PROCEDURE AND FACILITY FOR PROCESSING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE, ESPECIALLY FRUITS, AND SOLAR COLLECTOR, PRE-DRIER, GRINDING PLANT, SECONDARY DRIER AND AIR-CONDITIONING PLANT ESPECIALLY FOR THE FACILITY

摘要

In the course of the procedure the agricultural produce - after it is prepared for drying, especially after it is sorted and/or washed and/or chopped in a given case - is dried, and powdered final product is made from the dried produce. The procedure is based on that the produce is predried using heat gained from solar collector(s) (12), and then it is powdered by air-jet grinding; and the powdered product is submitted to secondary drying. The facility has drying and grinding units, and it is based on that - it has one or more decentralised processing units (2), which contain a fix indoor drying equipment (7) and - in a given case - outdoor mobile drying equipment, and - it has a centralised processing unit (11) provided with an air-jet grinding plant and secondary dryer (19) and with a compressor connected to this equipment. Also the facility has solar collectors (12) belonging to the processing units (2; 11), for the purpose of producing hot air that can be used for the drying operations, for making hot water for use and/or for heating the building.
