Process for producing processed organic product and apparatus therefor

Abstract

A process and apparatus for producing a processed organic product containing organic matters having a superior nutrient balance and exhibiting high performances in water retention and gas permeation. The process involves supplying the raw material containing organic fibrous substance to a reactor provided therein with a plurality of main screws arranged side by side so as to confront the peripheral edges of the screw threads of neighboring screws with each other such that each acts to forward the reaction mixture in substantially the same direction at a velocity different from each other, effecting a biological or biochemical reaction therein while subjecting the organic fibrous substance to axial splitting and breaking by the main screws and taking out a processed organic product via a processed product exit port , which is then dewatered in a dewatering means before being dried in a dryer to obtain the processed product in a dried solid form.
