Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013018039A1] The present invention relates to an apparatus for pulverising, dehydrating and sterilising both liquid and solid materials, said apparatus comprising: a treatment vessel (2) for containing liquid and/or solid materials during use, in which an outlet (3) is defined to allow discharge of the materials treated in the treatment vessel (2); introduction means (4, 12, 17) for introducing liquid and/or solid materials into the treatment vessel (2); and flow generation means (5, 13) for generating at least one flow of fluid in the treatment vessel (2), said at least one flow of fluid generating a pressure of at least 3 bar in said vessel (2) and forming a vortex in which the fluid moves from the outside in, said vortex, during use, entraining and dragging the materials introduced into the treatment vessel (2) until they implode, thus causing, at the same time, pulverisation, dehydration and sterilisation. The invention also relates to a corresponding method for pulverising, dehydrating and sterilising both liquid and solid materials.
