Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for continuous centrifugation, particularly for leaf foodstuffs.
- the invention concerns to an apparatus of the above kind allowing to continuously centrifuging salad and similar delicate products.
- drying is carried out by a heat exchange tunnel, said solution not being usable for drying small amount of products since the apparatus is too much expensive and managing costs are too high.
- centrifugal apparatuses are presently employed, said apparatuses drying the product.
- All the known apparatuses of this kind have a batch mode operation: a set amount of product is loaded within the apparatus, then the drying step is carried out, and then the dried product is withdrawn and a further batch of the product is introduced within the apparatus.
- Main object of the present invention is that of providing an apparatus of the above kind allowing to carry out a continuous centrifugation drying, with remarkable advantages in term of time and operation costs.
- an apparatus for the continuous centrifugation, particularly for leaf foodstuffs comprising loading means for the product to be dried; discharge means for the dried product, a fixed body, having a substantially circular shape, said body having a central vertical axis; feeding means for the product to be dried, substantially in correspondence of the central axis of said fixed body; a structure to address the product toward drying means; drying means including a translating belt cage and a holed lateral surface; said drying means being provided with a rotative motion about an axis coincident with said central axis of the fixed body, and with a translation motion of said translating band, and addressing means of the dried product toward said discharge means for the dried product.
- said loading means for the product to be dried and said discharge means for the dried product can be comprised of conveyor belts.
- said product feeding means can be comprised of a hopper.
- said product addressing structure toward the drying means and said addressing means for the dried product toward the dried product discharge means can be comprised of a spiral like structure, centrally providing a divider element at the inlet of the product, discharge of the product occurring close to said central axis.
- said drying means can comprise a belt, comprised of holed plastic tissue, with trapezoidal shaped or side toothed guides, two pulleys (upper and lower pulleys, respectively), having guide cave for trapezoidal or toothed belts supporting the belt (maximum centrifugation end).
- said operation means for the drying means can be comprised of a first and a second fifth wheel, driven by a single motor, or by distinct motors.
- an apparatus for the continuous centrifugation particularly for leaf foodstuffs, providing an elevator band 1, for continuously loading the product, an elevator band 2 for continuously discharging the product, a centrifugal apparatus, generally indicated by reference number 3.
- continuous centrifugation apparatus 3 provides a fixed body 4, above which a hopper 5 is provided for the introduction of the product arriving from band 1. Under said hopper, a spiral 6 is provided.
- apparatus In correspondence of the outlet of the hopper 5, apparatus according to the invention provides a band 7, rotating about itself, and translating according to a peripheral direction. Motion of said band 7 is determined by two fifth wheels 8, 9, respectively for the rotation of band 7 about axis A-A, and for peripheral translation of the same band 7.
- said band 7 has a cage structure, said structure having meshes so sized to allow the exit of the water, but not of the product leaves.
- the band is comprised of holed plastic tissue provided with trapezoidal or side toothed guides, and two (upper and lower) pulleys provided with guide cave for the trapezoidal or toothed belts, supporting the band 7 (maximum centrifugation end).
- Rotation of band 7 according to the direction of arrow B in figure 4 allows to obtain a drying of the product by centrifugation, while advancement of band 7 according to arrow C of figure 4 allows to have a continuous replacement of the product.
- a central divider 11 is provided, dividing the loading zone from the discharge zone in correspondence of the rotation axis A-A of the cage with the band 7.
- balance band 7 a counterweight 10 is provided to balance band 7.
- Motion of fifth wheels 8 and 9 is obtained by a motor, but it could also be obtained by two distinct motors.
- Rotation speed and translation speed of band 7 will be adjusted in such a way to have a centrifugal force sufficient to obtain the drying of the product, and a standing time of the product on the band sufficient to obtain a complete drying.
- product is introduced within the centre of the rotation axis of the cage (loading position) and then is distributed on the inner wall of the holed band by a rigid spiral 6.
