The design of a thermal-radiation single-drum roll dryer with a combined method of heat supply, application and cutting of the dried layer of raw materials was developed. The dryer allows obtaining a powder fraction of a semi-finished product with a solids content of 3...5 %. Such a design solution will make it possible to obtain a high-quality semi-finished product due to low-temperature drying. The effective viscosity of the studied pastes produced by blending apple, sea buckthorn, black chokeberry, beet and pumpkin purees was determined. Adding different percentages of raw materials to apple paste increases the effective viscosity by 9...18 %. According to the results of the organoleptic evaluation, the sample with the following composition turned out to be the best: apple – 30 %, sea buckthorn – 20 %, black chokeberry – 15 %, beet – 15 % and pumpkin – 20 %. The drying time of the blended paste with a solids content of 45 % at a temperature of 65 °C and different layer thicknesses of application to the working surface (8, 6 and 4 mm) is 75, 60 and 56 min, respectively. All the samples of pastes have a reddish-purple color with a wavelength of 610.5...614.5 nm and a tone purity of 66.5...78.8 %. The wavelength of the dried fraction is 495...615.3 nm with a tone purity of 34.3...34.8 %, from bluish-red to bluish-purple. The brightness of the samples after drying decreases within 3...4 %. The obtained color change values and drying time of the samples confirm the possibility of using the improved dryer to obtain high-quality vegetable semi-finished products of the dried fraction. The experimental data will be useful in design calculations and testing of the developed dryer in order to obtain its maximum efficiency

“…However, the reported results are mostly aimed at determining the technological component leaving the technical component unattended, in terms of the uniformity of heat supply, the degree of juice loss, and the ef-ficiency of the equipment used, in particular the steam bath in the sous-vide technology. For example, work [9] provides a hardware-technological solution aimed at the development of a device for low-temperature processing of meat products by IR radiation in a gentle temperature range of 63...85 °C indicating the received organoleptic properties. However, the structure is characterized by a certain range of products and does not make it possible to produce a wide range of meat culinary products, which, in turn, requires research to minimize the geometric impact on the technological process.…”

Culinary meat products, in particular, delicacies, account for a significant share of the diet in many countries of the world, predetermining the need to introduce innovative solutions for the production of products of a wide range of use with original taste properties. A structure of the device for low-temperature processing of meat delicacies involving the heating of the working surface with a flexible film resistive electric heater of radiative type has been developed. Temperature control is carried out with a needle thermocouple. That makes it possible to cool the delicacy to 25...30 °C by autonomous fans during the conversion of secondary thermal energy by Peltier elements. It was established that the low voltage at the temperature of 70...80 °C is 4...6 W, and, at 25...30 °C, it is, respectively, 1.5...3 W. A comparative analysis has been performed of the heat treatment of meat delicacy in the traditional way and in the developed apparatus upon reaching 71...75 °C inside the product. The temperature for a traditional machine, after 5 minutes of processing, is 15...17 °C at the contact surface and 8 °C at the center. For the model structure, the temperature of the contact surface is 7...8 °C, and 4...5 °C in the center. After 25 minutes of processing in the traditional way, the temperature in the center was 17...18 °C, in the near-wall layers ‒ 60 °C. In the model structure, 8...9 °C, at a temperature of the near-wall layers of 25 °C. The temperature difference from the center to the near-wall layer, depending on the processing time in the traditional way, ranges from 10 to 50 °C, and, in the model apparatus, from 4 to 24 °C. The model device provides a uniform heat supply under conditions of achievement of 71…75 °C in the center of a product with a reduction of specific cost by 2.6 times in comparison with a traditional technique. The ham prepared in the developed apparatus is characterized by uniform coloration, juiciness, and natural original taste

“…by using Peltier elements. Works [35,36] describe the advantages of using Peltier elements and their effectiveness, at the small size of their contact surfaces, to form, in particular, low-volt power voltage. Consequently, this approach allows them to be used in heat and mass exchange devices for the conversion of secondary energy in accordance with engineering and technological needs, predetermining the expediency of research into this area.…”

This paper reports the improved model design of an auger thermo-radiation dryer for drying plant-derived pomace under a low-temperature mode (35...80 °C) to the resulting moisture content at the level of 8...13 % of solids. The dryer has an adjustable speed of auger rotation (3...4 min–1), of airflow (0.05...0.09 m/s), and is characterized by the uniform distribution of heat flux. It is equipped with an energy-saving two-circuit complex that utilizes secondary energy to heat primary air from 21.1 °C to 28.9 °C. The use of Peltier elements, installed at the heating technical surface of the dryer's auger, makes it possible to convert thermal energy into a low-voltage supply voltage for the autonomous supercharger and exhaust fans. The duration of pomace drying in the model structure of the auger thermo-radiation dryer has been determined, in particular tomato pomace, with an initial content of 75 % of solids, which is 107 min. For apple pomace whose starting content of solids is 65 %, it is 98 min. For comparison, the duration of the convective drying of tomato pomace (75 % of solids) is 120 minutes. The drying was carried out at a temperature of 60 °C to the resulting moisture content of 10...12 % of solids. Organoleptic evaluation on the example of tomato pomace confirms the effectiveness of structural solutions in the auger dryer compared to the convective technique. The results reported in this study could create conditions for the further design and implementation of the proposed structure of thermo-radiation dryer for drying plant-derived pomace involving an altered heat supply technique and the utilization of secondary energy. The designed structure of the device makes it possible to process and preserve the quality properties of plant-derived pomace, allowing the use of this product for a wide range of foodstuffs
