The aim of this patent is a basically cylindrical vertical body where the
displacement of grains occurs through gravity.
It is constituted by an antechamber (01) through which the grains enter
and are pre-heated when they come in contact with an amount of parallel
tubes (02), heated by steam. In the lower part of the chamber (01), there
is an entry rotational valve (11) through which the grains pass to the
heating chamber (18).
Inside the heating chamber (18), there are diverse diametral gutters (14)
arranged in opposite positions, with "V" inverted shape walls through
which steam is injected into the heating chamber (18) that has a multiple
rotational valve of the base (19) in its lower part over the cylinder of
the plates (21) heated by steam, where there is an upper heated (22),
second (27) and third (28) plates upon which rotational paddles (25) turn
that make the grains fall through an opening (26) and a download gutter
(32) in the upper one and second plate, and there is a lower rotational
valve (31) under the third one.
