid and liquid, which is in the lung tank agitating, is still treated since the possible bisulfite must still be oxidized That remains in the blood. - When the product is stabilized, the lung reservoir transmits a signal and the following steps are started:
* primero se carga una bomba centrífuga filtrante a baja velocidad para que el sólido quede retenido mientras el agua es expulsada. El nivel máximo de sólidos retenidos en el cesto de la bomba filtrante centrífuga lo decide un medidor de espesor y cuando se ha logrado la máxima cantidad de torta, dicha bomba deja de inyectar hidrolizado, y acto seguido, se inyecta agua de red para el lavado. Se sigue con la introducción de agua de red para extraer y lavar el contenido hasta que el detector de sales indica que se ha logrado eliminar dichas sales. En ese momento se detiene la entrada del agua de lavado y se acelera automáticamente la bomba centrífuga filtrante hasta que deje de expulsar agua; * First, a low-speed centrifugal filter pump is loaded so that the solid is retained while the water is expelled. The maximum level of solids retained in the basket of the centrifugal filter pump is decided by a thickness gauge and when the maximum amount of cake has been achieved, said pump stops injecting hydrolyzate, and then, water is injected for washing network . The introduction of mains water is continued to extract and wash the contents until the salt detector indicates that these salts have been eliminated. At that time the inlet of the wash water is stopped and the filter centrifugal pump is automatically accelerated until it stops expelling water;
* seguidamente descienden las revoluciones de la bomba filtrante centrífuga hasta el nivel de descarga y, entonces, desciende una cuchilla hidráulica en el interior del cesto para desprender el producto o torta compacta, la cual cae en una tolva que está situada en la parte inferior de la bomba filtrante centrifuga; y * Then the revolutions of the centrifugal filter pump descend to the discharge level and, then, a hydraulic blade descends inside the basket to release the product or compact cake, which falls into a hopper that is located at the bottom of the centrifugal filter pump; Y
* finalmente, un sinfín de extracción recoge la torta escurrida y la traslada a una tolva diseñada para alimentar al secadero. * Finally, endless extraction collects the drained cake and moves it to a hopper designed to feed the dryer.
- El secadero recibe la torta húmeda, la cual se deshidrata de una manera regular y continua. - The dryer receives the wet cake, which is dehydrated in a regular and continuous way.
- Iniciado este proceso de secado y tras comprobar que la humedad del producto fina! es adecuada, 6% · 7% humedad como máximo, y el que la temperatura no sobrepasa de los 40*C, el producto se envía a una tolva de alimentación del molino de micronizado en donde se somete a la molfuración y enfriado. - Started this drying process and after checking that the moisture of the fine product! It is adequate, 6% · 7% humidity maximum, and that the temperature does not exceed 40 * C, the product is sent to a feed hopper of the micronized mill where it is subjected to molding and cooling.
- El producto o el P.H.D. deshidratado y molturado es recogido a la salida de un ciclón neumático y allí se envasa en condiciones que garanticen su perfecta conservación en envases adecuados. - The product or the P.H.D. Dehydrated and ground is collected at the exit of a pneumatic cyclone and there it is packaged under conditions that guarantee its perfect preservation in suitable containers.

El equipamiento especial y novedoso requerido para el desarrollo de la metodología previamente descrita, y que en ciertos puntos ya ha sido adelantado, es: The special and innovative equipment required for the development of the methodology previously described, and that at certain points has already been advanced, is:
1 Un reactor especial. 1 A special reactor.
Es un reactor cerrado y hermético, para el control del oxígeno y el resto de variables, preferentemente fabricado de acero. La capacidad es de al menos cuatro veces el volumen de sangre a tratar. It is a closed and hermetic reactor, for the control of oxygen and the rest of the variables, preferably made of steel. The capacity is at least four times the volume of blood to be treated.
Dicho reactor dispone de una boca de entrada con cierre, un agitador de tipo áncora en el fondo con extremos prolongados hacia arriba y palas inclinadas perpendiculares al eje y repartidas en su altura. El motor reductor dispone de un varíador de frecuencia para la regulación de potencia, preferentemente de 30 r.p.m. y unos 5 CV cada 1.000 1 de sangre. El eje tiene un diámetro preferentemente de entre 70mm y 100 mm. Said reactor has an inlet mouth with closure, an anchor-type stirrer at the bottom with extended ends upwards and inclined blades perpendicular to the axis and distributed in its height. The reduction motor has a frequency regulator for power regulation, preferably 30 rpm. and about 5 hp per 1,000 1 of blood. The shaft has a diameter preferably between 70mm and 100mm.
Por otro lado, en la tapa superior, dado que el reactor es cerrado, dispone de un medidor de PII o pHmetro, una boquilla para la entrada de ácido, una boquilla para la entrada de álcali y una boquilla para la incorporación de agua oxigenada. On the other hand, in the top cover, since the reactor is closed, it has a PII or pH meter, a nozzle for the entry of acid, a nozzle for the entry of alkali and a nozzle for the incorporation of hydrogen peroxide.
En la parte inferior dispone de una boca de entrada para la carga de sangre con válvula anti retorno, una mirilla en la virola para ver estado del producto en reacción, una boca de entrada en parte alta de la virola con curva y tubo de descarga del molino coloidal en la parte interior de la masa en reacción. Además dispone de una boca de descarga inferior, una bomba tipo mono, y a continuación de esta bomba un by pass para que el producto vaya hacia el molino coloidal o hacia el depósito pulmón que recibe, mantiene o alimenta a la bomba centrífuga fíltrame. In the lower part there is an inlet for the blood load with a non-return valve, a sight glass in the ferrule to see the state of the product in reaction, an inlet in the upper part of the ferrule with a curve and a tube of discharge of the colloidal mill inside the reaction mass. It also has a lower discharge port, a mono-type pump, and following this pump a bypass so that the product goes to the colloid mill or to the lung tank that receives, maintains or feeds the centrifugal pump, filter me.
2. - Un molino coloidal regulable 2. - An adjustable colloidal mill
Como se ha comentado en el desarrollo de la metodología, la fase de neutralización de la mezcla deshace la masa de sangre y, el resultado final* es un producto manipulable, de un color negruzco con partículas groseras. Este producto y su granulomctría, una vez regulado el pH crítico de precipitación, se le adiciona el agua oxigenada para su decoloración, y se puede observar como hay muchas partículas finas blanqueadas mientras que las más groseras destacan por un color oscuro que es costoso de perder. As mentioned in the development of the methodology, the neutralization phase of the mixture undoes the blood mass and, the final result * is a manipulable product, of a blackish color with coarse particles. This product and its particle size, once the critical precipitation pH is regulated, hydrogen peroxide is added for discoloration, and you can see how there are many fine bleached particles while the thickest ones stand out for a dark color that is expensive to lose .
Cara a solucionar este problema se utiliza un molino coloidal con fresas metálicas ubicadas a una separación controlada, el cual recibe el producto extraído del reactor a presión. Como consecuencia de la fricción entre las fresas, este molino reduce las partículas a un tamaño de partícula inferior a 200 μ. In order to solve this problem, a colloid mill with metal mills located at a controlled separation is used, which receives the product extracted from the pressure reactor. As a consequence of the friction between the strawberries, this mill reduces the particles to a particle size of less than 200 μ.
En el circuito cerrado generado de reactor a molino y a reactor de nuevo, al cabo de poco tiempo, todo el género está homogeneizado a un tamaño mínimo de partícula que el agua oxigenada oxida y decolora totalmente con suma facilidad. In the closed circuit generated from reactor to mill and to reactor again, after a short time, the whole genus is homogenized to a minimum particle size that the hydrogen peroxide oxidizes and discolors completely with great ease.
El producto final es de aspecto amarillento en polvo impalpable, y es denominado como Proteína Hidrolizada Decolorada P.H.D. The final product is yellowish in an impalpable powder, and is referred to as P.H.D.
3. - Un depósito pulmón. 3. - A lung deposit.
Otro equipo que facilita la aceleración del proceso de fabricación es la instalación de un depósito pulmón que, provisto de unas palas de agitación de bajas revoluciones, que permite mantener una perfecta suspensión del producto hidrolizado y decolorado, así como posibles correcciones de pH. Este depósito dispone de una bomba tipo mono con un variador de frecuencia, que regula el caudal de alimentación ideal a la bomba centrífuga filtrante. De esta manera, mientras se realiza la operación de filtrado y deshidratado de la mezcla se puede iniciar ia producción de un nuevo lote en el reactor de hidrólisis y oxidación al haber quedado vacío y limpio. Con ello es posible obtener una mayor producción y se consigue un menor coste por kg de producto final comercial obtenido. Another equipment that facilitates the acceleration of the manufacturing process is the installation of a lung reservoir that, provided with low speed stirring blades, which allows to maintain a perfect suspension of the hydrolyzed and discolored product, as well as possible pH corrections. This tank has a mono type pump with a frequency inverter, which regulates the ideal feed flow to the centrifugal filter pump. In this way, while the filtering and dehydrating operation of the mixture is being carried out, the production of a new batch in the hydrolysis and oxidation reactor can be started having been empty and clean. With this it is possible to obtain a greater production and a lower cost per kg of commercial final product obtained is achieved.
4.- Control informático del proceso. 4.- Computer control of the process.
Todo el equipamiento está controlado y monilorizado por un control informático, cuyo control principal se centra en el reactor. All equipment is controlled and monitored by a computer control, whose main control is centered on the reactor.
Se dispone de una serie de equipos de control que valoran los datos que se van produciendo, y los transmiten a 4/20 mV al centro informático que controla el proceso de fabricación. A series of control equipment is available that assess the data that is produced, and transmit it at 4/20 mV to the computer center that controls the manufacturing process.
Se dispone de diferentes células de carga, las cuales se utilizan para controlar la cantidad de ingredientes que se introducen en el reactor para iniciar el proceso de transformación. Different load cells are available, which are used to control the amount of ingredients that are introduced into the reactor to start the transformation process.
Se dispone también de un electrodo medidor de pH que se encuentra sumergido en la masa liquida del reactor, y envía los datos obtenidos de pH y temperatura existentes a! transmisor del equipo que ios muestra en una pantalla de control. It also has a pH measuring electrode that is submerged in the liquid mass of the reactor, and sends the data obtained from existing pH and temperature to! transmitter of the equipment that ios shows on a control screen.
Hay también un analizador de oxígeno, que es otro electrodo que mide continuamente la cantidad de oxígeno libre que se halla disperso en la masa líquida y los datos medidos, al igual que en el caso del medidor de pH, los envía al transmisor que ios muestra en la pantalla de control. There is also an oxygen analyzer, which is another electrode that continuously measures the amount of free oxygen that is dispersed in the liquid mass and the measured data, as in the case of the pH meter, sends them to the transmitter that ios shows on the control screen.
Se dispone de un detector de sulfiles, el cual está continuamente indicando como el contenido de los mismos va descendiendo a medida que van transcurriendo las horas de reacción. A sulfyl detector is available, which is continually indicating how their content decreases as the reaction hours go by.
Adicionalmente hay un control del agua expulsada por la bomba centrífuga filtrante, que consiste en una sonda que transmite valores en micro Siemens del contenido en sales que tiene el agua resultante de la fase de lavado, para que el lavado de la torta sea con el agua pura. En el depósito pulmón se disponen de unas células de carga y un medidor adicional de pH. Additionally, there is a control of the water expelled by the centrifugal filter pump, which consists of a probe that transmits values in micro Siemens of the salt content of the water resulting from the washing phase, so that the washing of the cake is with the water pure. Load cells and an additional pH meter are available in the lung reservoir.
Finalmente se dispone de un programa informático o software, el cual se introduce en el disco duro del ordenador que controla la planta de producción, y que tiene una serie de parámetros que pueden ser variados por la persona autorizada a acceder a ellos como son la cantidad de sangre a cargar en un reactor, la cantidad de agua a adicionar proporcionalmente a la sangre entrada o la cantidad de agua oxigenada a adicionar Finally, there is a computer program or software, which is introduced into the hard disk of the computer that controls the production plant, and that has a series of parameters that can be varied by the person authorized to access them, such as the quantity of blood to be loaded into a reactor, the amount of water to be added proportionally to the incoming blood or the amount of hydrogen peroxide to be added
Por último, y desde un punto del punto de vista medio ambiental, conviene destacar el consumo de agua empleada durante el procedimiento. En concreto* se puede decir que se emplea agua de red que es tanto mezclada con la propia sangre estabilizada procedente del matadero como con los diferentes reactivos previamente descritos en las diferentes etapas del procedimiento. Iniciatmente se incluye agua en el reactor, se produce la hidrólisis, posteriormente la decoloración, se llega a la fase coloidal de recirculación y de estabilización del pH, para un posterior trasiego y lavado y filtrado. En este momento se produce por un lado la deshidratación, micronizado y envasado, mientras que por otro lado se producen aguas residuales tras el filtrado y lavado, siendo dichas aguas residuales pasadas a través de una columna de carbón activo y una planta de osmosis, produciéndose salmuera por un lado, y el agua es llevada a un evaporador con ta que se produce agua evaporada pero también se obtiene agua reutiiizable de nuevo en todo el proceso. Λ modo de ejemplo, de un matadero que recoja unos 5.000 l/dia de sangre requiere de 5.000 1 de agua para la reacción; unos 250 1 de agua para diluir ácidos; 250 1 de gua para diluir álcalis; 250 1 de agua para diluir el agua oxigenada; y unos 7.000 1 de agua para lavado de P.H.D; siendo un total de unos 12.750 1. A ellos hay que sumar unos 4.000 1 de agua aportada por la sangre y unos 950 1 de agua a evaporar en el secado, que hace un total de agua que llega a la depuradora de 16.750 1. El contenido en sales en estos 16.750 1 de agua a depurar tiene unos 190 kgs de cloruro sódico y 90 kgs de sulfato sódico, es decir, un total de sales sódicas de 280 kgs. Estos 16.750 I de agua a depurar tratados en una planta de ósmosis inversa producen agua hasta que las salmueras rechazadas tengan una concentración de 35 grs/1, lo que equivale a recuperar diariamente como agua pura, osmotizada, sin sales ni otros residuos, unos 8.750 1 para incorporar a la cabecera de la planta. El resto, 8.000 I que contienen una concentración de 35 grs/l se pueden deshidratar y recuperar el agua si es preciso y se consiguen 280 kgs de sales sódicas que, deshidratadas, se pueden comprimir en bloques para poner a disposición en ganaderías extensivas de rumiantes. Tras este análisis, se puede ver que este procedimiento es muy favorable desde un punto de visto medio ambiental. Finally, and from an environmental point of view, it is worth noting the consumption of water used during the procedure. Specifically * it can be said that network water is used which is mixed with the stabilized blood itself from the slaughterhouse and with the different reagents previously described in the different stages of the procedure. Water is initially included in the reactor, hydrolysis occurs, then the discoloration, the colloidal phase of recirculation and pH stabilization is reached, for subsequent transfer and washing and filtering. At this time, dehydration, micronizing and packaging occur on the one hand, while on the other hand wastewater is produced after filtration and washing, said wastewater being passed through an active carbon column and an osmosis plant, producing brine on one side, and the water is taken to an evaporator with evaporated water being produced but reusable water is also obtained again throughout the process. Λ as an example, a slaughterhouse that collects about 5,000 l / day of blood requires 5,000 1 of water for the reaction; about 250 1 of water to dilute acids; 250 1 of gua to dilute alkalis; 250 1 of water to dilute the hydrogen peroxide; and about 7,000 1 of water for PHD washing; being a total of about 12,750 1. To them it is necessary to add about 4,000 1 of water contributed by the blood and about 950 1 of water to evaporate in the drying, that makes a total of water that arrives at the treatment plant of 16,750 1. The Salt content in these 16,750 1 of water to be purified has about 190 kg of sodium chloride and 90 kg of sodium sulfate, that is, a total of 280 kg of sodium salts. These 16,750 I of water to be treated treated in a reverse osmosis plant produce water until the rejected brines have a concentration of 35 grs / 1, which is equivalent to recovering daily as pure, osmotized water, without salts or other residues, 8,750 1 to incorporate to the head of the plant. The rest, 8,000 I containing a concentration of 35 grs / l can be dehydrated and recover the water if necessary and 280 kg of sodium salts are obtained which, dehydrated, can be compressed into blocks to be made available in extensive ruminant livestock . After this analysis, it can be seen that this procedure is very favorable from an environmental point of view.

En la Figura 1 se puede observar la representación de los diferentes equipos con los que se permite desarrollar los diferentes pasos, etapas y fases del procedimiento objeto de la invención. En concreto, y siguiendo las etapas de la descripción, se puede observar que: - Se almacena en el depósito inicial (1) la sangre estabilizada (S) obtenida en la planta industrial o matadero de animales. Figure 1 shows the representation of the different equipment with which it is possible to develop the different steps, stages and phases of the process object of the invention. Specifically, and following the steps of the description, it can be observed that: - Stabilized blood (S) obtained in the industrial plant or slaughterhouse of animals is stored in the initial tank (1).
- Se carga en el reactor (3) la cantidad de sangre estabilizada (S) del depósito inicial- The amount of stabilized blood (S) from the initial reservoir is loaded into the reactor (3)
(1). La carga de sangre (S) se realiza por medio de una tubería de conexión (21) con una bomba peristáltica (2), habiendo una válvula de entrada (22) en la entrada del reactor (3). La entrada de sangre (S) en el reactor por la acción de la bomba peristáltica (2) es en modo lento. (one). The blood load (S) is carried out by means of a connection pipe (21) with a peristaltic pump (2), with an inlet valve (22) at the reactor inlet (3). The entry of blood (S) into the reactor by the action of the peristaltic pump (2) is in slow mode.
- Finalizada la incorporación de la cantidad de sangre (S) en el reactor (3), se procede a añadir en el reactor la misma cantidad de agua (A). Para ello se usa el mismo sistema que para la sangre, es decir, desde el depósito inicial (1) y por medio de la bomba peristáltica (2) y la tubería de conexión (21), el agua (A) se introduce en el reactor (3). - After the incorporation of the amount of blood (S) into the reactor (3), the same amount of water (A) is added to the reactor. For this the same system is used as for blood, that is, from the initial deposit (1) and by By means of the peristaltic pump (2) and the connecting pipe (21), water (A) is introduced into the reactor (3).
- Finalizada la incorporación de la misma cantidad de agua (Λ) y de sangre (S) en el reactor (3), las palas de agitación (31) del reactor se accionan y comienza la agitación de la mezcla a baja potencia y velocidad lenta, para conseguir una uniformidad del líquido sin la formación de grumos. - After the incorporation of the same amount of water (Λ) and blood (S) into the reactor (3), the stirring blades (31) of the reactor are activated and stirring of the mixture begins at low power and slow speed , to achieve a uniformity of the liquid without the formation of lumps.
- Sin detener el movimiento de las palas de agitación (31), la bomba de adición de ácido clorhídrico (4) diluido añade dicho ácido en el reactor (3) hasta llegar al punto de pH ácido para coagular toda la masa, cuyo valor está en el entorno del 1 ,5 a 3 como ácido fuerte. - Without stopping the movement of the stirring blades (31), the diluted hydrochloric acid addition pump (4) adds said acid in the reactor (3) until it reaches the acidic pH point to coagulate the entire mass, whose value is around 1, 5 to 3 as strong acid.
- Siguen funcionando las palas de agitación (31) y, entonces, la bomba de adición de hidróxido sódico (5). lentamente comienza a incorporar este álcali en el reactor (3) hasta conseguir el nivel de pH se eleve, hasta un valor en el entorno del 4,5 a 5,5, acercándose a la neutralidad. - Una vez alcanzado el anterior valor de pH se detiene el movimiento de las palas de agitación (31) durante un corto periodo para comprobarse que el pH permanece estable. La medición de pH se realiza mediante un medidor (32) de pH que llega hasta el fondo del reactor. - The stirring blades (31) and then the sodium hydroxide addition pump (5) continue to operate. Slowly begin to incorporate this alkali in the reactor (3) until the pH level rises, to a value around 4.5 to 5.5, approaching neutrality. - Once the previous pH value is reached, the movement of the stirring blades (31) stops for a short period to verify that the pH remains stable. The pH measurement is carried out by means of a pH meter (32) that reaches the bottom of the reactor.
- Comprobado el tiempo de estabilidad de la masa, la bomba de aplicación de peróxido de hidrógeno o agua oxigenada (6). adiciona este componente en el reactor (3) para que comience el trabajo de decoloración, estando las palas de agitación (31) detenidas. - Checked the stability time of the dough, the hydrogen peroxide application pump or hydrogen peroxide (6). add this component in the reactor (3) to begin the bleaching work, with the stirring blades (31) being stopped.
- Transcurrido un tiempo prolongado contado a partir de la primera adición de agua oxigenada, se vuelve a incorporar en el reactor (3) con el mismo sistema y metodología la misma cantidad de agua oxigenada (6). De esta manera se mantiene la instalación en fase de espera. - After a prolonged time counted from the first addition of hydrogen peroxide, the same amount of hydrogen peroxide (6) is incorporated back into the reactor (3) with the same system and methodology. In this way the installation is kept on hold.
- Transcurridas unas horas desde que se inicia la oxidación, y a la vista de los datos indicados en los detectores del reactor (3), se realiza una serie de cálculos para llevar a cabo las modificaciones precisas para lograr la máxima efectividad en la decoloración y para ello deberá modificar el pH con la adición de ácido clorhídrico (4) y/o agua oxigenada (6), para crear las condiciones óptimas de trabajo. - After a few hours after the oxidation begins, and in view of the data indicated in the reactor detectors (3), a series of calculations are carried out to carry out the precise modifications to achieve maximum effectiveness in the decolorization and for this you must modify the pH with the addition of hydrochloric acid (4) and / or hydrogen peroxide (6), to create the optimal working conditions.
Una vez el tiempo pasa y el pH se corrige y neutraliza, el equipo adiciona dichos componentes y pone en marcha y detienen las palas de agitación (31) solo para estabilizar y neutralizar la mezcla cuantas veces sea necesario, de modo que la mezcla se neutraliza poco a poco hasta que llega a un valor de pH del entorno del 7. Once time passes and the pH is corrected and neutralized, the equipment adds these components and starts and stops the stirring blades (31) only to stabilize and neutralize the mixture as many times as necessary, so that the mixture is neutralized little by little until it reaches a pH value of around 7.
Λ continuación, se pone en funcionamiento el molino coloidal (7). £1 proceso de accionamiento del molino coloidal (7) es tal que se abre la boca de descarga (33) del reactor y arranca una bomba mono (34) que extrae producto del reactor, lo ingresa en la boca de entrada (72) del molino coloidal, el molino coloidal actúa sobre la mezcla, y éste lo conduce de nuevo por medio de conducciones (71) al interior del reactor (3) generándose un circuito cerrado. Λ then the colloid mill (7) is put into operation. The process of driving the colloid mill (7) is such that the discharge port (33) of the reactor is opened and a mono pump (34) that extracts product from the reactor starts, enters it into the inlet mouth (72) of the colloidal mill, the colloidal mill acts on the mixture, and this one conducts it again by means of conduits (71) to the interior of the reactor (3) generating a closed circuit.
Al cabo de unos minutos de estar «circulando la mezcla, se calculan los valores de pH en el reactor con el medidor (32) y se adiciona el compuesto necesario para corregir la acidez que pueda tener el producto. After a few minutes of "circulating the mixture, the pH values in the reactor are calculated with the meter (32) and the compound necessary to correct the acidity that the product may have is added.
Cuando el contenido del reactor (3) es una masa de color amarillento, de aspecto micronizado, lo cual se observa con una mirilla (35), se abre la válvula by pass (73) para que el producto sea conducido hacia el depósito pulmón (8) que tiene en funcionamiento el agitador (82). De igual modo, cuando el reactor (3) queda vacío, se procede a arrastrar los restos de producto, que se recuperan junto con los de las conducciones (71) y el molino coloidal (7), y son conducidos e introducidos por su boca de entrada (81) en dicho depósito pulmón (8). When the content of the reactor (3) is a yellowish-colored mass of micronized appearance, which is observed with a sight glass (35), the bypass valve (73) is opened so that the product is led to the lung reservoir ( 8) that the agitator (82) is running. Similarly, when the reactor (3) is empty, the product remains are carried away, which are recovered together with those of the pipes (71) and the colloid mill (7), and are driven and introduced through its mouth input (81) in said lung tank (8).
- Posteriormente al vaciado se detienen las palas de agitación (31) del reactor, la bomba mono (34), el molino coloidal (7) y se cierra la boca de descarga (33) del reactor, para que posteriormente se lave todo ello con agua de red para arrastrar restos de materia sólida que hayan podido quedar adherida a las paredes. De nuevo, se abre la boca de descarga (33) del reactor y se pone en funcionamiento el molino coloidal (7) y la bomba mono (34). Estas primeras aguas de lavado arrastran todos restos de sólidos del P.H.D. que existen en el reactor, bomba mono, molino coloidal y conducciones hacia el depósito pulmón. Acabada esta operación ya se puede proceder a la limpieza profunda de los equipos cuyas aguas de lavado son canalizadas hacia una depuradora. Finalizada la limpieza ya puede volver a iniciarse sucesivamente las etapas anteriores para cargar otro nuevo reactor con nueva materia prima o sangre estabilizada procedente del matadero de animales de abasto. - After emptying, the stirring blades (31) of the reactor, the mono pump (34), the colloid mill (7) are stopped and the discharge mouth (33) of the reactor is closed, so that later all this is washed with mains water to drag solid matter remains that may have adhered to the walls. Again, the discharge port (33) of the reactor is opened and the colloidal mill (7) and the mono pump (34) are put into operation. These first wash waters They drag all remains of PHD solids that exist in the reactor, mono pump, colloid mill and conduits to the lung reservoir. Once this operation is finished, you can proceed to the deep cleaning of the equipment whose washing water is channeled to a treatment plant. Once the cleaning is finished, the previous steps can be started again to load another new reactor with new raw material or stabilized blood from the slaughterhouse of supply animals.
Una vez que la sangre (S) ha sido sometida a la fase de hidrólisis y decoloración, el producto resultante se encuentra en su totalidad en el depósito pulmón (8) agitándose hasta su estabilización. Once the blood (S) has been subjected to the hydrolysis and discoloration phase, the resulting product is in its entirety in the lung reservoir (8) with stirring until stabilization.
Cuando el producto está estabilizado, el depósito pulmón (8) transmite una seftal y se ponen en marcha los siguientes equipos: la bomba centrífuga filtrante (9), un sinfín de extracción y transporte de torta en un sinfín (93) y una bomba mono (83) que alimenta a Ja centrífuga a través de la boca (91). La bomba centrífuga filtrante (9) se carga a baja velocidad para que el sólido quede retenido mientras el agua de reacción es expulsado; se sigue con la introducción de agua de red para extraer y lavar el contenido de sales; cuando el nivel de sales detectado a la salida del agua de lavado es bajo, se detiene la entrada del agua de lavado y se acelera automáticamente la máquina hasta que deja de expulsar agua; seguidamente descienden las revoluciones de la bomba centrífuga filtrante hasta nivel de descarga y, entonces, desciende una cuchilla hidráulica en el interior que rasca para desprender el producto o torta compacta que cae en una tolva interna (92) que está situada en la parte interior de la bomba centrífuga filtrante (9); y finalmente, el sinfín (93) de extracción recoge la torta escurrida y la traslada a una tolva (10) diseñada para alimentar al secadero (11) que de manera continua genera el producto final. When the product is stabilized, the lung reservoir (8) transmits a signal and the following equipment is started: the centrifugal filter pump (9), a cake extraction and transport auger in an auger (93) and a mono pump (83) that feeds the centrifuge through the mouth (91). The centrifugal filter pump (9) is loaded at low speed so that the solid is retained while the reaction water is expelled; the introduction of mains water is continued to extract and wash the salt content; when the level of salts detected at the outlet of the wash water is low, the inlet of the wash water is stopped and the machine automatically accelerates until it stops expelling water; then the revolutions of the centrifugal filter pump descend to the discharge level and, then, a hydraulic blade descends inside that scratches to release the product or compact cake that falls into an internal hopper (92) that is located in the inner part of the centrifugal filter pump (9); and finally, the extraction auger (93) collects the drained cake and transfers it to a hopper (10) designed to feed the dryer (11) that continuously generates the final product.
£1 secadero (Π) recibe la torta húmeda que se deshidrata de una manera regular y continua, donde una vez el producto es deshidratado, molturado y enfriado se envasa en condiciones que garanticen su perfecta conservación en envases adecuados. Por otro lado, en la Figura 2 se puede observar la representación del ciclo del agua con las diferentes fases y equipamientos del procedimiento, lo cual es importante desde el punto de vista medio ambiental. En concreto se puede decir que se emplea agua de red que es tanto mezclada con la propia sangre estabilizada procedente del matadero como con los diferentes reactivos previamente descritos en las diferentes etapas del procedimiento. Inicialmente se incluye en el reactor (3) tanto agua (A) como sangre (S), produciéndose una mezcla (I) sin que se produzcan espuma, se van añadiendo ácido clorhídrico (4), hidróxido sódico (5) y agua oxigenada (6), de manera que se produce la hidrólisis (II), posteriormente la decoloración (III), se llega a la fase coloidal de recirculación (IV) con el molino (7) y de estabilización del pH (V), para un posterior trasiego (VI) al depósito pulmón (8), lavado y filtrado (VII) en la bomba centrífuga filtrante (9). En este momento se produce por un lado la deshidratación (VIII), micronizado (IX) y envasado (X) en la tolva (10) y secadero (11), mientras que por otro lado se producen aguas residuales (XI) tras el filtrado y lavado (VI), siendo dichas aguas residuales pasadas a través de una columna de carbón activo (XII) y una planta de osmosis (XIII), produciéndose salmuera (XIV) por un lado, y agua llevada a un evaporador (XV) con la que se produce propiamente agua evaporada y también se obtiene agua reutilizable (XVI) de nuevo en todo el proceso. £ 1 dryer (Π) receives the wet cake that is dehydrated in a regular and continuous way, where once the product is dehydrated, ground and cooled it is packaged under conditions that guarantee its perfect preservation in suitable containers. On the other hand, Figure 2 shows the representation of the water cycle with the different phases and equipment of the procedure, which is important from the environmental point of view. Specifically, it can be said that network water is used which is mixed with the stabilized blood itself from the slaughterhouse and with the different reagents previously described in the different stages of the process. Initially, both water (A) and blood (S) are included in the reactor (3), producing a mixture (I) without foaming, hydrochloric acid (4), sodium hydroxide (5) and hydrogen peroxide (5) are added. 6), so that the hydrolysis (II) takes place, then the discoloration (III), the colloidal phase of recirculation (IV) is reached with the mill (7) and of pH stabilization (V), for later transfer (VI) to the lung tank (8), washing and filtering (VII) in the centrifugal filter pump (9). At this time, dehydration (VIII), micronized (IX) and packaging (X) in the hopper (10) and dryer (11) occur on the one hand, while on the other hand wastewater (XI) is produced after filtration and washing (VI), said wastewater being passed through a column of active carbon (XII) and an osmosis plant (XIII), producing brine (XIV) on the one hand, and water taken to an evaporator (XV) with which produces evaporated water itself and reusable water (XVI) is also obtained again throughout the process.
