Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. In adding reference numerals to components of the following drawings, it is determined that the same components have the same reference numerals as much as possible even if displayed on different drawings, and it is determined that they may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention. Detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations will be omitted.

The present invention can be applied to ginseng, such as ginseng (cultivated ginseng), wild ginseng, camphor ginseng. In the following examples, ginseng is described as an example.

Of course, the present invention can be used for root vegetables that should not damage the roots in addition to ginseng.

The ginseng sterilization apparatus of the present invention is used in the ginseng surface treatment method, the ginseng surface treatment method may be configured in the process as shown in FIG.

First, the washing process of ginseng to remove soil and foreign matter on the surface of ginseng (S20), the washing step to sterilize the washed ginseng with electrolyzed water (S30), and the dehydration process to remove water from the sterilized ginseng (S40) ), And a drying step (S50) for drying to remove the residual water remaining on the surface of the ginseng having undergone the dehydration step.

Of course, the packaging process (S60) for packaging the surface-treated ginseng may be further included.

In addition, prior to the washing step (S20) is preceded by the input process (S10) for placing and supplying ginseng at regular intervals in the transport conveyor to process the ginseng.

The input process (S10) may be made of a mechanical device, or may use manpower. In the case of ginseng, however, the roots are susceptible to injury, so it is preferable to use the attraction force.

The washing step (S20) uses a method of spraying the washing water to ginseng.

In the injection of the washing water, it is important that the pressure of the washing water and the angle of the ginseng and the washing water injection direction is important. This should be controlled between the prevention of damage to ginseng and the efficiency of the wash.

The washing is sprayed by spraying the washing water using the washing water nozzle above and below the ginseng conveyed by the conveying conveyor.

At this time, the washing water is also advantageous to remove the foreign matter by giving the force by the washing water in various directions, such as foreign matters attached to the surface to the angular movement in a certain angle range.

In addition, since the washing water is sprayed from the lower part of the ginseng in the above-described manner, the conveying conveyor is composed of a pair of conveying conveyors having a gap therebetween to prevent the ginseng from being lifted upward by the washing water.

The washing process (S20) is preferably not repeated at the end of the first two to three times. That is, since foreign substances and soil attached to ginseng are hard to fall off immediately, spraying the washing water firstly plays a role of making it easy for these foreign substances and soil to fall off, and repeatedly spraying the washing water over the second and third times. It will increase the cleaning efficiency.

Next, the electrolytic water is sprayed on the ginseng past the washing process (S20) to go through a sterilization process (S30) for sterilizing the ginseng.

Electrolytic water injection method of the sterilization step (S30) is the same as the washing step (S20). Therefore, by spraying the electrolytic water, not only sterilization but also serves to assist the washing process.

Electrolyzed water has a salinity of 100 ~ 200ppm to prevent the degradation of the quality due to osmotic pressure during storage distribution of ginseng.

The dehydration step (S40) is to remove the moisture attached to the surface of the ginseng in the preceding sterilization step (S20), using a method of spraying compressed air to the ginseng through a compressed air nozzle.

When compressed air is sprayed, it is preferable to have the effect of forcibly desorbing water from the surface of ginseng due to the pressure of the compressed air in addition to the evaporation of water.

Compressed air injection method of the dehydration step (S40) is the same as the washing step (S20) except for the difference in replacing the washing water with compressed air.

In the injection of the compressed air, the pressure of the compressed air and the angle between the ginseng and the compressed air injection direction are important. This should be controlled between the prevention of damage to ginseng and the efficiency of dehydration.

At this time, the compressed air is also preferable because the angular movement in a certain angular range serves as an air knife for the ginseng flow.

The drying step (S50) removes the water finely attached to the surface of the fruits and vegetables despite the dehydration step (S34).

In addition, the drying step (S40) is to assist the sterilization step (S30), it is possible to remove the bacteria attached to the surface of the ginseng by heat. The drying method uses convection of heated air by forcibly circulating the air through a blower to the hot plate. This is difficult to rotate the ginseng, it is to use a way to circulate the air.

Therefore, the heated air is in contact with the surface of the ginseng to remove the moisture remaining on the surface of the ginseng.

The packaging process (S50) is made by a manpower, or can be automatically packed by placing a sorting machine according to the weight.
