DE102004051729A1 - Cereals e.g. wheat, cleaning device, has supply unit supplying cereals into container filled with brine of sodium-chloride, and discharging unit discharging cereals from container, where cereals are cleaned in bath with brine - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has a supply unit (1) for supplying of cereals into a container (6) filled with a brine (5) of sodium-chloride, and a discharging unit discharging the cereals from the container. The discharging pipe is designed as a down pipe (12) and reaches below an upper surface of the brine. The down pipe includes a opening for inflow of the brine into the pipe, where the cereals are cleaned in a bath with the brine. An independent claim is also included for a method for cleaning of cereals, in particularly, for operation of a device for cleaning cereals.

Description

The The invention relates to a device for cleaning cereals, e.g. of wheat, rye, barley, oats, triticale or corn. Further concerns the invention a method for cleaning grain.

Of the Invention is based on the object, a device and a To offer procedures for cleaning grain from unwanted substances can.

These Task is for the device solved by the features of claim 1. advantageous embodiments the device are described in the subclaims 2 to 6. For the procedure the problem is solved by the features of claim 7, with advantageous variants in claims 8 to 10.

at the device according to the invention is a feeding Element for feeding of cereals in a container filled with a brine and a laxative Element for removal of the container cleaned Grain from the container intended. The cereal to be cleaned is especially a full bath subjected in the brine, whereby the desired purification of undesirable additives, in particular achieved by Fusarien, microtoxins and plant residues to a surprisingly high extent becomes.

At the inventive method The grain to be cleaned is in a full bath with a brine cleaned. The brine can be used as crystal brine, as brine out Sodium chloride or formed as a brine from sea salt or rock salt become.

By the inventive method will be a cleaning of the grain of unwanted additives, in particular of fusaria, micro-toxins and plant residues.

The Invention is based on an embodiment closer in the drawing figure explained.

The drawing figure shows a device for cleaning grain, in which the grain, by an afferent element 1 , eg a (stainless) steel pipe, into a container 6 eg stainless steel in the direction 11 is filled, the container 6 with brine 5 , eg with crystal brine, is filled. This brine 5 may also consist of sodium chloride, sea salt or rock salt.

The feeding element 1 can be designed as a downpipe and below the surface 7 the brine 5 openings 8th have, so that the brine 5 can penetrate into the grain, in particular at the same time a conveying element 9 , eg a schematically represented (noble) steel screw, below with brine 5 is filled. The openings 8th have in particular inwardly projecting tubular elements to a leakage of grain into the container 6 to prevent. If grain is fed into the auger via the downpipe, it will stay in the brine for a period of time, eg a few seconds 5 and then becomes almost vertical above the laxative element 2 in the direction 10 again carried away. Due to the steep spreading of the laxative element 2 The brine-based brine flows back into the tank 6 ,

Over an attached downpipe 12 the cleaned grain falls into a gutter 13 , For example, a (foam rubber) vibrating trough, the bottom of a screen plate or a collecting trough 14 For example, made of stainless steel, to any still adhering brine back into the container 6 drop. Here you can also use a screw, a Redler or a conveyor belt.

The gutter 13 is, for example, with 15% tilt over the tank 5 attached and brings the grain in a not pictured Abstehbehälter in the area 15 , Here it lingers, for example, 6-24 hours, to then come on a brushing machine or scrubber for per se known grinding or grinding.

By the device described and the method described are by cleaning or bathing the grain all adhering Fusariums, micro-toxins or pesticide residues virtually completely eliminated.

The outer wood fiber layer of the grain is through the brine 5 solved and then effortlessly and virtually completely removed in a subsequent operation, for example, from a brushing or scrubbing machine.

The Contains crystal brine up to 84 trace elements, especially just as many as the human Body, which by the method and the device also in the grain and thus get into the flour or meal. The baked from it Bread can strengthen the human immune system when consumed can thus have an antiallergic effect.

A cereal grain that has gone through this process can also have the same positive effects on animal feed. In pigs, there can be better increases and less losses in the mast. In pig breeding can give larger piglets with less losses. In chickens the health condition can be much better and the laying performance higher.
