JPH0638583U - Food dryer such as delicacy kelp for warm air circulation using electricity - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] By using an electric heater, we will use environmentally friendly electricity that can collect running heat, minimize heat loss, and reduce running costs. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a food dryer for the hot air circulation type delicacy kelp and the like. [Structure] An electric far infrared heater is used to generate heat, and warm air that has absorbed the moisture of food such as kelp is dried through a dehumidifier and then refluxed again for drying.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This plan creates a drying tunnel with a far infrared heater above the heat-resistant conveyor, installs a fan so that the warmed air flows in a certain direction, and further installs a reflux tunnel on the drying tunnel. A dehumidifier is installed in the middle, and the dried air is returned to the drying tunnel again to dry food such as delicacy kelp on the conveyor. By using this device, it is intended to enable the work, which has been mainly using sun drying or fossil fuel such as heavy oil, by electricity. The use of a dehumidifier has greatly improved the drying efficiency, so it can be used for drying other than kelp.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, this kind of thing is as follows. The delicacy kelp is dried by air-drying or using a dryer using fossil fuel such as heavy oil.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The conventional techniques described above have the following problems. When it is a dry weather, it depends on the weather. Fossil fuels such as heavy oil have the drawback that petroleum odors are attached to foods, and no energy-efficient products that satisfy processors are found in the current market. Conventional electric devices that dissipate heat have not been put to practical use due to problems in efficiency and cost. As described in the prior art, at present, electric devices have not been put to practical use due to the problem of heat loss. In addition, it was made in view of the problem of efficiency of fossil fuel use and the problem of environmental protection caused by the fact that the fire cannot be directly applied to the kelp.

The present application has been made in view of such problems of the conventional technique, and an object of the present application is to provide the following things. 1. Take environmental issues into consideration by using electric heaters. 2. The heat generated is collected as much as possible, heat loss is minimized, and running cost is reduced. 3. Do not erase the aroma of the food base.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is as follows. That is, in the case of the present application, a tunnel having a two-stage structure is provided on the conveyor, and a far-infrared ray heater is installed in the lower stage. Both ends of the lower row blow through to the upper row. A heat resistant fan is installed here to recirculate the air warmed by the heater. A dehumidifier is installed in the upper middle part, and the air containing moisture is dried here. The tunnel will have a heat insulating structure.

【Example】

 Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a food dryer such as kelp for delicacies of the present invention, which uses electricity to warm air circulation. Reference numeral 2 is a pedestal having supporting legs 2A, and a conveyor 3 is hung on the upper surface thereof. Reference numeral 4 denotes a casing arranged so as to cover the upper surface of the conveyor 3, and a door 4A for loading material is provided at the start end side of the conveyor 3 and a door 4B for product removal at the end end of the conveyor 3. Has been.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a partition plate stretched in the casing in parallel with the conveyor 3, and the partition plate forms a lower drying tunnel 6 and an upper return tunnel 7 in the casing. . A heat-resistant fan 8 acting downward is provided in the flow path 5A provided at the rear end portion of the partition plate 5, and a flow path 5B provided at the tip end portion of the partition plate 5 acts upward. A heat resistant fan 9 is provided.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a far-infrared heater arranged on the lower surface of the partition plate 5 at a predetermined interval. Reference numeral 11 denotes a dehumidifier (2000 Kcal / h) arranged at the center of the upper surface of the partition plate 5. 11A is a cooler (6000 Kcal / h) connected to this dehumidifier, 11B is a water tank, and 11C is a pipe connecting them. Reference numeral 12 is a control panel. In the figure, OA and OB are auxiliary plates for reflux, which help the warm air to reflux.

The operation of the present invention will be described together with the effects.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. 1. Foods such as kelp placed on the conveyor slowly go through the tunnel in which the air heated by the far infrared heater flows and are dried. The air containing moisture is guided to the upper drying tunnel, dried by the dehumidifier, and returned to the drying tunnel again. 2. The far infrared heater is controlled by a temperature sensor and a temperature controller so as to maintain a constant temperature. 3. Conveyor speed can be set as desired. 4. As a result, it is possible to obtain the drying that satisfies the customer.
