TEKMASH® PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY AND RELEVANT
EQUIPMENT
TEKMASH® group developed a soy processing
technology (which can also be applied for wheat and peas processing),
where grinding and thermal processing is carried out in anaerobic
conditions in specially designed nozzles with the utilization
of hydrodynamic phenomena. Steam and conventional heat exchangers
are not used in this process. The equipment operation principle
is based on a direct energy transformation with efficiency
factor not less than 90%.
The crushing, heating and mixing processes of the content
of equipment reservoir are carried out simultaneously by means
of continuous circulation in the following contour: reservoir-pump-nozzle-reservoir.
Soy beans are effectively crushed In the circulation process
by colliding streams, micro hydroblows in specially designed
nozzles, as well as by friction of soy beans particles against
one another.

more about the jet stream here.
The processing unit comprises an electric- or diesel-driven
pump, a reservoir where the ingredients (soy, water and additives)
are loaded and a special nozzle, where soy crushing and mixture
heating occurs. Automatic sensors control the required processing
temperature.

Soy paste production procedure for TEK-SM
equipment
- The processing technology cycle starts with a soaking
of rinsed and cleaned beans. The beans soaking time varies
from 6-12 hours (cold water) to 2-4 hours (hot water).
- The soaked beans are loaded in the unit reservoir together
with the water left over after soy soaking.
- The reservoir lid is closed and the unit is turned on.
- In the circulation process the reservoir content heats
up quickly. When the temperature reaches 221°-230°F
(105°-110°C), the unit is automatically switched
off and the mixture matures for 1020 minutes for the most
effective decomposition of harmful compounds contained in
soy.
- The discharge of ready-to-use product (soy paste) is carried
out through the positive reservoir pressure. After the discharge
the unit is ready for a new processing cycle**.
The technological cycle duration is about 1 hour.
*
For the freshest product it is recommended to prepare
soy paste 2 times a day. The total time for raw soy preparation,
cooking and equipment disinfection does not exceed 3-4 hours.
**
at the end of equipment operation, it is filled with water
and disinfected by the water heated to the boiling point.
The technology does
not require beans shelling, and the water left over after
soy soaking is not drained away, but used for soy paste preparation.
That is why all nutritive ingredients solved in water (proteins,
saccharides, vitamins) get to the end product. This means
the suggested technology is wasteless and environment friendly.
Since no steam generators or heat exchange equipment is used,
the amount of electricity required for the processing of 1lb
of soy beans is only 0.23-0.27 kWhour.
Taking into consideration the reduction of energy consumption
by 4-5 times comparing to the conventional wet processing
in the soy cows, no environment pollution, it becomes evident
that the developed technology has very good prospects for
broad introduction, especially in CIS countries.
Additional advantages:
- the equipment is self-cleaned, i.e. the internal surfaces
of the equipment do not require mechanical cleaning;
- the equipment can be used for water heating or steam generation
required for other technological purposes including the
equipment disinfection.
