JPS58209966A - Peanut borer for seasoning - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:As being sent by conveyors which hold the hulls on both top and bottom sides, peanuts are bored with the vertically moving needles to permit easy seasoning of peanuts with hulls. CONSTITUTION:The lower conveyor 1 provided with a plurality of rods 1a in an appropriate interval and the upper conveyor 2 with a similar structure to the above are arranged in parallel, they are made to move in the same direction at the same speed, as they are opposing to each other. Peanuts with hulls are nipped between these conveyors 1, 2 and sent, while the hole-boring lever 5 that are set over the conveyors, arranged at a right angle to the conveyor-advancing direction and provided with a plurality of needles 4 on the lower side is made to move vertically so that peanut shells are bored by the needles passing through between the rods of the conveyors 2. Namely, peanuts are efficiently bored without skipping to facilitate seasoning of peanuts with hulls.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for making holes in the shell of flavored peanuts in order to infiltrate the interior of the peanuts with a seasoning liquid to season the peanuts.

Peanuts in the shell have a taste of being eaten while being peeled, and are quite delicious, but because the shell is attached, it is not possible to add flavor to them, so they are currently sold as is. be.

Peanuts have a good taste even without seasoning,
It becomes even more delicious if you add an appropriate amount of salt or sweetness to it.

In particular, imported products may have inferior taste depending on their origin,
Some products cannot be sold as products if they are still in the shell.

Such low-quality peanuts are attractive because they are inexpensive, and by seasoning them, we are trying to provide inexpensive and delicious products to the market.

The following description will be made with reference to the attached illustrative drawings.

The lower conveyor (1) has a large number of o, ) (11L) arranged in parallel at appropriate intervals, and the upper conveyor (1) has a similar structure.
2) in parallel, each E' y ) (l
a) (2a) The lower conveyor (1) and the upper conveyor (2
), while feeding the shelled peanuts (3) between them, a hole is placed above the upper conveyor (2) in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the conveyor, and a number of needles (4) are lined up downward. Light frame (
5) by moving up and down so that the needle (4) is connected to the upper conveyor (2).
A hole is made in the shell of the shelled peanut (3) by passing between the lofts of the shell.

The operation of the upper conveyor (2) and the vertical movement of the perforated frame (5) are mechanically linked, so that the lowering of the needle (4) is the opening of the upper conveyor (2). ) is synchronized so that it passes through the gap.

Further, the perforation frame (5) is raised and lowered with a constant stroke by a universal structure using a crank, a cam, an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or the like.

Peanuts with shells (in March, as shown in Fig. 1, they are supplied from the hopper (6) onto the lower conveyor (1), and the fields shown in (B) of this lower conveyor (1) are ) by applying rotation or vibration to the lot (l) of shelled peanuts (3).
What is aligned between a) and (2a) is (4)
The hole-piercing frame (5) descends as shown by the phantom line in Figure 2, and immediately after piercing the peanut shell, )
The hole punching frame (5) is raised and lowered once for each pitch of the upper conveyor (2), and after the holes are drilled without any leakage, it falls from the end of the lower conveyor (1) and another hole is removed. The product is placed on a conveyor or placed in a separate container and sent to the next seasoning process, where it is dipped in a seasoning liquid, seasoned, and then dried to become a product.

In addition, in the example diagram, a hole punching frame (5) is arranged above the upper conveyor (2) and holes are punched with a downward needle (4), but this can be reversed. It is also possible to place a hole punching frame (5) under the lower conveyor (1) and punch holes with the needles (4) facing upward.

As described above, the present invention has the feature of being able to efficiently puncture peanut shells without leaking any pulp, and has the effect of easily seasoning shelled peanuts.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A lower conveyor and an upper conveyor, in which a large number of lots are lined up at appropriate intervals, are arranged parallel to each other, and while peanuts with shells are sandwiched between them and fed, they are placed outside the upper or lower conveyor in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor's traveling direction. , a flavoring device characterized in that a punching frame with a large number of needles lined up on the conveyor side is reciprocated up and down so that the needles pass through the gap between the mouth and bottom of the conveyor and punch holes in the peanut shell. A device for drilling holes in peanut shells.
