Drying of milk with application of the electric fields

Results of the study of milk drying in the thin layer of drying plant with application of electric fields are given. The study has confirmed two times reduction of the drying process duration, and expenditure of the additional energy for electric field creation is much lower than the energy needed for the phase transfer of water in steam. The authors offer to up-grade drum dryer on the basis of the laboratory drum drier for milk. Quality of the milk powder complies with the appropriate requirements.
