- the grain distribution means also comprise a guide tube 5 of cylindrical shape, arranged concentrically with respect to the centrifugal wheel 3 and surrounding said centrifugal wheel.
- the guide tube 5 delimits an annular space 6 with a deflector 7 arranged coaxially inside said guide tube 5.
- the generally cylindrical deflector 7 is closed at the top by a conical roof 7a, the point of which is directed towards the centrifugal wheel 3.
- the annular space 6 includes an outlet 8 directed downwards from the casing 1 and equipped with a grid 9 placed horizontally, thus materializing a fixed connection between the guide tube 5 and the deflector 7.
- the device comprises means for humidifying the grains constituted by a water spraying wheel 10 disposed below the outlet 8 of the annular space 6 and in the axis of the centrifugal wheel 3.
- This spraying wheel 10 is mounted to rotate freely at the end of a pipe 11 of water supply which flows inside the casing 1 to limit changes in direction.
- the last section of this piping 11 is arranged vertically and positioned axially with respect to the main axis of said spraying wheel 10, so that it can, on the one hand, be maintained in a horizontal position and, on the other hand, be free to rotate.
- the spraying wheel 10 is mounted at the end of the piping 11 by means of a system comprising thrust ball bearings 12 and a threaded ring 13.
- Seals 14 are interposed between the wheel 10, the piping 11 and the threaded ring 13.
- the spraying wheel 10 is fixedly mounted on the end of the supply pipe 11.
- the spraying wheel 10 has a central recess 10a (FIG. 2) into which opens, on the one hand, the water supply pipe 11 and, on the other hand, at least two water circulation channels 10b provided radially in the thickness of said wheel 10 and distributed symmetrically.
- each channel 10b is provided with an atomizing nozzle 15, the passage section of which is different from that of the channel 10b located upstream.
- the device comprises means for wringing out the grains which consist of a tank 16 driven in rotation and situated in the axis of the centrifugal wheel 3 and of the spraying wheel 10.
- This tank 16 has a diameter greater than the diameter of the guide tube 5 surrounding the centrifugal wheel 3 and is provided with a circular flat bottom 16a surmounted of a tubular element 16b forming a grain storage area.
- the tubular element 16b extends to near the outlet 8 of the annular space 6.
- the spraying wheel 10 is therefore placed inside the wiping tank 16.
- the tubular element 16b of the tank 16 comprises, in the lower part, at least one row of equidistant holes 16c, for the evacuation of the water from said tank 16.
- the wringing tank 16 is associated with water recovery means which are constituted by a fixed tank 17.
- This recovery tank 17 comprises, on the one hand, a flat bottom 17a disposed below and at a determined distance from the flat bottom 16a of the wringing tank 16 and, on the other hand, a tubular element 17b arranged concentrically with the tubular element 16b of said wiping tank 16 and providing with the latter a free space 18 communicating with the interior of the wiping tank 16 through the holes 16c.
- the tank 17, called the recovery tank, has a nozzle 19 fixed on its bottom 17a, to which is connected a discharge pipe 20, itself connected to water recycling means.
- the wringing tank 16 comprises, at its bottom 16a, a connection member of known type, not shown, on which the end of a motor shaft 21 is connected to form a rigid connection.
- This drive shaft 21 has a cylindrical part 21a passing freely through a passage formed in the bottom 17a of the recovery tank 17.
- the motor shaft 21 also includes a first flange 21b whose annular section rests on the upper face of a guide ring 22, itself fitted into a bore provided for this purpose in a hub 23.
- the guide ring 22 is traversed by the motor shaft 21, the lower end of which is connected to a means 24 for driving said shaft 21 in rotation and thus for the wringing tank 16.
- a second flange 21c attached to the drive shaft 21, disposed opposite the first flange 21b thus limits the axial movement of said drive shaft 21 relative to the hub 23 within compatible tolerances for ideal operation.
- the recovery tank 17 is bolted via its bottom 17a to the flange of the hub 23 and is thus held in a fixed position.
- the hub 23 is held integral with the casing 1 by a set of symmetrically distributed ribs 25.
- the casing 1 has at its lower part an airlock 26 profiled in a cone converging in the direction of a hopper 27 for discharging the moistened grains.
- the casing 1 comprises at the outlet airlock 26, a means 40 for measuring the moisture content of the grains.
- This measurement means 40 is for example of the infrared type and makes it possible to refine the water flow in the spraying wheel 10 and / or the speed of rotation of the wringing tank 16 as a function of the moisture content of the grains. thus measured.
- the means for recycling the water recovered in the recovery tank 17 comprise a filter provided on the discharge pipe 20 and a water tank 29 comprising, on the one hand, a level regulator 30 and, on the other hand, water heating means constituted for example by a coil 33.
- the recycling means also comprise, on the pipe 11 for supplying water to the centrifugal wheel 3, a motorized pump 31 and an adjustment valve 32.
- the humidification of the cereal grains is carried out as follows.
- the previously cleaned cereal grains that is to say removed from all the impurities, are introduced into the pouring funnel 2 which feeds the centrifugal wheel 3.
- This centrifugal wheel 3 is rotated by the shaft 4 so that the centrifugal effect thus created acts on the grains and drives them through the ejection channels 3b.
- This output flow rate can be modified at will by acting directly on the speed of rotation of the centrifugal wheel 3.
- This possibility of intervention is essential, because it makes it possible to act on the time required for grain transfer according to the nature of the grains to be treated and also to adjust the volume of the grains to be humidified according to the performance available to the means. humidification and this to reach the kernel of these grains.
- the cereal grains pass through the annular space 6 determined by the guide tube 5 and the deflector 7 and fall in the form of a more or less dense rain, in the direction of the water mist created by the dynamic effect of the wheel. 10 spray with spray nozzles 15.
- the spraying wheel 10 is rotated under the effect of the water entering the circulation channels 10b and is fed from the tarpaulin 29 through the piping 11, the motorized pump 31 and the adjustment valve 32.
- This wringing tank 16 is rotated at a certain speed by means of the motor shaft 21 and the drive means 24, which has the effect of promoting the creation of a storage slope T, composed cereal grains, which is in the form of a cone converging towards the bottom 16a, and whose outer surface is, on a thin layer, automatically regenerated.
- the water recovered in the tank 17 is evacuated by the tap 19 into the water tank 29 via the piping 20 and the filter 28.
- the water recovered and returned by the piping 11 to the spraying wheel 10 is heated by the coil 33 which improves its diffusion in the heart of the kernel of grains.
- the treatment device according to the present invention is composed of a set of means each having a specificity which is found to be integrated in the course of the humidification process of the cereal grains, making it possible to adjust the amount of water deposited to the grain surface by combining both the water flow regulated by the valve 32 and the speed of rotation of the spin tank 16.
- each parameter i.e. the grain flow rate through the centrifugal wheel, the mist density through the spray wheel, the speed of rotation of the spin tank, can be adjusted separately, for example depending on the nature of the grains to be treated or the type of cereals so as to obtain, in all cases, a uniform humidification and to reach the kernel of the grains and thus an ideal grind.
- the device according to the present invention finds its application in all forms of industry for treating vegetable grains, in particular cereal grains for the milling industry.
