Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food transfer cooling device for continuously feeding heat-treated food such as bamboo rings and fried kamaboko to a cooling device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Food such as roasted bamboo rings and deep-fried fried kamaboko is sent to a cooling device after heat treatment and cooled before being packaged.
Under the present circumstances, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-76994 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-76994, heat-treated food is sent to a cooling device by a rising transfer conveyor to be cooled.

[0003]

However, in the conventional method, since the food heated at high temperature is directly fed into the cooling device for cooling, the air-cooling type cooling device becomes large and requires a large space. In addition to this, there is a problem that the cooling efficiency is also poor.

An object of the present invention is to provide a transfer cooling device for heat-treated foods, which is intended to improve such a defect and to downsize the cooling device and improve the efficiency of cooling action. is there.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a surrounding cylinder around an upright transfer conveyor provided to convey heat-treated food to the upper part of a cooling device, and A cooling air blowing device is provided in the upper part of the surrounding cylinder, and a cooling exhaust fan is provided in the lower part.

It is preferable to use a mesh bucket conveyor as the transfer conveyor, and a steam pipe and a tap water pipe are provided at the lower part of the surrounding cylinder to steam sterilize the transfer conveyor after and after the work. It is preferable to perform washing.

[0007]

Function: The heat-treated food is cooled from the upper part of the surrounding cylinder while being transferred to the upper part of the cooling device by the rising transfer conveyor.
The cooling air that has been pre- cooled by the cooling air of the air blowing device and sent to the cooling device to cool and warm the food is removed by the cooling exhaust fan.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
A transfer conveyor 3 having a mesh bucket 2 is provided on one side of a known cooling device 1 that cools foods that have been heat-treated such as deep-fried or roasted while sequentially transferring the foods from the upper part to the lower part in multiple stages. A food container such as fried kamaboko and bamboo rings that has been heat-treated is arranged to be continuously transferred to the cooling device 1, and an envelope 4 is provided around the transfer conveyor 3 and A cooling air blowing device 6 having a refrigerator 5 is provided in the upper part, and a cooling exhaust fan 7 and a food supply hole 8 are provided in the lower part.

Therefore, while the heated food supplied from the food supply hole 8 is transferred to the cooling device 1 by the rising transfer conveyor 3,
This one cooling with cooling air of the cooling air infeed device 6 flowing down downward from above, the cooling air that has reached a high temperature by this cooling effect is configured to be excluded from the cool exhaust fan 7 . A steam sterilization / cleaning device 13 including a steam pipe 9, a tap water pipe 10, a steam or water shower 11 and a dray valve 12 is provided below the surrounding cylinder 4, and the transfer conveyor 3 is sterilized and cleaned after the work is completed or before the work is started. It is configured to be able to.

[0010]

According to the present invention, an envelope is provided around a rising transfer conveyor for feeding heat-treated food to a cooling device,
Since the cooling air blowing device and the cooling air exhaust fan provided on the upper and lower portions of the surrounding cylinder are provided, the rising transfer conveyor is used.
Cooling air is blown by utilizing the action of conveying food from the bottom to the top.
Flow from the top to the bottom of the
Use the coldest cooling air for the product and the food at the beginning of the transfer process.
Smooth the food by touching each warm cooling air
Promptly quickly and efficiently with no loss of quality
While transporting while cooling, send it to the cooling device
It can be cooled, and it can be
Cooling device downsized, more compact, shorter cooling time
It has excellent characteristics and practicality that can improve the quality of food and food at the same time .
