Abstract

CONTINUOUS PROCESSING OF PREPARATION AND PACKAGING OF PEPPER MORRºN, characterized by receiving the fruits of red pepper as first matter on endless belts on whose edges some operators manually make a selection to remove any fruit not suitable for further use; the suitable fruits continue on an elevator to fall through the upper mouth of an inclined rotary oven where the skin of the pepper is roasted and this leaves through the lower mouth of the oven; the fruit is again raised by a ramp to a dry peeling machine and from there it is cooled by means of pressure and immersion showers; the fruit peeled and washed passes on a worm before operators who manually place each fruit in a special machine descorazonadora of the pepper and when finishing the step of this by the machine the hearts have followed separate path and within the fruit only half-detached veins remain and loose seeds; from said machine the pepper is raised to a cylindrical washing machine provided with showers and immersion where the skin remains and all the loose veins and seeds mentioned above are removed from the fruit; from there the fruit passes to a long rubber endless belt where it is again manually reviewed by operators located on the edges of the moving belt who have stainless steel containers with running water to finish the cleaning of the fruit and in the last section of the tape other operators perform the classification of the fruits by colors; according to this classification the fruits are directed by mobile bands either to accumulation tanks of fruits of the same type or if a type or more types are being sent to the packaging section this type or types of pepper then arrives at a scalding machine endowed with a circulation of boiling water or steam, with automatic regulation of the temperature and speed of passage of the pepper whose blanching takes place before its dulling is carried out; the fruits thus scalded reach an endless belt that on the other hand receives a stream of empty metal canisters from another transverse band or air transport, where some workers fill them with the peppers that have arrived from the scald; said filled cans enter an automatic pre-sealing machine that partially closes the can; then this boat goes to a line of preheater devices in which the inside of the boat is heated to thin the air contained therein and finally it comes before the automatic closing machine where the process is finished, and a semi-automatic closing machine used for closing large round pots.
