ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for and a method of producing particles of a foodstuff is provided. A liquid form of a sterilized or pasteurized foodstuff is deposited in the form of a film or a strip on a surface of a rotating cooling roller or cooling be1t. The foodstuff is then detached in an at least partly hardened form from the surface of the cooling roller or belt for comminution to the desired particle size. In order to maintain the production of sterilized or pasteurized foodstuff particles, charging and at least partly the hardening of the sterilized or pasteurized foodstuff occurs within an enclosed sterilizable or pasteurizable vessel, and the surface of and the gas surrounding the cooling roller or the cooling belt in the zone of the charging of the foodstuff is lower than 0 ° C.
