Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0114939A2] 1. An apparatus for drying and cooling by a countercurrent method finely crystalline sugar, in paticular fructose, the apparatus having a rotating cylindrical drum, in which the inner drum wall is provided with lifting scoops, and with a concentric hot-air pipe rotatable with the drum and projecting by stages into the drum and which is connectable at one end to a hot-air blower on the outside of the drum and open at the other end positioned inside the drum, cooling air being blown into the drum outside hot-air pipe and coaxially therewith, characterized in that two air-deflecting devices (8, 9) are provided for mixing the cooling air and the hot air upstream of the open end (5a) of the hot-air pipe (5) and at a distance therefrom, each device has deflector plates (10, 11) extending radially at approximately the same inclination to the longitudinal axis of the drum and the ends of each deflector plate (10, 11) are fixed in planes displaced axially from one another, and the deflector plates (10, 11) of the two air-deflecting devices (8, 9) are inclined towards one another and mesh with one another in the manner of a cog.
