Patent

CA 2002554

An enclosed food processing vat is provided having two or more generally horizontally-oriented partial cylindrical inner wall sections, each inner wall section conforming to a first portion of an swept volume created by the rotation of an agitator means about a horizontal shaft, the distance between the shafts being slightly greater than the radius of the swept volume so that a second portion of the swept volume for each shaft intersects and overlaps the swept volume of adjacent shafts. Each shaft is provided with a series of combined cutting and stirring paddles comprising a series of blades arranged both perpendicular to the shaft and parallel to the shaft that are sharpened on one side only and fixed so that when the shaft is rotated in one direction cutting will take place: whereas, when the shaft is rotated in the other direction stirring will take place. The stirring action is further enhanced by the orientation of certain perpendicular blades that act on the food product in a propeller-like manner creating a generally torroidal flow pattern of food product around the shaft of each inner wall section.

Cuve de transformation comprenant au moins deux parois internes partielles généralement horizontales et cylindriques. Chaque section de paroi interne prend la forme de la première partie du volume engendré par la rotation d'un agitateur sur son axe horizontal. La distance entre les axes est légèrement supérieure au rayon du volume engendré par l'agitateur, de sorte qu'une seconde partie du volume engendré de chaque axe recoupe le volume engendré des axes voisins. Chaque axe comporte une série de couteaux et d'agitateurs combinés constituant une série de pales placées à la fois de façon perpendiculaire et parallèle à l'axe. Les pales sont coupantes d'un côté seulement et fixées de sorte que, lorsque l'axe est tourné dans une direction, elles coupent les aliments, tandis que lorsqu'il est tourné dans une autre direction, elles mélangent les aliments. L'effet d'agitation est accru grâce à l'orientation de certaines lames perpendiculaires qui agissent sur les aliments comme des hélices, de manière à déplacer les aliments dans un débit généralement torique autour de l'axe de chaque section de paroi interne.
