The vacuum space treatments are known in the industry. The process is carried out at low pressure, so energy requirement of the  evaporation is about one-third of the conventional dryers. The process shortens the drying time and because of the exhaust is conducted into a vapor condenser the method is environmentally friendly. The biologically sensitive, easy remoisturable materials are produced by freeze drying. However this high-cost procedure is affordable only in case of high-value products, for example for intermediates in the food industry or Nescafé.

In the frame of a project with Rona Dryer (EU-HUN)  a new system "high tech" vacuum dryer prototype was developed which deals with the traditional drying costs but produces quality at the level of freeze-drying. The prototype is a tray-dryer with special oil heating and handling. The operating parameters are very special as well, so it is possible to achieve this excellent performance.  The theoretical background of the project provided by www.foodengineering.info . The dryer differs from the vacuum dryers on the market both of the technical solutions and the control process.

In the technical area because of the novelty of the design, preparation and execution took more time than normal, but in the end (next to the other barriers), the prototype has been made ​​on time. From July the prototype can now  join to the summer campaign, so the test run is almost ideally begins and in September and it is expected to be completed.

Are you interested in this cost effective, high-tech dryer?

Sea buckthorn pulp oil:

It is suggested in case of A, E, F vitamin deficiency. Increases the resistance of the body, anti-inflammatory, delaying the aging process, lowering the blood cholesterol levels by a special fatty acid composition thus slowing down the development process of arteriosclerosis.  It will help to optimize your weight when course of treatment is applied and also keeps  your hair and skin healthy. Increases the resistance of respiratory tract infections.  Additional  treatment of rheumatic complaints is beneficial. Facilitate the termination of the age spots. Course of treatment can improve the “dark” vision, through functioning of the nerves of the eyes. When externally applied sea buckthorn can have a good effect on burns, skin ulcers, radioactive ulcer, stomatitis, and cosmetic treat to skin of the the scalp. According to the statement of The Chinese Academy of Sciences sea buckthorn pulp oil can have some inhibitory effects on tumor growth.

Sea buckthorn seed oil:

Proposed and clinically tested in China and Russia for stomach problems (eg stomach burn), peptic ulcer and duodenal ulcer healing. Used frequently for skin infection, atopic eczema, acne treatment as well. Saturated fats help the burning of the bodyfat so help you lose weight. Helps heart disease. Reduces the symptoms of the premenstrual syndrome.  The Vitamin F (polyunsaturated fatty acids) results of the lack of which occurred in the central nervous system to correct abnormalities (especially diabetes).  Sea buckthorn can help to the alcoholics to regenerate their liver function and reduces the severity of withdrawal symptoms .

Unfortunately unpleasant to eat the raw sea buckthorn or its oil because the flavour is terrible; so the application of the sea buckthorn in meals and beverages is a great challenge for food engineers
