Apparatus (1) for sterilization and/or heat treatment of products in particle form, e.g. bone meal, and comprising an upright-standing pressure vessel (2) with elevator arrangement (6) which lifts the meal from the bottom area (5) to the top area (4), and lets it fall back to the bottom area for re-lifting. The processing is effected by direct steam supply (16), whereby the meal is heated to sterilization temperature. After the treatment or the sterilization, the vessel is emptied by the opening of a bottom valve (10). During the whole of the process, i.e. during filling, sterilization and emptying, the elevator arrangement (6) is in operation. The elevator arrangement is, for example, a helical vibration elevator firmly built into the vessel and with external vibration motors (8), so that the whole of the vessel is made to vibrate.

Cette invention concerne un appareil (1) de stérilisation et/ou traitement thermique de produits particulaires, par exemple de la farine d'os, qui comprend une enceinte sous pression verticale (2) munie d'un dispositif élévateur (6) servant à acheminer la farine du bas (5) vers le sommet (4) de l'enceinte d'où le produit retombe vers le bas en vue d'une nouvelle passe élévatoire. Le traitement fait appel à une injection directe de vapeur (16) qui amène la farine à la température de stérilisation. Après traitement ou stérilisation du produit, l'opérateur vide l'enceinte en ouvrant une vanne (10) disposée au fond. Le dispositif élévateur fonctionne en continu pendant toutes les étapes du procédé, c'est-à-dire remplissage, stérilisation et vidange. Le dispositif élévateur peut prendre la forme d'une vis sans fin vibrante solidaire de l'enceinte, la mise en vibration étant obtenue par des excitateurs (8) externes agissant sur l'ensemble de l'enceinte.
