A method for the industrial production of the biocatalysts with biologically active material in the form of immobilized enzymes or microorganisms which are immobilized into the
polyvinyl alcohol gel, and their use based on the fact, that the active biological material, formed by the mixture of free native or pretrated (aggregated)
enzyme catalyst, or production
microorganism, or part of them, and the
polyvinyl alcohol gel, is used for their industrial production, the mixture is gelated and shaped in a
stream of
drying air at the temperature of 800C to 150C, considering the extent of the biologically active material, at the biocatalyst geometrical ratio of the surface to the volume kept larger than 7 mm'1, and consequently thus prepared biocatalysts can be cultivated or stored and then use in biotechnological processes in the conditions,; which ensure given
biotechnological process higher productivity, higher production and enzymatic stability, long-term and repeated usage or definable
process control with consequence easy separation of the biocatalyst. The industrial production device, providing optimization of the biological carrier volume and surface in dependence on biologically active material extent, consisting of a
casting mechanism (17) mounted in front of a
drying channel (2), through which a continuous
conveyor belt (1) runs, is equipped with at least one
casting head (17) with two rows of
casting needle injectors connected to a pressure tempered tank (15) and a compressor (16), the
conveyor belt (1) and a
drying system - the source (4) of a drying air, which is blown by means of ventilator into an air
distribution system (6) with incorporated heating elements (5),; which runs into the upper drying channel (2), and further the lower final drying channel (3) and a reswelling tank (7), between which a wiping and collecting device (9) is mounted, designed on the basis of mechanical wiping and high-pressure rinse.
