Systems and methods can be provided.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 10, one Embodiment of the manure production system and manure production method which concern on this invention is described in detail.

The fertilizer feed production system of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 receives a large number of food wastes that are discarded and collected at convenience stores, supermarkets, food production factories, etc., in the receiving station 1.
The food waste received at the receiving station 1 is transferred onto the transfer line 2 manually or automatically.
The first product information acquisition means 3 arranged in parallel with the transport line 2 is used to optically or to handle the product information such as a barcode attached to the food waste moving on the transport line 2 to the food waste. The product information recorded in the stopped IC tag is read electromagnetically and transmitted to the control device 4.

The control device (packaging form discriminating means) 4 discriminates the packaging form of the food waste based on the merchandise information transmitted from the first merchandise information acquiring means 3 and the stored first database.
Here, the packaging form of food waste includes boxes such as lunch boxes, transparent resin packs such as chilled Chinese, trays such as prepared dishes, bags such as bread, wrapped packages such as rice balls, and paper packs such as milk. Say the distinction between containers and packaging.

Next, the control device 4 controls the operation of the sorting transfer device (food waste sorting means and transfer means) 5, sorts the food waste that has reached the sorting transfer device 5 based on the packaging form, and corresponds to the packaging form To the transport line.
For example, if the food waste is a box-shaped lunch box, the transfer line 6a, if it is a rice ball, the transfer line 6b, if it is a bag of bread, the transfer line 6c, if it is chilled Chinese, it is transferred. In the case of the line 6d and milk, it is transferred to the transfer line 6e.

At this time, the control device (excluded food waste discriminating means) 4 applies meat to the food waste based on the merchandise information transmitted from the first merchandise information acquiring means 3 and the stored third database. If the food waste is determined to be contained, the food waste cannot be used as feed for fattening the cow, so the operation of the sorting transfer means (food waste exclusion means) 5 is controlled, and the management is strictly It transfers to the conveyance line 6f performed.

Similarly, the control device 4 determines that the freshness of the food waste is lowered based on the product information transmitted from the first product information acquisition unit 3 and the stored third database. In this case, the food waste is transferred to the transfer line 6g and discarded.

The second product information acquisition means 7a to 7f arranged in parallel with each of the transport lines 6a to 6f are product information such as barcodes attached to food wastes moving on the transport lines 6a to 6f, respectively. Is optically read and transmitted to the control device 4.
Then, the control device (manure feed production data acquisition means) 4 is included in the food waste based on the product information transmitted from the second product information acquisition means 3 and the stored second database. The data for manure feed production of the main food is acquired and stored temporarily.

Further, the control device (fertilizer production data calculation means) 4 sums up the data for fertilizer production temporarily stored every time one processing lot is completed, and passes through the transport line. Calculate the total value of manure feed production data contained in food waste.
More specifically, in the transport line 6a where the lunch box moves, each time one lunch box moves, data for manufacturing fertilizer for food bodies such as rice and side dishes included in the lunch box, for example, carbohydrate X gram Data such as protein Y gram, fat Z gram, calorie K calories, etc. are acquired individually.
Then, for example, when 50 lunch boxes pass and the processing lot is finished, the total value of the fertilizer production data included in these 50 lunch boxes is calculated.

The individual food waste moving on each of the transport lines 6a to 6f is separated in its container and packaging in the container and packaging separation devices 8a to 8f corresponding to the packaging form, and the food main body is stored in the storage containers 9a to 9f. It is taken out.
In addition, if the container packaging separation apparatus (Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-190082) which the applicant of this application applied previously is used as the container packaging separation apparatuses 8a-8f, it will isolate | separate reliably, without crushing the container packaging. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the plastic pieces or the like constituting the container and packaging from being mixed into the food body.

As described above, the fertilizer production data for the entire amount of the food main body, which is separated into the container packaging by the container packaging separators 8a to 8f and taken out to the storage containers 9a to 9e, has already been calculated.
Accordingly, the control device (storage container discriminating means) 4 determines which of the storage containers 9a to 9e is the storage container containing the food body necessary for manufacturing the fertilizer to be manufactured. To do.
Next, the control device 4 controls the operation of the storage container transfer device 10 to transfer only the storage container determined to be necessary for manufacturing to the fertilizer production apparatus 11.
Then, the fertilizer production apparatus 11 uses the food main body stored in the transferred storage container as a main raw material, adds any nutrients that are insufficient, and manufactures the fertilizer containing the desired nutrients. To do.

In addition, since the food main body taken out to the storage container 9f is unsuitable for manufacture of feed, it is used for manufacture of agricultural fertilizers, for example.
Moreover, since the food waste transferred to the conveyance line 6g may be spoiled due to a decrease in freshness, it is disposed of without being used as a raw material.

  As the above-described container / packaging separation devices 8a to 8f, for example, the container / packaging separation device (Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-190082) previously filed by the applicant of the present application can be used.
