PELLETING APPARATUS

FIELD: processing of raw food materials, in particular, technique used in lines for producing of extruded combined feed and food concentrates. ^ SUBSTANCE: pelleting apparatus has cylindrical working chamber with nozzle incorporated therein, and drive. Vertical shaft with four symmetrically fixed rectangular partitions is positioned within working chamber. Of said partitions, two opposite partitions are provided with rectangular radial cuts formed in their lower parts and other two partitions are in contact with bottom divided into four sections. Three of said sections are made perforated and fourth section has cut communicating with discharge branch pipe. Branch pipe for discharge of excessive fat-and-vitamin mixture is positioned under first section and branch pipe for feeding of heat-carrier is positioned under second and third sections. Nozzle for feeding of fat-and-vitamin mixture is located within upper part of first section and branch pipe with strainer type separator is positioned within cover positioned above second and third sections, said strainer type separator being designed for discharge of used heat-carrier. Charging branch pipe is positioned laterally of upper part of working chamber, above first section. ^ EFFECT: improved quality of ready product, intensified pelleting process and wider range of usages. ^ 1 dwg
