Production of feed from potato pulp loss 1. Method of preserving potato pulp

Potatoes are the main raw material for starch production.

The main requirement of starch-yoke production for potato raw materials is its high starchy content. For the production of dry starch, the size of the starch grains is also important. Larger ones increase the yield of higher grades of starch.

The main part of potato dry matter is starch, the content of which is approximately 70-80% of their mass.

Potato pulp. Chemical composition potato pulp as a percentage of the mass of dry substances is as follows: starch - 50, fiber -1. The decrease in the production of dry potato starch is due to a lack of raw materials.

25, soluble carbohydrates - 2.5, minerals - 6.2, crude protein - 6.0, other substances - 10.3.

From 3 to 7% of the mass of absolutely dry potato substances passes into large and fine pulp, depending on the starchiness of the potato variety and the degree of its grinding. The amount of bound starch in the pulp ranges from 40 to 60%, depending on the quality of the grating machines.

With an average content of the indicated components, the yield of pulp, depending on the applied technological production scheme, is characterized by the following data

In its raw form, potato pulp is used for livestock feed or serves as a raw material for the production of additional products from it; it is the main component in raw or dry potato feeds.

Raw, unpressed pulp is sold at a price of 50 kopecks/t (the moisture content of the pulp is not specified in the price list). Pressed pulp is sold at a price of 2 rubles. 50 k. per ton.

Currently, the pulp is mainly sold as livestock feed in its raw form (flowed with a moisture content of 86-87%). The high moisture content in the pulp makes it difficult to transport. Therefore, in a number of factories, due to the difficulty of transportation, it is not fully sold, despite the low price. In order to facilitate transportation and disposal, the pulp must be dehydrated.

Roller presses of the ZPE type are used to dehydrate potato pulp.

The pulp enters the press body, inside which two perforated drums rotate towards each other. The pulp is compressed by these drums; The water released from it passes inside the drums and is discharged outside, the squeezed pulp comes out down through the gap between the drums. One of the drums can be moved with the help of steering wheels in relation to the other to regulate the size of the gap between them. When leaving the press, the pulp pressed out on the drums is loosened using a toothed shaft installed in the lower part of the press body. To better dehydrate the pulp before pressing, lime milk is added to it at the rate of 2-3% CaO per pulp dry matter.

The use of presses makes it possible to obtain pressed pulp with a dry matter content of up to 27%, which reduces the load on transport by 4 times.

Pressed pulp must be fed to livestock immediately, since when stored in the open air, especially in warm weather, it completely loses its feeding properties within 24 hours.

Raw potato feed. It is more advisable to use raw potato feed, which is a mixture of pulp and cell juice, for fattening animals.

Capital investments for the implementation of a scheme involving the production of raw feed from pressed pulp and cell sap (except for capital costs for the production of the main product, dry starch), at a plant with a potato production capacity of 100 tons per day amount to 37 thousand rubles.

Enrichment of potato pulp with protein slurry from cell sap. Isolation of protein from cell sap is based on the ability of potato protein - tuberin - to coagulate at temperatures above 60 °C. Thermal coagulation of protein is carried out by open steam barbation with acidification of the medium to pH 4.7.

Heating the cell sap to a temperature of 80 °C leads to coagulation of approximately 50% of the protein substances it contains. When fattening livestock, they are absorbed by 80%.

Coagulated protein (protein sludge) is separated from the filtrate by decantation or in separators (see diagram at 2.7.3) and can be additionally dehydrated on filter presses and dried or mixed with pressed pulp.

To clarify the protein, cold or slightly warmed cell sap is introduced into the coagulator in thin streams with strong stirring.

filled with hot cell juice with a temperature of 80 ° C. In this case, the protein instantly coagulates without sticking to the heating elements. At the same time, inactivation of oxidative enzymes occurs and the protein turns out lighter.

In 1 t raw feed contains about 100 feed. units Taking the cost of 1 feed. units for 5 kopecks (by analogy with corn feed), you can determine the price of raw feed at 5 rubles. per ton.

Pulp silage. Potato pulp ensiles well without any impurities in pits with waterproof walls and conventional covering (boards, clay, earth). For ensiling, take pressed pulp with a moisture content of about 76% and place it in a hole in layers of 20-25 cm, followed by carefully compacting each layer. Pulp silage is very readily eaten by livestock.

To improve the quality of silage, protein sludge (coagulated protein isolated from cell sap by thermal coagulation) is added to the pulp. When ensiling, the pulp must be thoroughly mixed with protein sludge, compacted well and isolated from air.

Properly prepared silage from potato pulp with protein sludge should be light yellow in color (some darkening of the top layer to a depth of 5-10 cm is acceptable) and have a pleasant sour smell (similar, for example, to the smell of pickled cucumbers and generally inherent in plant material subjected to lactic acid fermentation).

Superficial mold that does not penetrate deep into the mass does not indicate the poor quality of this silage. Darkening of the entire mass of silage into yams, sharp, pungent or generally bad smell shows that the ensiling process did not proceed correctly and pure lactic acid fermentation, which is the basis of ensiling, was not carried out.

Drying the pulp. The production of dry food from pressed pulp and protein sludge is carried out according to the scheme shown in 2.7.4.

In Holland, they use a different method for producing dry protein feed. Undiluted cell sap is concentrated in vacuum devices to 55-57% dry matter content, mixed with pressed pulp and dried to 10-15% moisture content. When evaporating, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature of the juice water does not exceed 50 ° C, since with more high temperature Coagulation of proteins and gelatinization of the starch in the juice occurs, which causes the deposition of sediment (scale) on the heating surface of the evaporators.

Detailed characteristics production process:
The process of producing starch and dehydrated pulp occurs in four main areas that are in close interaction.
  • raw material purification area (drawing 1/5)
  • area for washing and refining starch (drawings 2/5 and 3/5).
  • flour drying area (drawing 4/5)
  • pulp dehydration area (drawing 5/5)

Technological diagrams of these sections are presented in the attached drawings.
Raw materials cleaning area:
The task of the site is to separate the contaminants associated with potatoes. Potatoes delivered to the enterprise by wagons or tractors, motor vehicles, etc. are unloaded by a water dispenser or heads with a strong stream of water into a concrete bunker, at the bottom of which there is a transport channel. Through this channel, the raw materials are supplied to the drum stone catcher, which catches stones and sand, and the raw materials are sent through a chute through a lattice valve further to the potato pump. This pump delivers the potatoes along with water to a transport chute, along the path of which there is a straw trap and an additional stone trap.
At the end of the chute there is a permanent rod dewaterer where the potatoes are separated from the transport water. Transporting water with fine contaminants is discharged to a sand settling tank and, after sand deposition, is used again for transporting potatoes.
Potatoes separated on a rod dehydrator fall onto a potato washer, in which a stream clean water removes the remaining contaminants.
Peeled potatoes from the potato washing machine are fed by a bucket elevator and a screw conveyor to a belt scale and then to the silo. From the silo, potatoes in a certain quantity are supplied to further processing using dispensers.

Starch washing and refining area

The task of the site is to grind potatoes and separate starch from the rest of the potato components, i.e. pulp and dissolved substances.
The work of the site is as follows:

  • A certain amount of potatoes is fed to the graters by a dosing conveyor. One of the graters is a reserve one.
  • In a grater, using a rotating drum equipped with replaceable saw blades, potatoes are crushed to sizes smaller than the size of plant cells in order to extract starch and cell juice from them. After adding small quantity antioxidant, the resulting porridge is pumped to the porridge centrifuges
  • In a porridge centrifuge, under the influence of centrifugal force, partial separation of liquid from solids occurs.
  • The liquid (cell sap) is removed by a pump to the starch sump. In turn, solids, i.e. starch and pulp, together with the remaining part of the cell sap (approx. 30%), go into a mixer in which they are mixed with water or molasses. After obtaining a homogeneous suspension, the pumps supply it through a distributor to the 1st stage porridge washers.
  • The porridge after the 1st stage is fed by a screw conveyor into the porridge hopper and by a pump through a distributor to the 2nd stage washers. Then a screw conveyor into the bunker and a pump through the distributor to the pulp dehydrator (which is the third stage of washing).
  • The condensed pulp is conveyed to a bunker for further use.
  • At the same time, milk (starch washed with water) after each washing step flows into a reservoir with a foam destroyer.
  • Washing machines and dehydrators are rotating cone sieves with horizontal axes, in which, under the interaction of a stream of water from shower heads and centrifugal force, the pulp is separated as a fraction above the sieve.
  • Starch milk from the reservoir is pumped into a distribution tank that feeds the centrifuges. In centrifuges, under the influence of centrifugal force, liquid and starch are separated. The liquid is drained by gravity to the starch settling tank, and the starch in the form of condensed milk flows into a tank with a stirrer. A further portion of the antioxidant is supplied to this reservoir.

The described method of operation is the simplest, requiring minimum quantity equipment and providing best quality product, also with poor quality of raw materials used.

It is possible to make other connections in which the amount of water used can be significantly reduced. This depends on local conditions, mainly on the method of wastewater treatment.
The process then proceeds as follows:

  • The pump, through a self-cleaning filter and a hydrocyclone that removes sand, delivers the milk to the first-stage cleaning sieves, where the so-called small fibers are separated.
  • Cleaning sieves operate on a principle similar to the scourers described above. Starch milk, freed from small fibers on stage I cleaning sieves, is collected in a tank and pumped to the installation of stage I multihydrocyclones.
  • In multihydrocyclones, starch milk is separated under the influence of centrifugal force. The low concentration overflow flows into the reservoir and the effluent from the hydrocyclones is directed into the reservoir. Here, mixing occurs with the milk flowing from the overflow of the III stage multihydrocyclone installation and the pump delivers the milk through a self-cleaning filter to the II stage cleaning sieves. Small fibers from the 1st stage sieves are directed to the mixer, and from the 2nd stage to the tank. The sifted milk is sent to the tank. Then the pump takes the milk and supplies it to the second stage multihydrocyclone installation. The overflow from this stage is directed into the reservoir, and those leaving the installation into the reservoir. The milk is diluted in the tank clean water and molasses from a vacuum dehydrator to the appropriate thickness.
  • Then the pump supplies the milk to the third stage multihydrocyclone installation. What comes out of this installation, in the form of thick, refined milk, is collected in a tank equipped with a stirrer.
  • The milk is pumped further to vacuum dehydrators. In the dehydrator, under the influence of vacuum, starch is dehydrated to a content of 36 to 38% of dry matter. The dehydrated starch is conveyed to the drying section by conveyor.

Flour drying area:
The job of the area is to dry the starch and then cool, homogenize, sift and bag the finished product.
The starch is dried in a pneumatic dryer using a stream of air heated by diaphragms with water vapor. The dryer consists of an air inlet, an air heater filter, a drying duct, cyclones with a collector and fans - discharge and suction.
The incoming air temperature is adjusted automatically. The drying process is controlled measuring instruments temperature, pressure and steam flow. Dried potato flour is fed by pneumatic transport and a screw conveyor into a homogenization hopper with a beam mixer.
To impart uniformity to the properties of the finished product, a hopper is designed in which flour is constantly mixed using a transport system consisting of a beam mixer, a bucket elevator and screw conveyors.
The homogeneous product is conveyed to the burat by conveyors with adjustable productivity. Finished product after sifting, it is collected in a storage bin and then packaged using conveyors and a beam mixer equipped with a mixer filler.
The entire system is maintained at negative pressure created by an aspiration unit, which prevents dust in the room.

Pulp dewatering area

The pulp obtained after the last washing step contains approx. 8% dry matter and may be the final waste that can be used.
Wanting to increase the dry matter content in the pulp, we send it using conveyor B.18 to hopper D.1, from where we use pump D.2 to centrifuge D.3, where water is separated and the pulp is thickened to approx. 18% dry matter.
The condensed pulp is conveyed by screw conveyor D.4 into the pulp reservoir D.5 or into a concrete bunker.
Electrical equipment:
The delivery includes:

  • distribution devices
  • control panels
  • control cabinet
  • cables in the amount necessary for maintaining and monitoring the technological process.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF WORK

1.1. Relevance of the topic. In "Main directions of economic and social development USSR as of 1986.-. .1990 and for the period 10 2000" provides for a significant increase in livestock production. Of major importance for solving these problems is the expanded strengthening of the feed base through the use of by-products (waste) of the food and processing industry, including potato and starch production

In the country, up to 1.5 million tons of potatoes are processed annually into starch, and into production by-products - pulp and potato juice goes over $40 of potato dry matter. Potato pulp and juice, containing starch, protein, fiber, fats and other substances, represent the most valuable raw material resource for meeting the feed needs of livestock farming. However, at present, waste from potato starch production is not completely sold for feed purposes, so in the country the loss of potato pulp amounts to more than $15, and loss of juice - $80. This situation with the use of by-products of starch production is mainly due to their high humidity (94...96$) and a very large volume of formation. The lack of special equipment for concentrating waste leads to the fact that starch factories are forced to dump part of the pulp and cartoychelle juice into waste water. Wastewater, which has high biological activity, enters water bodies and pollutes the water, which causes environmental damage to the environment.

The most promising technologies for processing production waste into livestock feed are the use of mechanical dehydration, which ensures the concentration of potato pulp and solves the problem of producing food protein contained in juice.

However, the practical implementation of mechanical dehydration of potato pulp and technology for preparing feed from waste from potato-starch production is hampered due to the lack of necessary equipment for their implementation. Therefore, theoretical and experimental research aimed at modernizing the technology of preparing feed from by-products of potato-starch production and developing a reliable waterproofing system: kzr?e£elye0l pulp yael.t?)? .channnnx tasks

1.2. Purpose and objectives of the research.

1.9. Volume of work. The dissertation consists of an introduction, 5 sections, conclusions and recommendations for production, a list of references of 105 titles and 5 appendices. The work is presented on 221 pages, including 135 pages of main text, 35 drawings and

II tables.

The introduction contains a brief rationale for the relevance of the topic.

2.1, In the first section " Modern methods and means for preparing feed from potato starch by-products. bodstee" based on published works, the main sections are presented.

information about the composition and types of by-products of potato starch production, and issues of the effectiveness of their use in animal husbandry are considered. Marked various ways preparation of feed from potato starch production waste. The basis of all technologies is the mechanical dehydration of potato pulp. Technologies using mechanical dehydration make it possible to concentrate potato pulp and work to solve the problem of food protein contained in juice.

The analysis of patent and scientific and technical literature showed that with a wide variety of dehydrator press designs, there is no reliable equipment for dehydrating potato pulp. Efficient work dehydrators largely depends on the right choice their main parameters based on the study of physical and mechanical properties and the dehydration process of the processed material. Significant experience in theoretical and experimental research on the mechanical release of liquid from dispersed materials has been accumulated in soil mechanics, wet fractionation of green plants, chemical, food and other industries. These issues are discussed in the works of H.H. Gersevanova, V.A. Florina, K.F. Terpilovsky, V.I. Fomina, I.I. Iodo, V.A., Nuzhikova, N.I., Gelperina, T.A. Malinovskaya, A.Ya. Sokolova, A.A. Gelgera, A.B. Ivanenko and a number of other researchers. An analysis of theories on the dehydration of dispersed materials showed that the process of dehydration of potato pulp has been extremely insufficiently studied.

The process of potato pulp dehydration can be described on the basis of various theoretical approaches. If we consider the process of dehydration of potato pulp as two combined stages, the first is the thickening of the original pulp to 85...90%, and the second is the mechanical pressing of the condensed mass, then in principle, in its essence, the first stage corresponds to the laws of filtration, and the second - the laws of filtration consolidation .

In accordance with the stated purpose of the work and based on the results of the review and analysis of the literature, research objectives are formulated at the end of the section.

2.2. The second section, “Physical and mechanical properties of potato pulp,” outlines the program, methodology and results of research into the physical and mechanical properties of potato pulp. The study of these properties is necessary for the development of technology and equipment for dehydration of potato pulp. Therefore, the task of the research was to determine the numerical indicators of the main properties at high

viyas corresponding to dehydration regimes.

In accordance with the task, the following were determined: the density of solid particles of potato pulp, the change in friction coefficients, lateral pressure and filtration-compression characteristics from the squeezing pressure. The density of solid particles of potato megts lies in the range of 1026...1040 kg/m3. It has been established that the numerical values ​​of the coefficients of friction of potato pulp on a smooth steel surface decrease from 0.135 to 0.10, and on a perforated brass surface - from 0.37 to 0.24 with increasing spin pressure from 0.35 to 2.0 MPa. The coefficient of internal friction of the pulp decreases from 0.66 to 0.24 with an increase in squeezing pressure from 0.40 to 2.83 MPa, and the coefficient of lateral pressure decreases from 0.9 to 0.68.

It has been established that the process of filtration of juice from squeezed pulp is significantly influenced by filtration and compression characteristics. When the spin pressure increases from 0.20 to 2.60 MPa, the filtration coefficient decreases from 60 "НГ9 to 0.73 * 10 ~ 9 m/s, the compressibility coefficient - from 5.13 * 10"® to O^bTO "6 and pressure modulus - from 1.56 to 0.17. The porosity coefficient of the brain decreases from 9.0 to 1.1 when humidity decreases from 90 to 52.36%.

2.3. In the third section, “Theoretical prerequisites for substantiating the parameters of a double-sided compression screw pulp press,” the existing criteria for assessing the working process of dispersed materials dehydrators are considered, the design of a potato pulp dehydrator is proposed, the process of squeezing the pulp in a double-sided compression pulp press is theoretically studied, and a generalized model is obtained that describes the dehydration process . Analytical expressions are proposed to determine the basic geometric parameters of a double-sided compression screw press.

The proposed criterion for assessing the dehydrator’s work process is:

Pv (\Usr-\ChT)- (SO O- W/i)-(40Q-Wg) ■ Wu, j

Co ~ fWp- Wil) ■ (Wu - Wr)*- ü- JOO > ^ 1 >

where £a is the generalized criterion, kW"h"?! /T;

Py - power consumption, kW;

Wu, W

This criterion characterizes the specific energy consumption per unit reduction in moisture content of the pressed product. Yari po-

Based on the power of the generalized criterion, it was revealed that promising designs are presses with screw working bodies, working in conjunction with devices that provide filtering of liquid during the movement of the suspension.

The proposed potato pulp dehydrator (Fig. I) consists of two interconnected devices - a thickener I and a double-sided compression screw press 2. The pulp thickener contains a vertical cylindrical-conical body 3 with a tangential pipe 4 for supplying the suspension, a pipe 5 for the filtrate outlet and a pipe b for the removal of the thickened sediment. . On pipe 5, the surface of which is perforated, an inertial cleaner 7 is coaxially installed. The inertial cleaner is a paddle wheel with scrapers located along the perforated pipe and rotating together with the paddle wheel around the pipe. The screw press consists of a frame 8, a perforated cylinder 3, at the ends of which there are necks 10 for receiving material from the thickener. Inside the perforated cylinder there is a screw II with a variable shaft diameter, increasing towards the middle. The screw is made of two symmetrical parts with opposite directions of spirals and a constant pitch. In the middle of the perforated cylinder there is a window 12 for the exit of the boiled pulp and a device for regulating the degree of dehydration, made of two conical disks 13 located on both sides of the window and capable of symmetrical movement along the perforated cylinder. Filtrate collectors 14 are installed under the cylinder.

The design features of the dehydrator include the following. Pulp thickeners are installed above the source material bins. The neck press at opposite ends of the perforated cylinder has loading necks for the product, and in the middle there is a double-sided compression section. The screw is made symmetrical relative to the middle with an opposite spiral and a gap in the area of ​​the outlet window for removing the pressed product. This design of the press allows the material to be compacted on both sides with uniformly distributed pressure, thereby increasing the degree of dehydration of the pulp and increasing productivity theoretically by two times compared to single-sided pressing presses. The radial output of the pressed product contributes to the stable: *: holding of the “plug” of devolved material in the area of ​​the exit window, which stabilizes the working process of the press, - In the snack: press with sserle forces smm"/etrich -

Their sides of the screw are directed towards each other and theoretically cancel each other, and this makes it possible to abandon special thrust bearings.

Due to the greater knowledge of thickening devices and the limited scope of the dissertation, the task of the research was to theoretically and experimentally substantiate a double-sided compression screw press.

The process of dehydrating potato gas in a double-sided compression screw press has two characteristic zones. From the loading necks of the press to the end of the last turns of the screw is the spin zone, from the end of the last turns to the discharge window is the compaction zone. By studying the process of pulp dehydration in the squeezing zone of a screw press, a general formula was obtained. A quantitative equation described this process. It looks like this:

Coefficient a. reflects the relationship of both design parameters and physical and mechanical properties of the pressed pulp.

In order for the solution of equation (2) to be completely definite, the function ¿) must satisfy the boundary conditions corresponding to the physical conditions of the problem. For the process of squeezing liquid from potato pulp in the device being developed (Fig. 2), we select the following initial and boundary conditions:

The stability of the proposed press depends on the formation and holding of a “plug” from the pressed material in the area of ​​the outlet window. The stability of the “plug” primarily depends on the length of the compaction zone located between the ends of the last turns of the screw.

Since the ice press of double-sided compression is symmetrical relative to the H-H axis, we consider that in this section there is a conditional partition, to the right and left of which the same pressure is applied. This allows us to consider both parts of the press separately (Fig. 3). To determine the optimal length of the compaction zone, consider the equilibrium of the elementary layer s/g. at a distance of 2 from the H-H axis. Under the influence of force factors arising during the compaction process; axial pressures Pr and (Pas^P^), lateral pressures, the equilibrium equation will have the form:

where P is the cross-sectional area of ​​the selected layer; tR;

Ra is the pressure in the suction at a distance of /2 from the H-H.N/m2 axis; - lateral pressure coefficient; th-, - width of the outlet window, m. Due to the fact that the pressed product is removed from the press in the diametrical direction, then in the area of ​​the outlet window where the axial movement of the pulp changes to radial, the layers of pulp move relative to each other, which must be taken into account by input coefficient of internal friction /th. Therefore, let’s draw up a differential equation for the equilibrium of a selected element of material with thickness с|_р at a distance £ from the axis of the screw shaft at the moment of its shift in the direction of the outlet window (Fig. 36):

where is the backing pressure on the tach from the window, N/m^.

From Eyrakpng.ya (II) it follows that the lateral pressure increases in the near future as it approaches the screw shaft and at the same time

The analysis of regression models was carried out using two-dimensional sections (Fig. 4) and at the same time a complex problem was solved, in which it was necessary to find the values ​​of factors that provide a minimum of energy costs. spinning, with a high degree of dehydration of potato pulp. As a result, the following optimal parameters were obtained: initial moisture content of the pulp 90$, output window width 0.,011..,0.015 m, spinning frequency 4.0...6.0 rpm. In this case, the moisture content of the pressed material is in the lengths of 58...65$, and the energy intensity is only about

The presented graphical dependencies show that the convergence of the results of theoretical and experimental studies is quite high, the error does not exceed 5.0%. Therefore, the theoretical model (14) can be used to substantiate the parameters of a double-sided stack press.

During the experimental studies, the dependences of the productivity of the screw press for the initial pulp, liquid and solid pressed fractions on the width of the outlet window and the screw rotation speed were also revealed.

The fifth section “Production tests, implementation of research results and their economic efficiency” presents the program, methodology and test results, provides a proposed technological scheme for the preparation of feed from by-products of potato-starch production, as well as the methodology and results of calculating the economic effect from the implementation of the developed ■ dehydrator as part of a line for recycling potato pulp for livestock feed.

Tests of a pilot production sample of a potato pulp dehydrator were carried out at the Ibred starch and syrup plant (Ryazan region). The stump press of the dehydrator had a diameter of pgepa of 0.205 and the total for the perforated cylinder was 2.0 and, on

in the loading necks of which two thickeners were installed with an internal diameter of the cylindrical part of the body of 0.04 m. During the tests, the productivity of the dehydrator, the energy intensity and the moisture content of the pressed potato pulp were determined.

Figure 6 shows the results of production tests of the dehydrator. As can be seen from the figure, when the width of the press exit window increases, the productivity of the dehydrator increases and the energy intensity of the process decreases, but at the same time the moisture content of the pressed material increases.

Analysis of the results of production tests of the dehydrator made it possible to recommend dates for obtaining dehydrated pulp with a moisture content of 70...75% at a feed pressure of the initial mixture of 0.3...O.35 Sha and a screw rotation speed of "6.,O rpm, regulation range and irin. output o;sha 0.015...O.02 and, in this case, the productivity will be 5.2...6.0 t/h,

We propose to improve the technology for the production of dry and raw feed and by-products of potato-starch production in two ways, depending on the capacity of the processing plants (RLS.7). According to the first option

The suspension (a mixture of pulp and potato pulp) is divided into two fractions by mechanical dehydration: tvorda and liquid.

and production

I. Feed preparation process

It is recommended to carry out the production of by-products from potato medicinal production using two technologies. The first technology includes the separation of the initial mixture of pulp and potato juice into solid and liquid fractions, thermal coagulation of the pulp in the liquid fraction, its thickening and mixing with the original mixture, solid enrichment; irada with protein during mechanical

dehydration of the resulting mixture, formation of monoliths from the solid fraction and drying them, which ensures the production of a feed product with a high protein content. The second technology involves separating the initial mixture of meegi with potato juice using mechanical dehydration into liquid and solid fractions, removing the liquid fraction from production and using the solid fraction for livestock feed, resulting in a feed product in the form of potato pulp with a moisture content of 70$ and a content of 0. 3 k.vd. in one kilogram. The basis of these technologies is the mechanical dehydration of potato pulp.

2. A comparative assessment of dehydrators of various designs should be carried out according to a generalized criterion that takes into account the specific energy consumption to reduce a unit of moisture content of the product being squeezed. Using a generalized criterion, it was revealed that promising designs are presses with screw working bodies, operating in conjunction with devices that ensure “liquid filtration” during the movement of the suspension,

3. The design and technological scheme of the potato pulp dehydrator should include a double-sided compression screw press and centrifugal thickeners with a self-cleaning filtering surface installed on its loading necks, which ensures dewatering of the pulp in two stages by thickening and mechanical squeezing, which allows you to remove up to b from the dehydrated product % moisture. G"

The press must be made with a working body consisting of two screws with conical shafts, connected by large bases in the area of ​​the outlet window by means of a cylindrical insert that does not have a winding. Both screws must be enclosed in perforated cylinders with slots for filtering juice with dimensions of 0.25 x 5.0 mm. Between the cylinders it is necessary to place a window with an adjustable cross-section for the exit of the pressed product, and at the opposite ends there are loading necks. This design of the press allows the product to be compacted on both sides with evenly distributed pressure, thereby increasing the degree of pulp dewatering by 15% and increasing productivity by approximately two times compared to single-sided compression screw presses.

The developed generalized model of dehydration shows that the moisture content of pressed potato pulp in a double-sided compression shock press depends on the design and kinematic parameters

press unit and physical and mechanical properties of the removed product.

4. It has been established that the numerical values ​​of the coefficients of friction of potato pulp on a smooth steel surface decrease from 0.135 to 0.10, and on a perforated brass surface - from 0.37 to 0.24 with increasing spin pressure from 0.35 to 2.0 Sha. When the spin pressure increases from 0.40 to 2.83 Sha, the coefficient of internal friction of the pulp decreases from 0.66 to 0.24, and the coefficient of lateral pressure decreases from 0.9 to 0.68.

It has been established that the process of filtration of juice from squeezed pulp is significantly influenced by compression and filtration characteristics. When the spin pressure increases from 0.2 to 2.6 MPa, the filtration coefficient decreases from 60 to 0.73 * 10 ~ 9 m/s, the compressibility coefficient - from 5.13 "KG5 to 0.06" 10-6 m^/N and the press capacity module - from 1.56 to 0.17. The pulp porosity coefficient when the humidity decreases from 90 l to 52.38? decreases from 9.0 to 1.1.

5. Laboratory studies of a model of a double-sided compression screw press have shown that its design is efficient and can be used for pressed potato pulp.

Optimization of the working process of a screw press using the method of two-dimensional sections of the obtained multifactor regression models made it possible to establish that with an initial moisture content of the initial product of $90, to obtain pressed pulp with a moisture content of $58...65, the following parameter values ​​are required: screw rotation speed 4.0...6, 0 rpm; width of the press exit window 0.011...0.015 m; energy consumption only for the waste process is 0.6...0.3 kW*h/t.

6. Production tests of a pilot production sample of a potato pulp dehydrator, developed on the basis of theoretical studies and a laboratory model of the press, showed that1 the regulation of the technological parameters of the process must be carried out by changing the width of the outlet window of the screw press. With its increase from 0.01 to 0.03 m at a supply pressure of the initial mixture of pulp with potato juice of 0.30...O.35 Sha, productivity increases from 4.9 to 6.63 t/h, and the humidity of the squeezed pulp increases from 63 .37 to 77.07^, and the energy intensity of the dehydration process decreases from 1.94 to 0.8 kRT h/t.

7. For stable operation of the dehydrator in production systems for the production of potato juice and potato juice with an initial moisture content of 0, 30... 0.3? ".:~a, frequency watt;?cue screw 6.0 rpm, width of the output window

8. The economic effect of the introduction of the developed dehydrated gel as part of the line for recycling potato pulp for livestock feed Yutavit is 6,786 rubles when producing 6,000 tons of dehydrated feed with a cost of $75.

Potatoes are not only a valuable food crop and feed product used in livestock farming, but also one of the most common types of raw materials for a number of branches of the food industry, in particular the alcohol and starch paste industries. Nitrogen-free extractives are represented in potatoes by starch, sugars and some amount of ientosan. Depending on the storage conditions of potatoes, the sugar content in them varies noticeably and in some cases can exceed 5%. Nitrogenous substances in potatoes consist mainly of soluble proteins and amino acids, which account for up to 80% of the total amount of protein substances. According to the conditions of starch production technology, soluble substances are usually lost with wash waters. The production waste at potato starch factories is pulp, which after partial dehydration (humidity 86-87%) is used as livestock feed.

The starch content in the pulp depends on the degree of potato grinding. According to M.E. Burman, in large, well-equipped plants, the coefficient of starch extraction from potatoes is 80-83%, and in low-capacity plants it is 75%. Its increase is associated with a significant increase in the energy capacity of the enterprise, and, consequently, capital costs. Currently, at some leading enterprises of the starch and syrup industry it reaches 86% and higher. Pulp used as feed is a low-value and perishable product. 1 kg of pulp contains 0.13 feed units, while fresh potatoes contain 0.23. Feeding fresh pulp to livestock should be limited. When processing potatoes in specialized starch factories, 80-100% of the pulp by weight of the potato is obtained, and a significant part of it often remains unsold.

Use of potato solubles

Many years of experience in the starch industry have shown that the problem of using potato solubles is one of the most difficult. It is still not permitted either at domestic starch factories or at foreign enterprises. Even in pre-revolutionary Russia, in order to more efficiently use potato pulp, it began to be processed at distilleries located near starch factories. However, according to G. Fota, such processing turned out to be unprofitable due to the low alcohol content in the mash. Some distilleries in Czechoslovakia used combined processing of potatoes into starch and alcohol, in which they used not only potato pulp, but also part of the concentrated washing water.

This technique not only increased the utilization rate of starch, but also made it possible to partially use the soluble substances of potatoes. Below is a diagram of the balance of potato dry matter during the combined production of starch and alcohol at a pilot plant in Norway. In the USSR, M.E. Burman and E.I. Yurchenko proposed combining starch and alcohol production on a fundamentally new basis. It is recommended to extract only 50-60% of starch from potatoes, which makes it possible to transfer the pulp richer in starch for processing into alcohol, and also to simplify the process of starch isolation by eliminating the operations of repeated washing of the pulp and secondary grinding.

With this method of potato processing, production efficiency is ensured by the following factors: almost complete use of the starch contained in potatoes for the production of basic products (starch and alcohol); receiving stillage instead of low-value pulp -. very valuable nutritious feed for livestock; the use of most of the soluble substances of potatoes in the alcohol workshop or for microbiological production organized at distilleries; reduction of transport and general plant costs; savings on capital investments in the construction of a starch shop according to a simplified scheme at an existing plant.

The method of combining the production of starch and alcohol based on a distillery has found wide application in industry. By 1963, more than 60 potato starch shops were put into operation at distilleries. Technological schemes for the production of starch are based on the above-mentioned principle, however, in the hardware design they are somewhat different from each other. Below is a diagram proposed by M.E. Burman and E.I. Yurchenko for the Berezinsky plant. It provides for the use in alcohol production of not only potato pulp, but also soluble potato substances. The latter are released in the form of cell sap on a shaking sieve when the potato porridge is slightly diluted with water.

To separate the starch, the cell juice is sent to a sedimentation centrifuge, after which it is sent to a collection of products transferred to the alcohol workshop. The pulp is washed on a two-tier extractor or shaking sieve and sent to a pulp press, then enters the collection. Mud starch from traps is also supplied to the distillery for processing. Starch milk is purified from soluble substances in a sedimentary centrifuge, and from fine pulp - in refining sieves.

Its final cleaning takes place on the gutters. The separation of potato soluble substances is provided before the starch is washed out from the porridge, in order to obtain potato cell sap in a slightly diluted form and not to reduce the concentration of dry substances in the mixture of products entering the distillery. However, as factory experiments have shown, a shaking sieve is an unsuitable apparatus for isolating concentrated cell sap. According to the author's research, on a sieve with an area of ​​2.5 m2 with twill mesh No. 43, with a potato productivity of 1.0 thousand per 1 m2 of sieve and a vibration frequency of 1000-1200 per minute, cell juice from undiluted porridge is released in small quantities. In table Table 1 shows data characterizing the release of cell sap when potato porridge is diluted with water.

The method relates to feed production. The method consists of adding granulated sulfur or sodium hypochlorite solution to the crushed pulp at a consumption of 1.8-2.3 g and 420-25 ml per 1 kg of silage mass, respectively. The method allows to reduce nutrient losses. 1 table

The invention relates to livestock farming, specifically to methods for preserving feed, and can be used for silage.

Feed canning is widely used in feed production to increase the safety of feed.

Various chemicals are used as preservatives - acids, salts, organic substances. Chemical preservatives, as a result of transformations in feed, help lower the pH of the environment, inhibit undesirable microflora and produce high-quality feed.

In starch-molasses production, potato pulp is formed as a by-product - a watery, poorly transportable product, which is immediately used as livestock feed, because it quickly deteriorates or is subjected to ensiling. Due to the presence of carbohydrates in the pulp, fermentation occurs, and silage is obtained, suitable for feeding to farm animals. However, relatively high nutrient losses occur.

The technical result is the use of available preservatives to reduce nutrient losses. This is achieved by the fact that in the proposed method for preserving potato pulp, locally produced chemical preservatives are used - granulated sulfur - a waste product from the purification of petroleum products (TU 2112-061-1051465-02) at a consumption of 1.8-2.3 g/kg or sodium hypochlorite - the preparation "Belizna" after dilution with water in a ratio of 1:9 at a consumption of 20-25 ml/kg of weight.

Composition of potato pulp, wt.%:

Granulated sulfur is a hemispherical yellow granule with a diameter of 2-5 mm containing the main substance - sulfur - at least 99.5% wt. organic acids 0.01% with a bulk mass of 1.04-1.33 g/cm3.

The drug "Belizna" is a commercial product - a solution of sodium hypochlorite with a concentration of up to 90 g/l.

Under silage conditions, under the influence of enzymes and potato pulp juice, chemical transformations of sulfur occur with the formation of hydrogen sulfide, sulfites and sulfates. These compounds, as well as sodium hypochlorite, have bactericidal properties and suppress the development of unwanted microflora. At the same time, the activity of lactic acid bacteria is practically not inhibited, the silage mass is acidified, resulting in good-quality silage. The available literature contains no data on the use of chemical preservatives when ensiling pulp.

Example. In laboratory conditions, crushed potato pulp with a humidity of 80.0% is loaded into sealed containers layer by layer, granulated sulfur is added - a waste product from the production of petroleum products at the rate of 2 g/kg, in the second option - diluted preparation "Belizna" (1:9) at the rate of 20 ml /kg, in the third option - without preservatives, compacted, hermetically sealed and left for storage at room temperature. After 35 days, the containers are opened and the quality of the silos is assessed. They obtain high-quality silage with the smell of pickled vegetables with a pH of 3.9-4.1.
