Description

The present invention relates to a filter for separating a solid and a liquid, and more particularly to a filter for food processing capable of containing a solid (filter) and a liquid (filter) after separation. ..

In the food field, coffee drippers are a typical example of filters. For example, a strainer for coffee, tea, or the like, which comprises a frame made of an annular band material and a paper bag filter attached to the frame, is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). It does not require special equipment such as a filter (dripper), paper filter, server or pot to receive the filtered exudate, and is a convenient strainer that allows you to put coffee or tea directly into a coffee cup or tea cup. It is a container, and it is also a strainer that integrates a filter and a paper filter. Therefore, although it is very easy, it was necessary to prepare a coffee cup or a tea cup to receive the filtered leachate.

In addition to the coffee dripper described above, the filters used for separating solids and liquids include strainers, sieves, colanders, funnels for cooking, etc., which are containers for containing solids, that is, filters. Therefore, it was necessary to separately prepare a container for receiving the liquid (filter liquid) generated after separation, and none of the two containers were connected and aligned.

For example, in the case of a set of a colander and a bowl, since both of the above-mentioned containers are prepared, it is possible to separately store both of them in the filtrate and the filtrate after separation. However, due to the overlapping specifications, when used for filtration, it was necessary to support the distance between the colander and the bowl. Furthermore, since the colander and bowl are produced using different molds, they are usually produced separately.
