CONSTITUTION:A raw material feed opening 3 is made at the periphery side of a rotary drum 1 equipped with a great number of small holes and an air mat 4 is internally set inside the drum. A semicylindrical desalting tank 5 is fixed at the outside of the drum and the rotary drum and the desalting tank are held on a revolving shaft 6. The desalting tank 5 is filled with water, the raw material is desalted and the air mat 4 is swollen to squeeze vegetables, etc.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a desalting and pressing machine used as a pretreatment for the main pickling of vegetables or the like which have been pickled for storage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various improvements in the desalting process, which is said to affect the quality of pickles, and research has been conducted on stirring devices, washing devices, etc. Generally, automatic shifting of stirring speed and washing water are performed. It is limited to eliminating uneven desalination by adjustment.

[0003]

Further, the pressing after desalting is also carried to a pressing machine provided as a separate device and pressed by a hydraulic cylinder, and in any case, transfer of this material, etc. It requires time and effort.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of earnest research to eliminate such heavy work such as transfer of materials, the applicant carried out desalting and squeezing with the same device, and also used an air mat as a squeezing means. It is intended to provide a desalting press for pickles which can be extremely easily and cleanly used.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the salted material for pickling is put into the rotary drum (1) and water is put into the desalting tank (5) on the outside. Then, the rotary drum (1) is inverted and air is sent to the air mat (4) located above to expand and pressurize the air mat (4). By repeating this operation while exchanging the water in the desalination tank (5), sufficient desalination can be achieved. The desalted raw material is to remove water and invert the desalination tank (5) to take out the raw material. Therefore, all steps of desalting and pressing can be performed with the same device at the same position.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a drum (1) with a section cut away when raw materials are charged, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the drum (1) and a desalination tank ( Fig. 5 shows a cross-sectional view when the raw material is taken out, in which 5) is reversed. Further, FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of FIG.

In the figure, (1) is a cylindrical rotary drum, and a large number of small holes (2) for water permeation are provided on the peripheral surface of the rotary drum (1). A raw material inlet (3) is openably and closably provided at the center of the peripheral surface of the rotary drum (1). Further, an air mat (4) is installed on the inner peripheral surfaces of the charging port (3) facing each other to form a rotary drum, and a semicircular cylinder is provided outside the rotary drum (1) in a desalination tank (5). ), And both are mounted on the rotary shaft (6). Further, a drainage port (7) is provided at a central position on the side of the desalination tank (5) that faces the raw material input port (3) of the rotary drum (1).

Therefore, the pickled raw material that has been salted and stored is fed into the rotary drum (1) through the raw material inlet (3), and only the rotary drum (1) is inverted to move the air mat (4) upward. By positioning and pouring water into the desalting tank (5) and sending air into the air mat (4), the air mat (4) expands and squeezes the salted raw material.

Therefore, the water in the desalination tank (5) penetrates into the raw material through the small holes (2) for water permeation provided in the peripheral surface of the rotary drum (1) to perform desalination, and further the water is exchanged. After repeating desalting, the raw material is completely desalted and the water is drained from the drainage port (7), and then air is sent to the air mat (4) to expand it and squeeze to perform desalination tank (5). Only the material is inverted and the raw material inlet (3) is opened to take out the desalted raw material.

FIG. 4 and subsequent figures are examples of processing steps, wherein FIG. 4 shows the introduction of raw materials, FIG. 5 shows the desalting tank (5) with water for desalting, and FIG. 6 shows the desalting tank. The water of (5) is drained and air is sent to the air mat (4) to squeeze and squeeze the water. In FIG. 7, the desalting tank (5) is inverted to take out the raw material, and the taken out raw material is main-pickled and processed into a product.

[0011]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, the same apparatus is used for desalting and squeezing at the same place. Therefore, the desalting apparatus and the squeezing apparatus can be installed in a different place and the work to be performed while carrying the raw materials can be omitted. There is an effect that work can be performed extremely efficiently without the need for a work space.
