Description

  The present invention relates to a dryer for drying a peeled cocoon to produce a dried cocoon, and more particularly, to a dryer for drying cocoons that can dry a large number of cocoons while suppressing the generation of mold.

  Conventionally, a method for producing dried cocoons generally harvests cocoons as a raw material at an appropriate time, peels them off to make about 15 reeds, and first performs sulfur fumigation to prevent mold generation and decay. After that, the above-mentioned reams are hung on a dry basket and gradually dried in an air-dried state for about 10 to 14 days. The astringent is removed until no astringency is felt. Dry further. The dried cocoons are then packaged and shipped after repeating the steps of laying down, drying in the sun and smoldering 3 to 4 times, and further powdering the surface.

  In the manufacturing process described above, the de-astringency and drying processes are generally carried out in the natural environment of late autumn for about 4 weeks and dried using the temperature difference between wind, sunlight and day and night. For this reason, the dry state varies depending on the weather conditions of the year, and the quality of dried straw varies. In particular, in years when the humidity is high, such as rainy days or cloudy days, problems such as spoilage of molds or molds that cannot be commercialized occur. In addition, quality problems such as product color increase and meat quality are deteriorated.

  In order to avoid such a problem, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-299020 (Patent Document 1) and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-204449 (Patent Document 2) disclose a bag that is peeled and hung on a drying basket. It has been proposed to suspend these loops around an endless belt, etc., and to irradiate far infrared rays or microwaves on these ridges in a short time. In addition, drying time is shortened by performing thermal drying using an electric heater or an oil heater.

However, if rapid drying with far-infrared rays or the like as described above is performed in the early stage of drying, only the surface of the cocoon is dried to form a thin skin, resulting in a state of a bag cocoon in which moisture inside is not lost. There is a problem that the merchandise value is lost because the astringent remains inside and cannot be removed. Therefore, in order to produce a dried persimmon having a predetermined commercial value, it was necessary to gradually dry it by natural drying with wind. In addition, far infrared or microwave irradiation equipment for the kites requires a large amount of capital investment, and it is difficult to manage the temperature, so it is necessary to install an expensive temperature control device. This inevitably caused the cost to increase.
