Title:
APPARATUS FOR PRODUCTION OF SURFACE-TREATED GRANULAR SUBSTANCE, RELEVANT PROCESS AND SURFACE-TREATED GRANULAR SUBSTANCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/094085
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to produce a high-quality purified surface-treated granular
substance and processed substance through, without application of excessive
pressure or temperature, efficient grinding of a surface layer region of feedstock
granular substance by means of simple apparatus and operation to thereby remove
unwanted portions, such as surface nonedible portion, oxidized coating layer
and attachment, without denaturation, decomposition or elimination of useful
matter. Feedstock granular substance (7) is fed into cylindrical retention
tube (3) provided with a multiplicity of retention parts (8) for retaining of
granular substance (7) moving along the inner circumference thereof. In the
state of having the feedstock granular substance (7) retained by the retention
parts (8) of the retention tube (3), grinding member (4) having a multiplicity
of flexible long grinding materials (6) radially extending from the rotational
axis extending along the axial center of the retention tube (3) is rotated to thereby
realize rotation with the distal ends of the long grinding materials (6) brought
into contact with the surface of the granular substance (7) and surface treatment
of the granular substance (7). Thus, production of a surface-treated granular
substance is attained.
