Description

  The present invention is a special ice making of soft ice produced from salt water or seawater in place of various types of fish and shellfish immediately after being caught and landed, or fish and shellfish processed from them, in place of ice cubes or crushed ice or the like conventionally used. Concentrated and grown ice that is connected to the machine, and the concentrated and grown ice is secondarily adjusted to suit each application of various seafood. The present invention relates to an ice manufacturing apparatus.

Conventionally, after this type of seafood has been landed, the cooling method used for the purpose of maintaining freshness during storage or transportation is to crush ice cubes or iced ones and put them on top of the seafood in a container or Applying to the outer periphery is a common practice.
However, in the cooling method in this case, the seafood stored in the container has a gap between the ice cubes and the ice cubes, or between the crushed ice and the crushed ice, and the entire outer periphery of the seafood cannot be cooled on average.

Therefore, in recent years, a method has been implemented in which soft ice ice is sent to a container or the like to be manufactured in a circular fashion by using an apparatus for producing micron ice ice from salt water or seawater.
However, in this case, there are the following problems. That is, since ice ice and salt water or seawater are mixed and sent together in the container, it is impossible to use ice ice in a state where salt water or seawater is removed to a required amount.
Moreover, in the container, it is very difficult to adjust the mixing ratio of ice ice and salt water or sea water.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned various problems, and the object is to install a screen that can be raised and lowered near the bottom of the ice collection / growth tank to minimize outflow of the ice part. By installing a screen cradle around the bottom of the screen and in the center of the bottom respectively, the outflow of salt water or seawater and ice from the screen / tank contact area is minimized, and Concentration and growth are promoted, and after sufficient concentration and growth of ice, secondary adjustment can be easily made so that the ice is suitable for each application.
Another object of the present invention is to freely adjust the ice that has been secondarily adjusted by providing a screen laid in the interior so as to freely move up and down.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention collects and grows micronized ice produced from salt water or sea water by a refrigerator and a special ice maker. It consists of an ice accumulation / growth tank and a seawater storage tank. The ice accumulation / growth tank is provided with a central screen support and a peripheral screen support at the bottom. The ice accumulating / growing tank is provided with an injection connecting portion for injecting the ice and a discharge connecting portion for discharging salt water or seawater, respectively. The seawater storage tank is provided with a drain outlet inside, and a drainage section connected to a pump is connected to the outside. Further, the screen stores a filler in a frame between the upper and lower perforated plates.
The screen is provided with lifting hooks at the corners to adjust the outflow of salt water and sea water.

According to the present invention, conventional ice cubes or crushed ice is directly used for seafood, and the effect of not damaging the fish and processed fish is compared with the seawater sherbet ice used in recent years. The seawater sherbet-like ice can only be used for cooling seafood, or it can only be used for a limited range of storage and transportation. It has an excellent salinity and minus temperature, and is suitable for storage and transportation by having an appropriate hardness, and it can be expected to have an unprecedented effect in maintaining the freshness of seafood.
Providing a screen at the bottom of the ice accumulation / growth tank facilitates the accumulation and growth of ice, and easily collects free water in the tank other than ice after the accumulation and growth of ice. This has the effect of making it possible to produce ice having a negative temperature and appropriate hardness. At this time, in the process of discharging free water in the tank other than the ice content, the ice from which only the free water has been removed has a light blue color because it has sufficient salt water or sea water between the ice crystals (blue ice), and partly By removing the salt water or seawater between the ice crystals, it can be made into snow-like white ice (white ice), which can contribute to the expansion of applications.
The free water removed from the ice accumulation / growth tank has a lower temperature and higher salinity compared to the original salt water or seawater, and is pasteurized and very hygienic, so when producing the next batch Using free water removed from this ice accumulation / growth tank is advantageous in terms of temperature and hygiene. In addition, when salt water is used as a raw material, salt water can be produced by replenishing only the salt extracted as ice. There is an effect that the cost can be kept low.

  According to the apparatus for producing salt water or seawater micronized ice configured as described above, the micronized ice produced from salt water or seawater by a freezer and a special ice maker is placed at the bottom of the ice accumulation / growth tank (2). As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, it is poured out and stored in the surface of the screen (5) from the communication pipe (10) through the injection connecting part (8). The drainage part (15) which removes the water | moisture content collected by filtering with the filler (19) of the lower part of a screen (5) is made to act. The seawater storage tank (3) provided adjacent to the ice accumulation / growth tank (2) stores seawater and is provided with a drain port (12) at the bottom, and a pump is provided at the drain port (12). (13) is connected. The micronized ice accumulated in the ice accumulating / growing tank (2) is cooled by removing the dropping lid (11) and injecting the micronized ice inside the fishery product or processed seafood container without any gap. To do.

Next, an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the production apparatus (1) is provided with an ice accumulation / growth tank (2) and a partition wall (22) to provide a seawater storage tank ( 3). In the ice accumulation / growth tank (2), a screen (5) that can be raised and lowered is laid on the bottom of the inside. The screen (5) draws out only salt water or sea water. Further, the ice accumulating / growing tank (2) has a central screen support (6) for placing the screen (5) at the center of the bottom and a peripheral screen support (for supporting the screen (5) around the bottom). 7) is provided, and a gap is formed between the screen (5) and the bottom so that only ice can accumulate.
The ice accumulating / growing tank (2) has an injection connection portion (8) in which micron-shaped ice produced by a refrigerator and a special ice maker (not shown) is injected into the lower outer periphery of one side surface. And the discharge connection part (9) for discharge | emission is installed in parallel.
