Abstract

Machine frame is mounted on legs of adjustable height which are equipped with wheels or castors for mobility. Each vegetable in turn is carried on a horizontal, perforated, stainless steel conveyor band, e.g. of stainless wire mesh, first to a cutting station and then through a washing zone. The horizontal conveyor has no slats or push-bars. Above one edge of the horizontal conveyor between its load end and the cutting station, a side driving band runs in the same direction but with its active face at 90 deg. to the horizontal conveyor. The side driving band can pref. be adjusted by vertical and/or lateral displacement. Electronic controls may be fitted to control the cutting station feed roller for different sizes of vegetable, the activation and pressure of washing sprays, conveyor and driving band speeds and adjustments, etc. The machine is designed for the industrial trimming and washing of asparagus and similar vegetables.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de coupage et lavage de légumes pour le présent et il s'adapte au traitement des asperges
Plus précisément il s'agit d'un dispositif qui alignera les asperges placées en vrac sur un tapis , les coupera et les récupérera une fois ce cycle accompli
Il ne restera plus qu'à placer les asperges dans un récipient qui ira à la stérilisation ou traitement sous vide
La préparation de.ce légume nscessite un grand soin et sa mise à longueur automatique est une opération délicate , d'autant plus que ce comestible deviens de plus en plus onéreux dfl au codt de main-d'oeuvre
On connait des dipositifs ou machines pourréaliser ce genre d'opération
D'une manière générale ceux-ci consistent en un chassis on tube muni de tapis d'un système de lavage , mais possidant un certain nombre d1inconvénicnts notamment lors de la mise en vrac des légumes sur le tapis , la disposition des asperges se fait manuellement et une à une , ce qui demande une main-d'oeuvre supplémentaire donc un coût de production supérieur , l'invention désigne pallie à ce problème , ce qui est relativement intéressant pour les producteurs équipés du présent appareil , ce qui permet de les placer dans des conditions convenables pour des machines visant à l'expdrtation , surtout que le produit est très demandé
La présente invention entend remédier à tous ces inconvénients on proposant un perfectionnement à ces machines connues par lesquels l'alignement des légume se présentant à la coupe sont nettement améliorés .A cet effet, l'invention pour objet un dispositif qui permet à la tige du légume on question de se déplacer perpendiculairement à la bande de mise en butée
Les tapis utilisés sont en matière différente des appareils connus , donc bien adapté en fonction de la demande des services d'hygiène alimentaire
Les modes de liaison et synchronisation des mouvements permettent do se diffé -rencier des autres machines et à été simplifié à l'extrème , ce qui devient interressant au niveau du coût de revient de cetts machine , outre la simplifi -cation , un soin particulier été apporté pour la construction au niveau de l'économie d'énergie , le moteur une pour le transport , la puissance réduite à et installée ce qui est avantageux par rapport aux autres conceptions
L'invention sera mieux comprise au cours de la description donnée ci-après à titre d'exemple purement indicatif et non limitatif , ce qui permettra d'en dégager les avantages et les caractéristiques secondaires
Il sera fait référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
La figure l illustre par une vue de face longitudinale schématise la disposi
-tion du d4ftlement des asperges et autre l < gume
La figure 2 est une vue de dessus du système mis en oeuvre selon le dispositif de l'invention
En se reportant tout d'abord à la figure 1 on voit un chassis 1 de construction classique en structure métallique équipé de pieds réglables ( profilés du
commerce ) sur lesquel est monté un tapis métallique inoxydable ajouré 2
spécialement adapté au nettoyage de ces dit légumes tout en répondant aux normes d'hygiène
Le tapis vertical réglable 3 dans le sens longitudinal et vertical à une vitesse bien determinEe et suit le légume de façon à l'amener perpendiculaire au plan de coupe , la coupe se fera au poste de tronçonnage 5 , la scie est dotée d'un presseur 5 A mais pour pouvoir obtenir le résultat désir , innovation réside dans le tapis 6 qui est le support de queue avant coupe , dont ce système est équipé et qui donne le résultat recherché
Sur ce même chassis 1 est fixé un bac de lavage 4 (équipé de rampes d'aspersion
Les jets sont placés de part et d'autre du tapis 2 au poste lavage
Une fois lavé , le légume tombe dans un bac ou sur un tapis roulant qui rVcupèr ce légume
Le mouvement des tapis est donné par un moteur unique 7 assurant les mouvements des 3 tapis . On voit qu'avec le dispositif selon l'invention on peut déposer
les légumes en vrac sur le tapis 2 et cela avec l'aide d'une seule personne ce qui est interressant au niveau de la production , c'est la diminution coût main-d'oeuvre tout en offrant une qualité du produit équivalente aux autres procédées
L'invention trouve une application intéressante dans l'agriculture et dans l'industrie agro-alimentaire
Elle n'est pas limitée à- la description qui vient autre donnée mais couvre au
contraire toutes les variantes qui pourraient lui Outre apportées sans sortir de son cadre ni de son esprit The present invention relates to a device for cutting and washing vegetables for the present and it adapts to the treatment of asparagus
More precisely, it is a device that will align the asparagus placed in bulk on a carpet, cut and recover them once this cycle has been completed.
All that remains is to place the asparagus in a container that will go to sterilization or vacuum treatment
The preparation of this vegetable requires great care and its automatic lengthening is a delicate operation, especially since this edible is becoming more and more expensive due to the labor cost.
We know devices or machines to perform this kind of operation
Generally speaking, these consist of a tube chassis fitted with a carpet for a washing system, but having a certain number of drawbacks, in particular when bulk vegetables are placed on the carpet, the arrangement of the asparagus is done manually. and one by one, which requires additional labor and therefore a higher production cost, the invention designates overcomes this problem, which is relatively advantageous for producers equipped with this device, which makes it possible to place them in conditions suitable for machines aimed at shipping, especially as the product is in high demand
The present invention intends to remedy all these drawbacks by proposing an improvement to these known machines by which the alignment of the vegetables presenting themselves during cutting are clearly improved. To this end, the invention relates to a device which allows the stem of the vegetable we are talking about moving perpendicular to the stop strip
The carpets used are made of different materials from known devices, therefore well suited to the demand of food hygiene services
The modes of connection and synchronization of movements allow you to differentiate yourself from other machines and have been simplified to the extreme, which becomes interesting in terms of the cost price of this machine, in addition to simplification, special care has been taken brought for construction in terms of energy saving, motor one for transport, power reduced to and installed which is advantageous compared to other designs
The invention will be better understood during the description given below by way of purely indicative and nonlimiting example, which will make it possible to identify the advantages and the secondary characteristics thereof.
Reference will be made to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure l illustrates by a longitudinal front view schematizes the arrangement
-tion of the asparagus and other vegetables
Figure 2 is a top view of the system implemented according to the device of the invention
Referring first to Figure 1 we see a frame 1 of conventional construction in metal structure equipped with adjustable feet (profiles of
trade) on which is mounted an openwork stainless steel mat 2
specially adapted for cleaning these vegetables while meeting hygiene standards
The adjustable vertical belt 3 in the longitudinal and vertical direction at a well determined speed and follows the vegetable so as to bring it perpendicular to the cutting plane, the cutting will be done at the cutting station 5, the saw has a presser 5 A but to be able to obtain the desired result, innovation resides in the carpet 6 which is the tail support before cutting, with which this system is equipped and which gives the desired result
On this same chassis 1 is fixed a washing tank 4 (equipped with spraying ramps
The jets are placed on either side of the carpet 2 at the washing station
Once washed, the vegetable falls into a bin or onto a conveyor belt that collects this vegetable
The movement of the belts is given by a single motor 7 ensuring the movements of the 3 belts. It can be seen that with the device according to the invention, it is possible to deposit
the vegetables in bulk on the carpet 2 and that with the help of a single person what is interesting at the level of the production, it is the reduction labor cost while offering a product quality equivalent to the others proceeded
The invention finds an interesting application in agriculture and in the food industry.
It is not limited to the description which comes from other data but covers the
contrary all the variants which could be brought to him without leaving his frame nor his spirit
