Abstract
A process and apparatus for manufacturing dry, solid molasses of greatly improved storage stability uses thin-layer cooling to ensure that the dried molasses has been cooled to the core. The cooled molasses is then precrushed and pulverized by impact without crushing or significant friction.
Claims16
In the process for the manufacture of solid, dry molasses comprising drying the molasses and cooling and dividing the dried molasses, the improvement wherein said cooling and dividing step comprises:
- cooling the molasses in a thin layer, immediately after said drying step, said layer being sufficiently thin in relation to the cooling temperature to allow the molasses to be cooled to the core thereof;
- precrushing the cooled molasses to coarse particles, and
- reducing the course particles to a powder by impact without crushing or significant friction.
