BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a product in which an artificial casing is filled with sausage raw material, and a chain-like filled casing is formed by dividing the internal raw material into a predetermined length, and the casing is removed in the middle of processing to obtain a sausage separated from each other. The present invention relates to a foreign substance removing apparatus for sausage production line.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, among the sausages produced in the factory, an artificial casing is used, and the artificial casing is filled with the sausage raw material to create a chain-shaped filling sausage in which the internal raw material is divided into a predetermined length. When the sausage has been subjected to a predetermined treatment, it is placed on a casing peeling machine to remove the casing into separated sausages, and then the separated sausages are subjected to predetermined processing to produce a sausage. Is provided.
[0003]
In the casing peeling machine installed in such a sausage-free sausage production line, the cutting edge of the cutter fixedly provided in the sausage movement path is cut into the casing and cut into the casing with respect to the chain-shaped filling casing. The sausages peeled and removed from the sausage and separated from each other are discharged from the sausage take-out port, dropped onto a take-out conveyor having a porous conveying surface, and transferred to a subsequent processing step. And the sausage after casing peeling, in which the inferior goods and casing chip | tips adhered, are visually inspected and removed on a chocolate net-like conveyor.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, in the casing peeling machine, the cutting edge of the cutter fixedly provided in the sausage moving path is cut into the casing with respect to the chain-shaped filling casing, and the casing is cut open and removed from the sausage. The generated casing piece is discharged together with the peeled sausage, and a phenomenon occurs in which the casing piece adheres to the sausage surface again.
[0005]
Therefore, the present invention is installed as a relay means between the conventional casing peeling machine and the take-out conveyor, and the sausage immediately after the casing is peeled and separated from each other by the casing peeling machine is the sausage take-out port of the casing peeling machine. It effectively utilizes the kinetic energy that it has when it is released from it, and causes the sausage to come into contact with the body of the cocoon to generate a moderate impact, and synergistically with the suction force due to the high-speed air flow that is generated backward in the body of the cocoon An object of the present invention is to provide a foreign matter removing apparatus for a sausage production line that can efficiently remove foreign matters such as casing chips adhering to the sausage without relying on visual observation.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the foreign matter removing apparatus for sausage production line according to the present invention has a cocoon body in front of a sausage take-out port of a casing peeling machine that releases the sausage vigorously after peeling and removing the casing from the sausage. Are placed so that the upper part is inclined backwards, the cover body is covered with a cover body, the rear part of the cover body is connected to an external suction mechanism, and a high-speed air flow is generated in the cover body toward the back of the cover body. Thus, a sausage dropping port is provided in the lower part of the cover body at the front part of the cocoon body , and casing chips can be removed from the sausage .
[0007]
Here, the casing peeling machine removes the sausage separated from each other by removing the casing from the sausage by cutting the blade edge of the cutter provided in the sausage moving path into the casing with respect to the chain-shaped filling casing. A known one is used as the casing peeling machine itself, which is discharged from the mouth.
[0008]
Further, in the present invention, in order to ensure that the sausage discharged from the sausage take-out port of the casing peeling machine is brought into contact with the cocoon body, the sausage take-out port extends from the casing peeler horizontally to the cocoon body. The structure which formed in the end, pinched | interposed the salmon body, and provided the suction port in the rear part of the cover body facing the sausage take-out port is employ | adopted.
[0009]
According to the foreign matter removing apparatus of the present invention configured as described above, when the chain-shaped filling sausage made using the artificial casing is applied to the casing peeling machine after finishing the predetermined processing, the casing is peeled off. The sausages separated from each other are ejected vigorously from the outlet of the casing peeling machine toward the cocoon body, and at this time the sausage strikes against the cocoon body and the rear suction mechanism is applied to the cocoon body part by the external suction mechanism. The foreign matter such as casing chips adhering to the sausage is reliably removed by the synergistic action of the suction force generated by the high-speed air flow generated in the case. Thus, the sausage from which the kinetic energy has disappeared in the cocoon body part is dropped from the sausage dropping port in the front part of the cocoon body part and transferred to the subsequent processing step.
[0010]
Further, in the above, when the hook body is configured by arranging a large number of wires in the vertical direction, and the entire hook body is curved backward in plan view, the momentum is successively exerted from the outlet of the casing peeling machine. When a well-released (splashing) sausage collides with the surface of the cocoon body, it moves upwards due to the inclination of the body of the cocoon, and the center of the cocoon body is bent backwards to Most of the sausages that come into contact show a tendency toward the center, and the sausage that lost its kinetic energy in the spider body part due to the action of the suction force generated by the high-speed air flow generated backward in the spider body part. Since there is resistance to sliding down the body surface, the residence time of the sausage that moves around in front of the pupae's body is extended, during which the sausage from various angles Rubbing and between, abutment between the drainboard body results are Kaee repeated in a high speed air stream is also removed be efficiently without relying on visual to foreign matter such as adhering with strongly Hebaritsuku form sausages.
[0011]
In the foreign matter removing apparatus according to the present invention, of the foreign matter removed at the spider body part, the rough foreign matter that cannot pass through the eye of the spider child body is caught on the face of the spider child body under a strong suction force by the external suction mechanism. Since the foreign matter caught on the surface of the spider body does not fall from the sausage drop port with the following sausage, the foreign matter that passes through the eye of the spider body is sucked by the air flow. Sucked to the side. In addition, when the casing is peeled by the casing peeling machine in an atmosphere using steam, the steam is sucked together with the air flow to the suction mechanism side. A great effect can be obtained in terms of hygiene of the workplace as a highly clean area.
[0012]
And, if a moisture collecting mechanism is installed in the suction pipe that connects the rear part of the cover body and the external suction mechanism, the foreign substance that passes through the eyes of the spider body and rides on the suction airflow is caught in the middle of the pipe It is collected in the foreign material collection basket. Further, when the casing is peeled in an atmosphere using steam, the steam contained in the suction air flow can be easily removed via the moisture removing mechanism by forming water droplets in the middle of the pipeline. Therefore, the foreign matter and vapor in the air sucked to the suction mechanism can be easily processed, and the external suction mechanism is not adversely affected.
