Abstract

The propagator has a manually operated sliding hopper with integral watering (9) which deposits seed on the upper of two conveyor belts. The conveyor belts operate on rollers (2) which have an adjustment (3). Each conveyor belt is watered by pipes (11) and warm air is circulated by a thermostatically controlled blower (10). The germinated cereal is advanced through the successive conveyor belts and abstracted from the lowest belt periodically.

- 1 La présente invention concerne l'élaboration d'un matériel destiné à la  - 1 The present invention relates to the development of equipment for the

germination des graines. Le but étant d'en améliorer la valeur nutritive.  seed germination. The goal is to improve the nutritional value.

L'ensemble,entièrement automatisé, se présente sous la forme d'un caisson parallélépipédique isolé, ouvert sur le dessus et dont le fond sert à la récupération de I'eau. A l'intérieur de ce caisson, deux tapis roulants (1) (ou un multipie de deux), superposés, commandés électriquement grâce à un temporisateur sur un cycle approximatif de quarante-huit heures nécessaires à la sortie de germes de cinq millimètres à un centimètre. Chacun de ces tapis, soutenus aux deux extrémités par deux rouleaux (2) dont l'écartement peut être modifié par une vis (3) afin d'améliorer la tension s'il y a lieu, repose sur une tôle inox (4) profilée en auge, tôle qui assure la rigidité du tapis et la tenue des graines. Chaque tapis est muni à son extrémité de deux arêtes symétriques (5), I'une en haut et l'autre en bas dont le rôle est de  The whole, fully automated, is in the form of an isolated parallelepipedic box, open on top and the bottom of which is used for water recovery. Inside this box, two conveyor belts (1) (or a multiple of two), superimposed, electrically controlled by a timer on an approximate cycle of forty-eight hours necessary for the exit of germs from five millimeters to one centimeter. Each of these mats, supported at both ends by two rollers (2) whose spacing can be modified by a screw (3) to improve the tension if necessary, rests on a profiled stainless steel sheet (4) in a trough, sheet metal which ensures the rigidity of the carpet and the holding of the seeds. Each carpet is provided at its end with two symmetrical edges (5), one at the top and the other at the bottom whose role is to

Sur le dessus du caisson, deux rails (6) supportent une trémie (7) à laquelle  On the top of the box, two rails (6) support a hopper (7) to which

Le grain est d'abord déposé dans la trémie qui, déplacée manuellement couvre le tapis supérieur de grains qui sont arrosés simultanément par un tuyau (9) percé solidaire de la trémie. Ramené à sa position de départ, le tapis attaché à la  The grain is first deposited in the hopper which, moved manually covers the upper belt of grains which are watered simultaneously by a pipe (9) pierced integral with the hopper. Returned to its starting position, the mat attached to the

Au bout d'un temps égal à 48 heures/n (n étant le nombre de tapis) les tapis se mettent en rotation et évacuent les grains vers les tapis inférieurs (du 1 vers le 2, du 2 vers le 3,...) et du dernier vers la sortie, jusqu'au remplissage des tapis  At the end of a time equal to 48 hours / n (n being the number of belts) the belts start to rotate and evacuate the grains towards the lower belts (from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, ... ) and from the last to the exit, until the carpets are filled

Trois rampes (11), munies d'une ou plusieurs électrovannes (12) disposées au-dessus de chaque tapis projette de manière séquentielle au travers de plusieurs jets un brouillard sur le grain. Un bac, le fond du caisson(13), récupère l'eau - 2 d'aspersion qui est recyclée pour l'arrosage des grains par une pompe (14) à  Three ramps (11), provided with one or more solenoid valves (12) arranged above each carpet, project fog sequentially through several jets onto the grain. A tank, the bottom of the box (13), collects the water - 2 of spraying which is recycled for the sprinkling of the grains by a pump (14) to
