Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for processing an edible product in the form of a viscous to pasty mass, in particular, an edible product based on a fatty mass, such as chocolate, or based on water, such as ice cream. Said device comprises dosing units (D1, D2) for the dosed supply of a specific volume of the mass to a bearing surface. Said dosing units (D1, D2) comprise, respectively, a dosing piston (4) which is mounted in a piston chamber, whereby the dosing piston (4) moves at least in a rotational manner about the piston axis thereof (A1). A first plurality of dosing units (D1) are arranged on a first plane, and a second plurality of dosing units (D2) are arranged on a second plane. The dosing piston (4) of the dosing units (D1), which are arranged on the first plane (D1), are rotationally driven by means of a first drive element (7; 16), and the dosing piston (4) of the dosing units (D2), which are arranged on the second plane, are rotationally driven by means of a second drive element (8; 16).

Abstract:
An apparatus for the continuous crystallization of polyester material is described, which apparatus can likewise be used for the drying of granules. The apparatus operates to improve the residence behavior of the material and the process. This is achieved by a circular apparatus having a gas inlet and gas outlet and product entry and product outlet, The product entry and product outlet are arranged concentrically and parallel to the axis of the apparatus. A product outlet device is arranged so that it is axially displaceable.
