Description

The present invention relates to a process for the production of dry canned food from vegetables, potatoes and the like. In the process, the vegetables are cleaned in the usual way and chopped into chips separated into long and short schnitzel and semolina, after which each part is dried separately will! The different sized vegetable parts are separated and sorted appropriately under water; it is best to use a device to carry out the procedure in which the chopping machine is inevitably coupled to the sorting device. The identified features of the present process have a number of significant ones Advantages in the wake that are completely lacking in the dry processes that have been customary up to now, which, however, is crucial for the production of such canned foods from vegetables, etc. Meaning are. While so far an even, uniform and impeccable drying was difficult ■■ and good dry goods could only be obtained if one expected a very high percentage of waste, the new process, which ensures that the dry goods are as similar as possible, first of all the advantage achieved that the drying on the evenly sized particles also evenly acts so that not larger parts are still moist, while the small particles, above all but the unavoidable semolina, already dried too hot and burned. By however, the uneven drying always became the taste of the dried vegetables very unpleasant, influenced, since even parts that are too dry are already part of the whole give a bitter taste. Technically revealed. in the previous procedures still the Difficulty that the small parts and the semolina form the kiln or the wickerwork of the same clogged, so that the whole drying process is impaired and delayed became. This delay affected ^ the vegetable in terms of flavor and taste Taste, increased operating costs unnecessarily and made a cumbersome frequent Cleaning of the kiln required.

As in the present process, all the prepared vegetables, depending on his Sorted by size and treated separately, according to its size, so can both smaller as well as larger schnitzel are fully utilized and also the semolina, the Is exposed to the drying process for a correspondingly shorter period of time, provides usable and - ' tasty dry food that can be used with soups. Herewith is a full utilization of the "drying system connected, since no material useless too." is dried for a long time; further. will be a decrease the operating costs, an increase in the profit of usable dry goods and a consistently good taste of the canned food achieved. The waste is no longer worth mentioning. As a result of the evenness The wickerwork of the kiln can also contain semolina-like parts of the dry material do not clog, so that air circulation is not obstructed.

The execution of the procedure is as follows. The vegetables are first made in a familiar way Washed, peeled in peeling machines, then cleaned and now shredded in chopping machines. The schnitzel that comes out of the schnitzel machine consists of normal, schnitzel and clear stuff. The separation the different "large vegetable parts" are made in sieve cylinders; these become the long ones

. ίο 'Schnitzel conveyed out at the outlet end, while the clear stuff falls through the openings in the cylinder. The different Products are then treated separately,

d. H. on various hordes or the like in Usually dried.

'The different parts can be separated from each other under water, so that sorting is combined with rewashing. The larger schnitzel and the clear vegetable parts separate in the Water bathing, the former swimming, the latter sinking to the bottom, it is only necessary both To lift parts out of the water bath separately.

The division of the dry material can be continued by removing the semolina from the clear particles are still separated by sieving.

In the drawing, a device serving to carry out the method is shown.

ι is the belt drive that sits on the shaft 2, 3 are bevel gears to drive the Cutting machine 6, which is connected to the bevel gears by shaft 5.

7 is the outlet of the chopping machine, from which the chopped material is transferred to the sieve cylinder 8 occurs, which sits on the shaft 13 mounted at 9 and 10.

The treated material falls out in long chips at the outlet end 11, while the clear stuff goes through the 12 stitches. This means that the pulping machine and the sieve cylinder are at the same time can be driven, the disk 4 is still seated on the shaft 2 and on the shaft 13 the pulley 14, both of which are connected by the belt 15! '

During the sorting process, the schnitzel is ventilated strongly at the same time and thereby already loses in moisture, especially the one that still sticks to them from the post-washing machine. The chips become significantly better as a result of the subsequent separation made accessible.
