Description

Cooling transfer device for food}

The present invention relates to a cold transfer device for food, and more particularly to a cold transfer device for food for the efficient transfer of foods fried at high temperature and effective cooling treatment.

In general, in the case of fish cake fried at a high temperature in the food is used a cooling transfer device to perform a cooling treatment to cool the heat of the fish cake generated after frying in the process of transporting to facilitate refrigeration storage.

In the case of a conventional cooling transfer device for conveying and cooling fish paste, a chamber chamber including a cooling apparatus is provided, and a mesh conveyor consisting of a mesh belt and a driving chain is formed inside the chamber chamber in multiple stages. When the horizontal transfer by a predetermined distance is configured to drive in the zigzag direction so that the conveyor can fall freely from the upper side conveyor to the lower side conveyor to transfer in the opposite direction.

However, in the conventional cooling transfer apparatus, the cooling method cools the whole inside of the chamber chamber so that the cooling air cooled from the cooling apparatus does not directly close to the product. As a result of cooling the product with the air having a high temperature, the efficiency is lowered and the flow rate in the entire chamber is slowed (ie, the relative flow rate of the cooling air).

And in the case of the mesh conveyor conveying the fish paste, guides are installed on both sides of the mesh belt to prevent the fish paste from falling off. As friction occurs between the fish cake and the guide fixedly installed at the free fall of the conveyor by the lower conveyor, the fish cake rolls in between the guide and the drive chain, or the fish cake becomes stagnated on the upper side of the guide. When continuous work is done, the neglected fish paste slowly decays and contaminates other products, which adversely affects quality. In addition, as lubricating oil is used for smooth operation of the drive chain for driving the mesh belt, the lubricating oil contaminates the mesh belt and contaminates even products.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, by independently providing cooling air to each conveyor section for transporting food to make the cooling air directly contact the food itself during transport, to maximize the cooling effect It consists of a cooling dedicated conveyor, and a secondary conveyor that can be operated simultaneously with the cooling dedicated conveyor on both sides of the cooling dedicated conveyor effectively prevents food from being caught by friction with the surrounding facilities of the conveyor and is not contaminated.
