Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a cleaning device for shellfish such as mussels, oysters and/or scallops.

During collection, production, or harvesting, shellfish are exposed to colonies and sediments of lower organisms such as algae, Organic materials such as sludge and slime, and minerals such as lime and other covering materials Covered by quality. These shellfish must therefore be prepared before being processed for food or Must be washed before consumption.

According to conventional technology, cleaning is done by hand brushing or scraping. It was done. This operation takes a lot of time and is not recommended due to the high hourly wage. Always expensive. Because it takes a lot of time and a lot of money, it is difficult to prepare high-class cuisine. Restaurants should refrain from serving these small shellfish, especially when entertaining guests. The trend has been increasing.

Notwithstanding the above, it is possible to provide shellfish, and in doing so, the necessary Chemical cleaning of shellfish has been used to reduce costs. this In cleaning, shellfish are immersed in an alkaline cleaning solution and kept in this alkaline cleaning solution for a period of time. Change the water and stir to distribute the alkaline cleaning solution to all parts of the shellfish's external surface. I have to.

However, even if the shellfish is washed with water after such chemical cleaning, the taste will not deteriorate. Apart from being unavoidable, from the perspective of food laws and food removal from residual substances. From a security point of view, this method of cleaning raises serious questions.

The present invention is substantially effortless and has low labor costs, and is therefore inexpensive and inexpensive. What kind of chemically active substances make it possible to consume and enjoy food at affordable prices again? Our basic objective is to provide a shellfish cleaning device that is characterized by cleaning without the use of do.

According to the present invention, this problem is solved by providing a chamber for accommodating a large amount of shellfish, and mutually connecting the chambers.
