Process for the production of anhydrous crystallized maltitol in which the mass M subjected to crystallization runs from top to bottom, continuously and under kneading, an enclosure 1 inside which it is subjected to a generally decreasing temperature gradient from top to bottom bottom, the crystallized mass being continuously recovered at the bottom of the enclosure, means being provided for taking at a intermediate level 8 a fraction of the mass M and for recycling it at a level 9 located near the upper end of the enclosure. |
