Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a vegetable processing device that is applied to cleaning, sterilizing, etc. of vegetables.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional example is shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a sterilization tank, which is equipped with an air blowing pipe 11 inside, a reflux path 14 with a pump 15 in communication from the outlet part 13 to the inlet part 12, and a take-out conveyor 16 arranged near the outlet part 13. has been done. Reference numeral 2 denotes a cleaning tank, which is equipped with an air blowing pipe 21 therein, a take-out conveyor 16 of the sterilizing tank 1 emerges near the inlet 22, and a take-out conveyor 26 is arranged near the outlet 23. In the above configuration, the sterilizing tank 1 is filled with water containing a sterilizing agent such as sodium hypochlorite, and while air is blown into the water from the air blowing pipe 11, the objects T, which are vegetables, are transferred to the inlet section 12.
Insert from. The water in the tank flows from the inlet part 12 of the sterilizing tank 1 to the outlet part 13 by the pump 15, and further flows back to the inlet part 12 of the sterilizing tank 1 from the reflux path 14. The material to be treated T comes into contact with the water containing the disinfectant in the tank and is sterilized while following the water flow to the outlet section 13, where it is taken out by the take-out conveyor 16, and then thrown into the inlet section 22 of the cleaning tank 2. The water in the cleaning tank 2 is used to blow air from the air blowing pipe 21 and the sterilizer is removed, and the sterilizer is removed from the outlet section 2.
3 and is taken out from the take-out conveyor 26.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the above conventional technology, the disinfectant adhering to the object to be treated during the sterilization process in the disinfection tank 1 is carried into the cleaning tank 2, and the concentration of the disinfectant in the water in the cleaning tank 2 gradually increases, so the disinfectant is frequently used. There was a problem that the water in the cleaning tank 2 had to be renewed.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a sterilization tank equipped with air blowing means and filled with water containing a sterilizer is placed in the front stage,
A shower is placed at the rear.

[Effect]

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the sterilizing agent adhering to the object to be treated during the sterilizing process in the sterilizing tank can be effectively removed by the shower.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned effect, the sterilizing agent that adheres to the object to be treated during sterilization treatment in the sterilizing tank is effectively removed by the shower, and the sterilizing agent is hardly brought into the subsequent stage, for example, the cleaning tank. In this way, vegetables can be processed safely and hygienically, and the shower provides high cleaning efficiency with a small amount of water.

[Embodiment] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in FIG. 1. In FIG.
A recirculation path 14 with a pump 15 is connected to the inlet portion 12, and a take-out conveyor 16 is disposed near the outlet portion 13. Take-out conveyor 16
is made of a porous material like a net, and a shower 3 is placed above it. Reference numeral 2 denotes a cleaning tank, which is equipped with an air blowing pipe 21 inside, a take-out conveyor 16 for the sterilization tank 1 emerges near the inlet part 22, and an outlet part 2.
A take-out conveyor 26 is arranged near 3. Like the conveyor 16, the take-out conveyor 26 is made of a porous material such as a net, and the shower 4 is disposed above it.

In the above configuration, the sterilizing tank 1 is filled with water containing a sterilizing agent such as sodium hypochlorite or acetic acid, heated to about 40 to 70°C if desired, and air is introduced into the water from the air blowing pipe 11. While blowing, vegetables or processed vegetable products such as pickles are introduced into the sterilization tank 1 from the inlet 12 as objects T to be treated. During such treatment, the water in the tank flows from the tank 1 inlet 12 to the outlet 13 by the pump 15, and then flows through the reflux path 14.
The water flows back to the tank 1 inlet 12. The material to be treated T is sterilized in the tank by coming into contact with water containing the disinfectant, and is carried along with the water flow to the outlet section 13 and taken out by the take-out conveyor 16. and conveyor 16
The object to be treated T is sprayed with water by the shower 3 above.
Wash off the disinfectant adhering to the Thereafter, the material to be treated T is transferred from the conveyor 16 to the inlet 2 of the cleaning tank 2.
It will be put into 2. In the cleaning tank 2, the workpiece T is cleaned while blowing air into the water in the cleaning tank 2 from an air blowing pipe 21. The workpiece T from which the disinfectant has been completely removed is delivered to the outlet 23 of the cleaning tank 2.
When it reaches this point, it is taken out from the take-out conveyor 26, and is sprayed with water by the shower 4 to be completely washed.
