Abstract

PURPOSE:To steam cereals in the form of grains uniformly and efficiently, by using a ribbon feeder having a steam chamber for jetting water or steam to the end plates of a rotatable drum provided the interior of the drum. CONSTITUTION:Introductory ports 3 of a drum 1 are turned upward, and introductory port lids 5 are opened to introduce cereals into the drum 1. The introductory port lids 5 are then closed to rotate the drum 1. Water is simultaneously fed from a steam supply pipe 17 through a ribbon feeder 11 into a steam chamber 12, and water is jetted from steam jetting ports 13 in the direction of the end plates in the drum 1 to wash the cereals. The introductory ports 3 are then turned downward to stop the drum 1, and steam is jetted into the drum 1 to expel the water from the drum 1. The drum 1 is then rotated to jet the steam to steam the cereals for a given time, and air is introduced from an air pipe 29 connected to the rear of a guide 23 into the drum 1 to cool the cereals.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (1) (Objective of the Invention) The present invention relates to the steaming amount of grains, and its purpose is to uniformly and efficiently steam grains while keeping them in granular form. It is in.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, the amount of steamed barley used as a raw material for 6-sun grilling was achieved by stacking JL barley in a mountain shape in a vertical tank and steaming it by injecting steam into the tank. With this amount of steaming, the barley piled up in the tank was steamed in a stationary state, resulting in poor steam passage, extremely low steaming efficiency, and wasted energy.

Furthermore, when barley is steamed in a tank and formed into grooves, the barley becomes a globular mass that is difficult to discharge from the tank after steaming, and often causes inconvenience in transporting to the next process.

(Structure of the Invention) The present invention includes a drum (:) which is rotatable around a horizontal axis and has a raw material input port and a raw material discharge port on the peripheral surface, and a ribbon screw is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the drum. A steam chamber (jacket) connected to the steam vent is provided in a part of the ribbon screw, and the steam is let out from the steam chamber into the drum to steam the raw material grains.The following examples are based on the drawings. I will explain.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, a drum 1 for storing grains as a raw material has a shaft 2 inserted through its axis and fixed thereto, and raw material inlets 3 are provided with openings at several locations on the surface. The raw material inlet 3 is closed with a net-like inlet armor 5 having a large number of through holes 4 large enough to prevent raw materials from easily passing through.

The input opening 5 is provided to be openable and closable, and in the one shown in the figure, one end is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the drum 1 with a hinge 6, and the other end is latched with a stopper 7. In the center of the drum I, raw material discharge ports 8 are provided at several locations in the circumferential direction, and the raw material discharge ports 8 are provided at several locations in the circumferential direction. ) Mouth 8 is closed. The raw material discharge port 8 can be opened and closed by sliding the discharge port filO in the circumferential direction. A ribbon screw 11 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the drum 1 in a spiral manner. The ribbon screw 11 is not continuous from one end of the drum 1 to the other, and the left half and right half of the drum 1 are arranged in the direction of the helical line and in correspondence with the rotational direction of the drum 1. A drum set! The drum 1 is provided so that the raw materials move to the center of the drum 1 as the drum 1 rotates. A hollow steam chamber 12 (jacket) is formed in the ribbon screw 11 at a portion located on the opposite side from the raw material input port 3.
In addition, a large number of steam outlets 13 are provided toward the end surface of the drum 1, and steam flows from the steam outlets 13 toward the end surface of the drum 1.
It is designed to be able to erupt inward.

In the drum l, a steam pipe 14 is provided adjacent to the steam chamber 12.
The steam pipe 14 is connected to the steam [12]. The steam pipe 14 was closed off at the 6th end (4) in Fig. 1, and the left end was provided so as to protrude outside the drum 1. The drums were placed horizontally, and one end of the pongee 2 was placed on the pedestal 15. It is supported by a bearing 16. The left end of the shaft 2 is formed hollow as described above, and the steam supply pipe 17 is connected to the hollow portion 2- in an airtight manner.

@2 rotates together with the drum l, but the steam supply pipe 17 does not rotate and is supported by the pedestal 15. A sprocket 18 is fixed to eight ends of the shaft 2, and is connected to a sprocket 20 of a drive device 1119 by a chino 21.

An annular guide 23 is provided on the pedestal 22 over almost the entire circumference of the drum I so as to surround the raw material discharge port 8 of the drum I. Although this guide 23 is fixed to the pedestal 22, it does not hinder the rotation of the drum 1. An opening 24 is provided in a part of the front side of the guide 23, and the opening 24 is normally closed by a mounting 25. One edge of the gong 25 is fixed to the guide 23 with a hinge 26,
The other edge is fixed to the guide 23 with a stopper 27 (5). The lower part of the guide 23 is opened and the discharge port 2&&
A belt conveyor or the like is provided below the discharge port 28, so that the raw material falling from the discharge port 28 can be transferred to the next process. An air t29 is connected to the back side of the guide 23 so that warm air from one circle of the drum can be exhausted to cool the raw material. Air pipe 29 has an exhaust fan II! Continued.

(Operation of the invention) In order to steam @ with the apparatus of the present invention, the raw material input port 3 of the drum 1 is directed upward, the input port lug 5 is opened, and the MH of the raw material is poured into half of the total volume of the tank 1. Where should I put it? Next, close the input port 1I15, rotate the drum 1, and
Water is directed into the drum 1 from the steam supply pipe 17 through the steam outlet 13 of the ribbon screw 11 to wash the grains. After washing with water, turn the raw material inlet 3 downward to stop the rotation of the drum 1, then blow out steam into the tank 1, and use the pressure to sufficiently drain the water remaining in the tank 16). 6° When steam comes out from the through hole 4 of #i5, rotate the drum 1 again. - type is drum 1
Fili is boiled while being stirred inside. After 1#IJ steaming is performed at a predetermined time, the steam output is stopped, and then the steamed grains are cooled. Cooling is performed while the drum 1 is rotating. If you anchor the feed + 1L machine while drum 1 is rotating,
Outside air is drawn into the drum 1 through the through hole 4 of the input port 5 and the through hole 9 of the discharge port 10, thereby cooling the items. Although it is possible to cool the grains by sending cold air into the drum 1, a suction method is preferable since there is a risk that the water in the drum 1 may scatter to the outside.

After cooling is completed, the rotation of the drum is temporarily stopped, and the guide 23 is moved. 25 is opened, the raw material discharge port 8 of the drum 1 is opened, and the shaft 25 is closed again. Next, when the drum 1 is rotated again, the grains in the drum 1 are gradually transferred to the center of the drum 1 by the ribbon screw 11 as the drum 1 rotates, and are discharged from the raw material discharge port 8 into the guide (7) 23. , and is discharged from the opening 28 through the guide 234.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention has the above configuration, the following point # is achieved.

(1) When the raw materials (@) are put into the tank, the process from washing to steaming and cooling and discharging the (-) materials can be carried out efficiently and efficiently without the need for harmful operations.

(2) Since the steaming is carried out while the drum is rotating, the @-groups are stirred during the steaming and do not form lumps in the drum.

Therefore, there is no problem in discharging the grains and transporting them to the next process.
