It is common practice to separate hot water and small fish with a vessel, and recently, as a kettle in this case, small U-shaped ends have been alternately provided at both ends in a transfer passage formed in a continuous zigzag shape. A so-called water-type kettle fryer, which supplies fish and water, passes steam generated by a boiler through a flexible tube, and boil it in a heating kettle at 92 to 100 ° C for two to three minutes, has been developed and put to practical use. I came.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned water-flow type kettle fryer is excellent in improving the efficiency as compared with the conventional one, but the flow of hot water and small fish in the transfer passage is supplied one after another. The small fish tend to sink at the bottom of the channel because they are transported relatively slowly according to the supply speed of the small fish and hot water that is supplied,
The transfer was uneven and there was a difficulty in uniformity of the fried state.
In addition, since the heating uses a boiler, there are also problems in the production cost of the kettle and the production cost of the kettle.

[0004] The present invention addresses the above-mentioned situation, and in particular, seeks to improve the transfer efficiency and the uniformity of the transfer operation by finding the improvement of the transfer passage and the change of the heating device. It is an object of the present invention to achieve a reduction in fryer manufacturing cost and kettle fry production cost.

[0005]

That is, the feature of the present invention that meets the above-mentioned object is that, first of all, as an improvement of the pot itself used in the above-mentioned pot fryer or the like, U-shaped ends are alternately provided at both ends. The transfer passage formed in a continuous zigzag shape is housed in the upper tank via a partition plate, and a heating device is disposed in the lower tank of the partition plate. At the end, a net-like portion is provided on the bottom surface on the turning side in the direction of flow to allow hot water to flow according to the flow of hot water in the transfer channel, and the heating device is constituted by a heating pipe furnace using combustion gas from a burner. It is in.

The invention according to claims 2 and 3 is a preferred structure as a practical structure of the above-described shuttle configuration. Claim 2 is that the partition plate is formed of a stainless steel plate. The wire mesh is made into a substantially 1/4 circular fan shape,
That is, the circumferential side is set at a predetermined position along the curvature of the U-shaped end.

[0007] The present invention is also characterized by a pot-lifting machine itself using the above-described pot, which comprises a bucket section, a washing section, a draining conveyor provided subsequently to the bucket section, and a washing section. The kettle according to claim 1, 2 or 3, which is provided with an inlet at a front end of a draining conveyor of the fish feeder and a water separator provided at an outlet of the kettle. It is a configuration provided with a vessel and a cooling conveyor.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, as a practical configuration of the kettle lifting machine, a receiving tank is provided at a lower portion of the water separator to receive hot water, and the hot water is supplied to an inlet side of the kettle. Reflux and reuse.

[0009]

When a small fish such as chilimen is fried in the kettle by constituting the kettle as described above, the small fish and the hot water are supplied from the inlet side, and the hot water and the small fish pass through the transfer channel formed in a zigzag shape. It is sent to the outlet side, and during that time, the hot water of 98-100 ° C heated by the lower heating device is heated to 92-100 ° C in the flow path through the partition plate to boil the small fish in the kettle. However, when the small fish moves in the channel, since the U-shaped end portion has a net portion on the turning direction in the flow direction, hot water flows from the net portion in a state accompanying the flow of the small fish, As a result, the small fish are promoted to float and tend to sink the small fish that tend to sink, thereby improving the efficiency of the kettle and uniforming the state of the kettle being fried.

At this time, the temperature of the hot water in the transfer channel is transferred through the stainless steel partition plate and is substantially stable, and the temperature of the hot water flowing from the mesh portion is substantially constant by being heated in the lower tank. At the temperature of, flows into the flow path as fresh hot water,
Enhance the effect of boiled small fish. In addition, since the net portion has a fan shape and the circumferential portion follows the U-shaped curve, the hot water flows smoothly without disturbing the hot water in the flow path due to the introduction of the hot water. Heating uses the combustion gas from the burner, so there is a large difference between the surface temperature of the heating device in the lower tank and the hot water temperature. Therefore, the cost is significantly reduced. Therefore, when a small fish such as chilimen is fried in the kettle using the above-mentioned kettle, economic efficiency is enhanced and practical use is increased.
