A seasoning liquid for pickling is aseptized with the aseptizing filter 32 and the aseptized liquid is filled in a packaging bag 54.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of filling a pickling seasoning liquid (pickle) into a packaging bag and a pickle filling device used in the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, pickles have been heat-sterilized and then filled in a packaging bag for pickles.

[0003]

However, the sterilization of heat-treated soup will significantly impair the flavor of the soup.
If spores of a bacterium are formed by heat sterilization at about ℃, the spores of the bacterium may not be completely sterilized, and even if the spores are not formed, they survive in a boiling hot spring. As the fungi have been confirmed, there is a problem that thermostable bacteria cannot be removed and sterilization is insufficient.
Further, even if it is sterilized by heating, there is a problem that the bacteria adhering to the tank propagate during the storage of the pickled juice in the tank.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides a sterilizing filter (3
Provide a method for filling pickle soup, which carries out the sterilization according to 2) and fills the packaging bag (54) with the pickled seasoning liquid that has been sterilized, and further to the pickling sterilization filter (32) and the packaging bag (54). Means for filling pickles (5
A pickle filling device (1) comprising the above (1) is provided.

[0005]

In the present invention, the pickled seasoning liquid (pickle) is completely sterilized by the sterilization filter (32), and the sterilized pickle is immediately filled in the packaging bag (54). The sterilization by the sterilization filter (32) does not denature the pickle, and the pickle is immediately filled from the sterilization filter (32) into the packaging bag (54), so that there is no contamination by microorganisms during that time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The soup filling device (1) is a soup pre-filter.
(11), the sterilization pre-filtration device (21), the sterilization device (31), the soup stock introduction pipes (3,4,5) that connect them, and the packaging bag
The suction bag opening device (5) for the packaging bag (54)
It consists of 1).

The pickling prefilter (11) comprises a filter frame (13A) and a filter cloth.
(13B) and the filter media (12) are stacked in multiple stages, the stay boards (15A) and (15B) are arranged one above the other, and the fixed columns (16) are inserted and the nuts (17) are used to stack the filter media (12). ) The stayboard (1
It is of a filter press type in which it is sandwiched and fixed between 5A) and (15B), and the introduction pipe (3) is connected from the pump (2) to the pickling prefilter (11). The pickling prefilter (11) stacks while changing the number of filter media (12) to be used according to the amount of pickling.
The introduction pipe (4) is connected to the sterilization pre-filtration device (21) from the pickle pre-filtration device (11), and a cylindrical sterilization pre-filtration material with multiple cotton threads wound inside the tank body (22). (23) is installed.

The pickle pre-filter (11) and the disinfection pre-filter (21) are necessary when the used pickle is regenerated and used, and are not necessary when new pickle is used. When unnecessary, the introduction pipe (3) from the pump (2) is directly connected to the sterilization device (31). The disinfection device (31) is connected to the introduction pipe (5) from the disinfection pre-filtration device (21), and the soup filling pipe (41) is further extended from the bottom to the soup filling pipe (41). Is equipped with a solenoid valve (42). In addition, the hollow fiber membrane (3
A cylindrical sterilization filter (32) consisting of 2) is installed.

A suction type bag opening device (5 for opening the packaging bag (54)
1) is arranged directly below the pickling liquid filling pipe (41) of the sterilization device (31), and the suction-type bag opening device (51) is a pair of left and right holes in which a large number of holes (52) are formed. It consists of jigs (55,55), and vacuum hoses (53,53) are connected to the jigs (55,55), respectively.

In addition to the above construction, the pickle prefilter may have a structure using a filter paper, a sand layer or the like as a filter material. As the sterilization filter, a plastic foam having fine continuous pores, a ceramic porous body, or the like may be used. In the soup filling device (1) having the above-mentioned configuration, first, a sterilization process, which is an alternative to the conventional heat sterilization, is performed by the squeeze prefilter (11), the sterilization prefilter (21) and the sterilization device (31) .

When the pickle to be treated is a used one, diatomaceous earth is dispersed in the pickle and the pump (2) is used to pass the pickle prefilter (3) through the pickle introduction pipe (3). 11),
The filter cloth (13B) of the filter medium (12) of the soup stock prefilter (11) is precoated. After the precoating, the soup stock is introduced into the soup stock prefilter (11) by the pump (2), and the introduced soup stock is filtered by the filter medium (12) in the presoup stock filter (11). Pre-filtration occurs as it passes through the cloth (13B). If the pickle to be used is colored, decolorization is carried out by dispersing activated carbon in the pickle and allowing it to stand for several hours before the preliminary filtration. The activated carbon is removed during pre-filtration. The pickled juice regenerated by being prefiltered in this way is sent to the disinfection prefiltering device (21) through the pickling introduction pipe (4). As described above, when it is not necessary to sterilize and pre-filter the pickled juice, the sterilized pre-filtering device (21) is not used, and the pickled juice is pickled and pre-filtered (11).
It is directly introduced into the disinfection device (31) through the pickling introduction pipe (4). The pickled juice introduced into the disinfection pre-filtration device (21) is
Sterilization preliminary filtration material installed in the disinfection preliminary filtration device (21)
After passing through (23), the bacteria are prefiltered and introduced into the bacteria removing device (31) through the pickling introduction pipe (5). In the sterilization preliminary filtration step, a fine solid content of about 1 to 4 μm is removed by filtration. The pickled juice introduced into the sterilization device (31) passes through the sterilization filter (32), whereby impurities are filtered and sterilized.

The pickled juice sterilized as described above is filled into the packaging bag (54) through the pickling filling pipe (41) as follows. The packaging bag (54) is connected to a pair of right and left jigs (55, 55) of the suction type bag opening device (51) from the vacuum hose (53, 53) to the hole (52) of the jig (55, 55). ) Via vacuum suction, and when the packaging bag (54) is opened, the solenoid valve (42) attached to the soup filling pipe (41) is opened and a certain amount of soup is packed in the packaging bag (5).
4), then the solenoid valve (42) is closed and the filling of the soup is completed, the vacuum suction of the packaging bag (54) is stopped, and the packaging bag is closed.
(54) is removed from the suction type bag opening device (51). After that, a new packaging bag (54) is attached to the suction type bag opening device (51), and the filling of the pickle is repeated.

If the pickle used in the present invention is new, the pickle prefilter (11) and the disinfection prefilter (21)
Thus, the bacteria can be directly sterilized by the sterilization device (31) and filled in the packaging bag (54) without preliminary filtration.

[0014]

Therefore, in the present invention, pickles can be packaged by using the pickles that have been completely sterilized without impairing the flavor of the pickles.
