Patent Images
1. A device for continuous heat-treating of foods, comprising:
- a conduit made of a dielectric material in which a product to be treated flows, the conduit having at least a pair of electrodes located in the conduit which are subjected to a potential difference of at least 2000 Volts with a frequency of at least 25 MHz, anda rotor made of a dielectric material is located internally of the conduit, said rotor having a core from which a plurality of fins parallel to the rotor axis rises, said fins having a section of any shape and are distributed along a length and over a whole perimeter of the rotor, so that any section of the rotor orthogonal to the rotor axis comprises one and only one fin, and has a height such as to contact an internal surface of the conduit, the fins being staggered with respect to each other in order to contact and clean each portion of the internal surface of the conduit.

Abstract
Device for continuous heat-treatment of foods, equipped with a conduit made of a dielectric material in which a product to be treated flows, the conduit having at least a pair of electrodes located in the conduit which are subjected to a potential difference of at least 2000 Volts with a frequency of at least 25 Mhz, characterized in that a rotor made of dielectric material is located internally of the conduit, which rotor has a core from which a plurality of fins rises, which fins are distributed along a length of the rotor, are of a height such us to contact an internal surface of the conduit.
