Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to cleaning of a broiler or the like for the purpose of completely cleaning and sterilizing a broiler or the like having a large number of pores on the surface into pores (for example, feather holes or pores) on the surface. Method and apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A cleaning method characterized by ultrasonically cleaning agricultural products using alkaline ionized water and acidic ionized water has been proposed (JP-A-10-66553). Further, there has been proposed a device for cleaning vegetables, fruits, and the like by modifying a liquid used for cleaning and using the liquid to perform ultrasonic cleaning (JP-A-8-131141).

[0003]

The above-mentioned known inventions are effective in the generation and reforming of the washing water, respectively. It does not consider the state. For example, for agricultural products or fruits, the efficacy is shown for the separation and cleaning of filth and pesticides, but the characteristics of raw meat, such as broilers, having many pores and other pores on the surface In the cleaning object under the conditions, automatic continuity, softening of small pores (or enlargement of pores),
Consideration such as floating cleaning is required.

That is, according to the above-mentioned known technique, although the removal and sterilization of dirt are better than the shower cleaning with tap water, it is insufficient to completely clean and sterilize, for example, the inside of feather holes or pores. Met.

[0005] However, meat quality is good as a bacterial bed, and bacteria grow rapidly if there is appropriate temperature and humidity. If bacteria remain in pores and the like, if the subsequent management of broilers and the like is overlooked, There was a problem that broilers were immediately contaminated with bacteria.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention adjusts the temperature of washing water to an appropriate temperature in order to completely clean and sterilize a broiler, etc., and to facilitate opening of pores, and to wash acidic water or other sterilizing water. The above problem was solved by using an ultrasonic cleaning tank.

[0007] That is, the invention of the method is to preliminarily wash a broiler or the like with pressurized washing water during automatic conveyance to remove foreign substances adhering to the outside, and then put the broiler or the like in an ultrasonic washing tank while floating with sterilizing washing water. A method for cleaning a broiler or the like characterized by washing, wherein the sterilizing cleaning water is water having a bactericidal action at 25 ° C. to 40 ° C. with active water, acidic water or salt water.

Next, the invention of the apparatus is characterized in that a supply means for sterilizing cleaning water is provided on one side of the cleaning tank, a drainage means is provided on the other side, an ultrasonic generator is provided in the cleaning tank, and This is a cleaning apparatus such as a broiler, which is connected to a means for generating sterilizing cleaning water, wherein the means for supplying sterilizing cleaning water is connected to a water pipe via a valve or provided with a pump. Further, the means for generating sterilizing cleaning water is a sterilizing water generating device, and the wastewater overflows from one side of the cleaning tank.

In the above, the sterilizing washing water to be used may be any of acidic water, alkaline water, activated water, ozone water and other sterilizing washing water which is harmless to the human body. Since it is used, it is necessary to use water that does not cause a problem with regard to release or concentration. For example, water having a sterilizing property only while the activation is maintained, such as ozone water and magnetized water, is preferable. This is because such active water returns to normal water after a lapse of a certain time after washing. Since the pre-cleaning is intended to clean dirt (feathers, blood, and other solid dirt generated during handling) attached to the outer surface of the broiler or the like, showering with pressurized water is sufficient, and the If a hot water shower is used to adjust the temperature, the temperature can be easily adjusted during ultrasonic cleaning.

[0010] According to the apparatus of the present invention, sterilizing cleaning water is flowed in ultrasonic cleaning and the broiler and the like are kept in a free floating state, so that the entire outer surface of the broiler and the like can be uniformly cleaned. In addition, the separated contaminants can be quickly separated and fluidized and removed by the fluidized washing. By doing so, the cleaning water is renewed while the degree of contamination of the cleaning water does not progress, so that the cleaning efficiency is improved, and there is no possibility that cleaning failure will occur even during long-time operation.

In the present invention, broilers and the like include broilers, meat with skin, and meat with large cuts (specifically, chicken, beef,
Horse, pork, goat, mutton, etc.).

In the case of the above-mentioned skinned meat, the number of bacteria retained during storage is dramatically reduced by washing into the pores, and propagation during handling can be significantly controlled. Also, in the case of large cut meat, bacteria can easily enter between muscles or into uneven portions of the cut surface, but this can be effectively washed away.

Further, salt is mixed in the washing water (0.1% to 0.1%).
If it is 5%), the replacement of meat with moisture is promoted, and the washing water easily enters the inside of the meat, so that an effect close to complete washing can be expected.

[0014]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a broiler and the like that pre-cleans a broiler or the like to remove solid contamination on the outer surface, and also performs ultrasonic cleaning in a suitable temperature of washing water to completely clean and sterilize the pores. This is a cleaning method.

The present invention is characterized in that a continuous supply means for sterilizing washing water and an automatic drainage means are connected to the cleaning tank, and an automatic supply means such as a broiler and an automatic removal means are additionally provided. It is a cleaning device to perform. Therefore, generation, supply and discharge of activated water (or sterilized water), supply and removal of a broiler and the like, and automatic management of cleaning water (delivery flow rate, contamination check, flow rate, etc.) are automatically controlled as necessary. Further, if necessary, ultrasonic control (for example, frequency control or the like) can be performed. If salt water is mixed into the acidic water or washed with salt water alone, the salt water can penetrate into the meat by osmotic pressure.

According to the present invention, since germicidal washing water harmless to humans and animals is used, wastewater and other secondary treatments are almost unnecessary or require only minor treatment (for example, filtration of solids). No special cleaning or processing equipment is required.

Embodiment 1 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The broiler from which the blades have been removed is preliminarily washed with pressurized water (for example, 4 kg / cm ² ) to remove small blades, blood particles, and other dirt attached to the outer surface. Then, it is put into a washing tank containing a mixed water of acidic water and alkaline water, and ultrasonically washed.

Activated water obtained by magnetically treating tap water can be used in place of the acidic water and the alkaline water.

Ultrasonic cleaning is performed by oscillating ultrasonic waves at a normal cleaning frequency. However, the ultrasonic waves cause the pores to expand or the pores to vibrate, causing acidic water or the like to penetrate deep into the pores. As a result, the broiler is taken out in a completely sterilized state. Then, it is dried with clean air and frozen or refrigerated.

According to the embodiment, since the broiler can be sterilized without fail, even if the temperature and humidity thereafter are suitable for the propagation of bacteria, there is no risk of causing an accident due to the proliferation of bacteria.
