Description

  In the present invention, various kinds of seafood immediately after being caught and landed are subjected to ice of seawater micronized ice in place of conventional ice cubes or crushed ice, and micronized ice for cooling for the purpose of long-term fresh preservation. The present invention relates to a manufacturing apparatus.

Conventionally, this type of seafood is used as a cooling method to maintain freshness during storage or transportation after landing, and ice cubes or iced ones are crushed and applied to the upper or outer circumference of the seafood in a container. This is the current situation that is generally implemented.
However, with such a cooling method, the fish stored in the container has a problem that a gap is formed between the ice cubes and ice cubes or between the ice cubes and the ice cubes, and the entire outer periphery of the seafood cannot be cooled. However, there is a problem that the seafood is damaged in order to push the surface of the seafood. In addition, conventional large ice used for cooling has problems such as a very slow cooling rate.

The present invention is intended to solve the various problems described in the prior art, and the main object of the present invention is to reduce the disadvantages of ice cubes or ice cubes as a cooling method. The entire outer periphery of the fish body is covered with ice so as not to be damaged, and the slow cooling rate such as large ice cubes and crushed ice is quickly solved.
Moreover, the change of the osmotic pressure with the body fluid of a fish body by using seawater instead of the ice using the conventional fresh water was prevented.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a seawater micronized ice tank main body communicated with a pump for pumping seawater with an upper lid on which a water flow generator is placed, and the seawater micronized ice tank main body. Inside, the rotary shaft is provided with a rotary blade, and a freely movable inner lid is housed. The seawater micronized ice production device is equipped with a freezer and a creamy production drum by supplying a flow rate set in advance by a pump in response to a level switch signal. It communicates with the ice tank body.

According to the present invention, unlike the conventional cooling method in which ice cubes or crushed ice is applied directly to a seafood container, the effect of ensuring storage without damaging the fish body, Because of the seawater microscopic ice produced by this, there is also an effect that there is little change in the osmotic pressure with the body fluid of the fish body. Moreover, even if compared with ice cubes or crushed ice from fresh water, there is also a cooling effect due to a low temperature of 0 ° C. or less due to the salinity of seawater.
The seawater micron ice tank main body has an effect of adjusting the inside seawater micron ice state by moving the rotor blades provided in the water flow generator, and an inner lid that moves up and down inside the seawater micron ice tank main body. By putting the water inside, the inside seawater microscopic ice-like surface and the inner lid are brought into close contact with each other, so that there is no air layer, and the inside layer, particularly the surface layer portion, is not frozen and can be stored in high-quality seawater microscopic ice.

As an embodiment of the freezing seawater micronized ice production apparatus configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 1, the seawater pump (2) is switched on manually by the control panel (5), and the seawater micronized When seawater is supplied to the ice tank body (1) and the seawater micron ice tank body (1) is full, the seawater pump (2) is automatically stopped by a signal from the level switch (17). Next, the start of the timer and the pump (8) are automatically operated, and the circulation of the seawater whose flow rate is set by the flow meter (9) is started. When the timer expires (2 minutes), the refrigerator (7), the creamy production drum (6), and the water flow generator (11) automatically operate simultaneously to start cooling the seawater.
As the seawater cools down, creamy ice is produced in the creamy production drum (6) and flows into the seawater micronized ice tank body (1) with a mixture of seawater micronized ice ice and cold seawater. is there.
By continuing this process, it is possible to produce seawater micron ice ice continuously. The ice of the seawater micronized ice that floats on the cold seawater inside the seawater micronized ice tank body (1) rotates on the rotating water stream that is forced by the water flow generator (11). It can be collected uniformly. Depending on the purpose of use of the seawater microscopic ice, the water flow generator (11) may not be placed for the purpose of changing the ice state.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a seawater micron ice tank body (1) having a heat insulating structure made of FRP for producing seawater micron ice is installed in a control panel (5).
