Abstract

PURPOSE:An open water tank is equipped with a transmittently rotatory stirring pipe horizontally and holes for feeding air are bored on the pipes and the stirrer is operated in both horizontal and vertical directions to keep the laver plant fresh with good taste and gloss and flixibility. CONSTITUTION:Saline water is fed into the open tank 1 and long laver algae is fed in suspension. Horizontally and transmittently rotatable stirring pipe 9 is operated and air is bubbled through holes 10 of the pipe 9. The laver algae are hung on and pulled with the stirring pipe are separated by the moment of inertia from the pipes together with the saline water, further vertical agitation by air bubbling enables the algae to be kept in a state as the algae grow in seat water.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Industrial Utilization" The present invention relates to a device for mixing seaweed raw algae with water before supplying it to a mixing machine.0 "Prior Art" Conventional Art The collected raw seaweed is immersed in cooled salt water (8°C or less) to remove air before feeding it to the pre-processing equipment of the papermaking machine, i.e., the mixing machine for producing raw material liquid for papermaking such as separation from water, mincing, washing, etc. Injected raw algae prevents deterioration and maintains freshness, taste, flexibility, color tone, gloss, etc. (Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-39633). A method of stirring under the above conditions was attempted, but it was difficult to mix the raw algae evenly.

``The problem that the invention aims to solve'' When feeding long seaweed raw algae to a mixing machine, the present invention maintains the freshness, taste, gloss, and color of the raw seaweed, gives it flexibility, and improves stirring efficiency. The purpose is to improve.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The present invention provides a horizontally intermittent rotating stirring tube in a water tank with an open top end, and an air supply hole is opened in the tube to allow the liquid in the tank to flow laterally through the pipe. It is constituted by a raw seaweed/water adjustment device formed so as to stir it by mechanical rotation and the rise of discharged air bubbles from the air supply hole in the vertical direction.

``Operation'' Therefore, saltwater such as seawater or artificial seawater is supplied into an aquarium with an opening at the top, and long seaweed algae are supplied in a floating state. Then, when the horizontal intermittent rotating stirring tube is rotated laterally around the axis and stopped after a certain period of time is repeated, the raw algae caught in the stirring tube and being pulled will become salty due to the intermittent stoppage of the stirring tube. At the same time, it separates from the same tube due to inertia. In addition, as countless air bubbles discharged from the air supply holes of the pipe rise in the salt water, the apparent specific gravity of the salt water decreases and an upward flow occurs along with the air bubbles. After rising, it descends and becomes upstream and downstream. Along with this, the raw algae are also agitated in the vertical direction. By such horizontal and vertical agitation and contact with air bubbles, the long raw algae reproduces a growth condition that is almost the same as that caused by the rising and falling of seawater, flow, etc.

``Example'' A machine frame 2 is constructed above a top-opening water tank 1. A rotatable central shaft pipe 3 is installed vertically in the center of the machine frame 2, and a slip ring 5 is attached to the discharge port of a blower 4 at its upper end. Connect by. This axial pipe extends vertically to the bottom of the 3-wall aquarium 1, connects the center part of the horizontal pipe 6 to the top and communicates with it, and provides branch pipes 7 in the middle of both sides of the horizontal pipe 6. Vertical tubes 8 are connected to the tips of the tube 6 and the branch tube 7, respectively, to form a lateral intermittent rotating stirring tube 9. A sprocket 11 is provided on the vertical pipe 3 which opens an air supply hole 10 at the lower end of the vertical pipe 8 and the vertical shaft pipe 3, and a sprocket is provided on the output shaft of the transmission 12 provided on the machine frame 2. 13 with Che 214,
Transmission 12 with forward/reverse rotary motor 15 for i5 car 16.17
The 15 motors are connected by a belt 18 and can be rotated intermittently by an automatic forward/reverse control device, or can be rotated intermittently in the same direction by an automatic intermittent stop device. The prime mover of the blower 4, 20 is an outlet for raw algae/salt water mixture, 21 is a hose for discharging oysters, 22 is a transport pump for oysters, 23 is a centrifugal separator for salt water/raw algae, and the upper end of the hose 21 is placed in its fixed container 24. Connecting. Also, a 25-piece refrigerator, 26 a suction port to the refrigerator 25, a 27-piece strainer 128 a cooling water/circulation hose, and 29 a separator 2
3 and the prime mover of pump 22, 30 mincing machine, 31 mincing seaweed cleaning machine, 32 mincing, washing seaweed dehydration trommel, and 33 mixing machine.

"Effects" Since the present invention is configured as described above, there is no fear that the long raw algae 34 collected in the previous processing stage of the papermaking preliminary equipment from the centrifuge 23 to the blender 33 will wrap around the stirring tube 9, and can be placed horizontally. Not only is the raw algae stirred evenly in the vertical and vertical directions, but also exposed to the air bubbles 35, there is no risk of deterioration or aging, and the raw algae are improved in flexibility and have good color, taste, freshness, gloss, etc., and are then extracted. The seaweed can be used as a raw material and can be of good quality.
