Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing solid milks and to the products obtained therefrom. The method comprises a compression step, a moistening step, and a drying step. The compression step is carried out with a compaction ratio between 50% and 80%. In the moistening step, water is sprayed for less than 1 s onto the compressed milk unit in an amount between 0.1 mg and 8 mg per cm2 of the outside surface area. The drying step follows the moistening step for less than 10 s, the duration of the drying step being less than 30 s. The solid milk has a core/crust structure, the average thickness of the crust being at least the thickness of two rows of milk particles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing solid milks and to the products obtained with the aid of this method. The method for producing solid milks according to the invention comprises the following steps: compressing milk powder at a compression speed between 110 and 200 mm/s to obtain a solid unit, moistening the solid unit by spraying an amount of water between 0.1 and 8 mg/cm2, then drying the solid unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a soluble coffee tablet comprising the following successive steps: a. Taking a quantity of a coffee composition comprising coffee, wherein the coffee consists of soluble coffee particles; b. Compaction of the coffee composition to form a compacted coffee product of three-dimensional form; c. Moistening of said compacted coffee product to moisten the exterior surface of the compacted product; d. Drying of the moistened compacted product to form the soluble coffee tablet. Such a method makes it possible to form a soluble coffee tablet having an internal part and an external part entirely surrounding the internal part, with the external part having a greater density than the density of the internal part. The internal part is a porous core promoting the dissolution of the tablet and the external part forms a thick hardened crust with a density greater than the density of the core, thus increasing the mechanical resistance of the tablet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing solid milks and to the products obtained with the aid of this method. The method comprises a compression step, then a moistening step, then a drying step. The compression step is carried out with a compaction ratio comprised between 50% and 80%. In the moistening step, water is sprayed on the outside surface of the said compressed and solid milk unit with an amount comprised between 0. mg and 8 mg per cm2 of the area of the said outside surface, the duration of the moistening step being less than 1 s, to obtain a moistened solid unit having a moistened outside layer of at least two rows of milk particles. The drying step follows the moistening step less than 10 10 s, the duration of the drying step being less than 30 s. The solid milk has a core/crust structure, the average thickness of the crust being at least the thickness of two rows of milk particles.

Abstract: The plastics material elongate member is designed to co-operate with a sheet-metal elongate hollow body by being bonded thereto in such a manner as to impart rigidity to the roof structure. The elongate member is shaped in such a manner as to be fitted against the hollow body and to be bonded to a seat of the hollow body so as to co-operate with the hollow body to constitute the roof structure. The structure member includes a sheet-metal elongate hollow body contributing to the stiffness of the structure member. It further includes a plastics material elongate member as defined above. The sheet-metal hollow body and the elongate member are bonded together in such a manner as to form a structure imparting rigidity to the structure member. The roof arch and the roof frame of the invention include such a structure member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a motor vehicle bodywork part comprising a metal sheet. The metal sheet is shaped after previously being coated with a surface covering suitable for acting as a mechanical bonding interface with a thermoplastic material. The invention also provides a bodywork part, in particular a fender, a door, or a tailgate.
