Patent number: 10569187Abstract: Disclosed herein is an external mixing pressurized two-fluid nozzle for atomising a liquid by means of liquid pressure and gas, comprising an inner feed liquid pipe (1) extending axially between an upstream end and a downstream end, having a feed liquid conduit (2), a feed liquid inlet (3) positioned at the upstream end and a feed orifice (4) positioned at the downstream end, and a co-axial first gas pipe (5) extending radially outside the inner feed liquid pipe (1) and forming a first gas conduit (6) between the first gas pipe (5) and the inner feed liquid pipe (1), the first gas pipe (5) having a gas outlet slit (7) positioned at the downstream end. Said external mixing two-fluid nozzle provides a swirling motion of the gas, which combined with a pressurized feed liquid enables the production of spray dried powder at industrially applicable capacities with low energy consumption and a small particle size.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: GEA Process Engineering A/SInventors: Per Bo Sorensen, Anders Bo Jensen, Soren Fredsted

Patent number: 8192775Abstract: The present invention relates to microcrystallized polyol comprising at least two polyols, wherein said polyols are selected from the group consisting of maltitol, xylitol and lactitol and wherein said composition contains at least 35% by weight of each of at least two of said polyols microcrystallized together into a solid microcrystalline product. The present invention also relates to a process for the microcrystallization of polyols into a polyol composition. The microcrystallized polyol composition can be used in confectionery, foodstuffs, oral hygiene products and pharmaceuticals and in dietetic products.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2010Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Danisco Sweeteners OyInventors: Olli-Pekka Eroma, Johanna Nygren, Heikki Heikkila, Per Bo Sorensen, Marja-Leena Sarkki, Ian Fairs, Hakan Gros

Patent number: 7694944Abstract: A nozzle for atomizing a liquid using a gas. The nozzle includes a mixing chamber (1), one or more liquid inlets (6c) and at least one tangential gas inlet (5) to the mixing chamber. An outlet (4) is positioned at the downstream end of the mixing chamber (1). A center body (2) having a generally converging configuration, seen in the flow direction, is provided in the mixing chamber (1). The liquid inlet (6c) or inlets is/are positioned at or near the upstream end (3a) of the mixing chamber (1) and in the upstream direction with respect to the gas inlet (5) or inlets.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2003Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Niro A/SInventors: Niels Gottlieb, Per Bo Sørensen, Heinz Wullschleger

Patent number: 6497911Abstract: A moist non-rewetted particulate material obtained from an extract of e.g. coffee by drying, is subjected to a heat treatment being carried out without affecting the moisture content of the particulate material at a combination of temperature and time being adequate for effecting fusion so as to form a compact cake-like structure, which is disintegrated into granular material before drying to final moisture content, whereby fines may be separated without being subjected to final drying, and recirculated in the process. Hereby a product having an appearance similar to and a quality comparable to or better than that of freeze dried coffee can be obtained in a less expensive manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2000Date of Patent: December 24, 2002Assignee: Niro A/SInventors: Ove Emil Hansen, Per Bo Sørensen, Jørgen Ilkjær, Jens Mourits Sørensen
