Apparatus for conditioning of organic materials

1. Apparatus for conditioning of organic materials comprising:

a conditioning chamber having a bottom;

an inlet gate located on top of the conditioning chamber; and

an outlet gate located at the bottom of the conditioning chamber for discharging the conditioned material;

said conditioning chamber deviating from the vertical direction by an angle (α) in a range from 0° to 80° and comprising:

a set of nozzles supplying thermodynamic medium, and

immobilizing means placed in an upper part of the conditioning chamber, the set of nozzles and the immobilizing means being located on opposite sidewalls of the conditioning chamber such that the thermodynamic medium flowing through said set of nozzles places the organic material flowing down from the inlet gate onto the immobilizing means and flows over the conditioned organic material placed on the immobilizing means.

2. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the immobilizing means is a net.

3. Apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the net is a net of a conveyor belt with adjustable speed of movement.

4. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the conditioning chamber has a vertical configuration.

5. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the thermodynamic medium is selected from the group consisting of steam, air, gases, vapors, their solutions and aerosols.

6. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the set of nozzles is covered by a bottom sieve.

7. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the conditioning chamber deviates from the vertical direction by an angle of about 40°.
