Abstract

A process for the production of crystalline dextrose monohydrate in which the mass M subjected to crystallization traverses from above downwards continuously and under malaxation, a vessel inside which it is subjected to a temperature gradient globally decreasing from above downwards. The crystalline mass is recovered continuously at the lower part of the vessel, means being provided to take up at the intermediate level a fraction of the mass and to recycle it to a level situated in the vicinity of the upper end of the vessel.
