Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing bean products, particularly for manufacturing bean products such as amanatto, bean paste, and bean confectionery, in which the beans are boiled and seasoning liquid is permeated. It relates to equipment used in the process.

Conventional technology Bean products such as amanatto, bean paste, and bean sweets generally involve a process of soaking the raw beans in water to remove the lye, boiling the beans from which the lye has been removed, and soaking the boiled beans in a sugar solution. Traditionally, the process of boiling the beans and the process of permeating the seasoning liquid into the beans were done in separate containers, and the containers had to be transferred to move on to the next process. Ta.

Moreover, in order to penetrate the sugar solution, conventional methods were to boil it down in a pot, reduce the pressure in a vacuum concentrator, or prepare multiple containers with different concentrations of sugar solution and immerse them in concentrated sugar solution one after another. In either case, it is difficult for the concentration of the sugar solution to become uniform throughout the whole, that is, the concentration tends to be higher in the lower layer than in the upper layer, which causes variations in the degree of penetration of the sugar solution into the beans, resulting in poor quality of the product. This tends to cause unevenness.

It is also known that an agricultural shrinkage device is loaded with baskets containing beans stacked in several tiers, and a stirring device is installed to stir the sugar solution, but because the basket is inside, the stirring effect is This is insufficient to make the sugar solution homogeneous. ``In order to deal with the above-mentioned problems, a method has recently been developed in which a basket containing beans is placed in a heating container, the container is heated to boil the beans, and then a seasoning liquid is forced to circulate. According to this method, the process of boiling the beans and the process of permeating the seasoning liquid into the beans are performed in one container, so there is no need to transfer the beans, and because the seasoning liquid is forced to circulate, the degree of permeation of the seasoning liquid is improved. It has the advantage of making the product uniform and uniform, but in the boiling process, the container used as the boiling pot must be covered with a lid when moving to the next process to circulate the seasoning liquid during the seasoning process. It is necessary to replace the boiler, or open and close the opening or inlet, which requires work and reduces work efficiency. There were times when steam would rise and it was necessary to quickly remove the steam to prevent it from interfering with work.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention This invention solves the above problems by making it possible to move from the boiling process to the seasoning liquid penetration process without replacing the lid or opening or closing the opening or inlet. The aim is to provide a manufacturing device for this purpose.

Means for Solving the Problems The device of the invention is therefore provided with a seasoning liquid concentration tank separate from the container used in the process of boiling the beans and impregnating the seasoning liquid.

That is, the present invention provides a boiling pot into which a basket containing beans is loaded, a heating means for heating the boiling pot, a concentrating device for concentrating a seasoning liquid, and a concentrating seasoning liquid discharged from the device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a device having a pump that supplies a boiling pot and a discharge pipe that sends a seasoning liquid discharged from the boiling pot to a concentrating VT device.

In the present invention, water may be supplied to the boiling pot in the boiling process when the lid is opened to load the basket, but preferably a water supply pipe is provided separately.
Further, the water after boiling is discharged by providing a separate discharge pipe, or by using a seasoning liquid supply pipe or a discharge pipe.

The seasoning liquid sent to the boiling pot by the pump may be supplied from the top of the boiling pot and then discharged from the bottom.
It is preferable to supply the seasoning liquid from the lower part of the boiling pot and discharge it from the upper part, since it is possible to drain the overflowing seasoning liquid to the concentrator using potential energy without using a pump. be.

For example, a concentrating device is a device that increases the concentration by evaporating water when seasoning liquid is sprayed from above and dripping.In the above-mentioned type of device, a fan is used to suck out steam to promote evaporation. It is desirable to do so.

Embodiment A boiling pot 2 having an openable and closable lid 1 is loaded with a basket (not shown) in which beans are put, and a jacket 3 is provided on the outside. 2 can be heated. 5 is a solenoid valve whose opening/closing is controlled by a temperature sensor 6, 7 is a trap, and 8 is a drain pipe.

It is preferable to perform the lye extraction process in a separate container, but
This can also be done with this device.In the case of this device, open the lid L of the boiling pot 2, load the basket containing beans, and then close the M1.Next, the solenoid valve 11 is opened by a signal from the control device. , water is injected into the boiling pot 2 through the water supply pipe 9. At this time, the electromagnetic valve 12 is closed, so water is stored in the boiling pot 2. When a certain amount of water is reached and the basket is immersed, the solenoid valve 11 is closed. After that, it is left as it is for the required period of time, and the lye is removed.

After removing the lye, the solenoid valve 12 is opened and the lye is drained.

Then, the solenoid valve 11 is opened again and water washing is performed.

The solenoid valve 12 is then closed and water is stored again.

When Mercury reaches a certain amount, operate solenoid valve 1 in the same manner as above.

Steam is introduced through the jacket 3.

This heats the boiling pot 2 and boils the beans. The cooled and liquefied water droplets are discharged through the drain pipe 8, but the reduced pressure caused by this is constantly replenished through the inlet pipe 4 to heat the boiling pot. The temperature inside the boiling pot is controlled by a temperature sensor 6, and maintained at a constant temperature by opening and closing a solenoid valve 5.

When the page is boiled after a certain period of time, the solenoid valve 5 is closed. Next, the manual pulp 43 is opened and the steam inside the jacket is discharged through the drain pipe. Then, the pulp 12 is opened and the hot water in the boiling pot is discharged.

Next, with the solenoid valves 26, 20 and 30 opened and the solenoid valves 19, 27 and 28 closed, the pump 13 is driven and the sugar solution is pumped from the sugar solution tank 17 to the branch pipe 22, the branch pipe 18 and the pipes. It is supplied from the bottom to the boiling pot 2 through 1O.

The supplied sugar solution increases in volume, and when the liquid level reaches the discharge port, it is discharged from the discharge pipe 31, sprayed from the shower 34, and gradually accumulates in the concentration tank. When a certain amount of money has accumulated and a level sensor (not shown) detects it, the solenoid valve 26 is closed and the supply of sugar solution from the sugar solution tank 17 is stopped.
7 is opened, and the sugar solution in the concentration tank is sent to the boiling pot 2 via the branch pipe 23, pump 13, branch pipe 18, and pipe 10, and is circulated.

The pulp 5 is opened before or after the circulation of the sugar solution starts or the supply of the sugar solution to the boiling pot 2, and steam is sent to the jacket 3 again to heat the boiling pot 2. Therefore, the circulating sugar solution is heated in the boiling pot and then dispersed in the concentration tank, and the steam generated there is sucked out by the blower 32, thereby gradually concentrating it. Then, it is boiled down in the boiling pot and penetrated into the beans. Permeation of the liquid continues until there is no sugar liquid in the concentration tank, at which point the pulp 5 is closed and the supply of steam to the jacket 3 is stopped, and the pulp 20 is closed and the pulps 28 and 19 are opened and boiled. Residual sugar solution in the pot is pipe 1o, branch pipes 24 and 16
The sugar solution is returned to the sugar solution tank 17 through the steps. Pump 13 then stops.
