The present invention relates to a germination and drying apparatus for cereals, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for germination and drying of cereals, more particularly, to germinate and dry cereals such as barley in a single tank, Gt; germination < / RTI >

As is generally known, malt is an edible saccharification-decomposing enzyme made by using dried sprouts by applying water to wheat and barley.

Malt is also commonly called malt or corn, and it is used to make beer and other sake or to make sikhye. It is also a food that gives flavor and fragrance to various baked foods, sugary foods, grain foods, syrups It is used.

As described above, the malt may be germinated by watering the barley or the like, drying it, pulverizing it, and producing malt according to the size of the pulverized particles.

On the other hand, in the case of producing the malt as described above, especially in the case of a manufacturer producing a large amount of malt, the following troublesome problems have arisen.

In other words, after washing the covering, an appropriate amount of moisture is supplied to the covering and germinated, and the germinated barley is dried again by being conveyed to the drying device. Normally, the malt maker manufactures barley of several hundred Kg, The barley was first germinated in a tank for washing the barley, or in a washing and germinating tank, and then the germinated barley was transferred to the drying device again and then dried.

Therefore, it takes a lot of labor and time to transport the barley germinated in the washing tank or the washing and germination tank to the drying apparatus. As a result, not only the time for manufacturing the malt was delayed but also the productivity was decreased have.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to solve the structural problems of conventional germinating and drying apparatuses, And to provide a germinating and drying apparatus for grains capable of drying high quality grains.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Since the cleaning process of the grain according to the present invention is independent of the gist of the present invention, a separate description thereof will be omitted and a process for supplying moisture for germination of the grain will be described.

1, the grains unfolded on the loading plate 20 in the state where the washing is completed are moved in the forward and backward directions of the moving unit 30 and at the same time by the rotation of the rotating unit 40, It will be unfolded while maintaining a uniform thickness on the upper surface.

That is, in order to germinate the grain, the driving wheel 33 provided on the shaft is driven by the driving force of the first driving motor 32 of the moving part 30 and is moved forward and backward through the rail 31 At the same time, the second driving motor 41 of the rotary part 40 rotates to rotate the screw 45, and the grain loaded by the rotating screw 45 is evenly mixed.

At this time, the second drive motor 41 of the rotation unit 40 is driven to rotate the shaft 42, and the drive gear 43, which is installed in the shaft 42, rotates the interlocked gear 44 do.

Therefore, the screw 45 axially installed in the interlocking gear 44 rotates idly and moves forward and backward together with the moving part 30 to evenly spread the grain accumulated on the loading plate 20.

At the same time, the water supply unit 70 receives water through the opened water supply valve 71 and supplies water for germination through a water supply hole 73 formed in the water supply pipe 72.

Moisture is supplied to the grains accumulated on the loading plate 20 by the organic and repetitive operation of the moving unit 30, the rotation unit 40 and the water supply unit 70, and when the set time has elapsed, .

The fan heater 51 of the hot air supply unit 50 is operated to supply heat through the hot air outlet 52. [

The hot air supplied by the above operation flows through the drain hole 21 formed in the loading plate 20 as shown by an advantageous arrow shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 2, and the germinated grain is dried.

In the drying process, the moving unit 30 and the rotating unit 40 may be operated simultaneously or independently by the user, so that the germinated grains are evenly stirred and formed on the loading plate 20 The hot air is efficiently introduced through the drain hole 21 to promote drying.

On the other hand, when drying of the cereal germinated by the above operation is completed, the cereal is transported by a separate process, crushed, and then packaged as a product.

After the germination and drying process is completed as described above, the grains remaining on the upper surface of the loading plate 20 are moved to the one place by the braid 46 installed on the lower side of the screw 45.

Of course, at this time, the rotating part 40 does not rotate, and the remaining grain by the forward and backward movement of the moving part 30 will be moved to one place.

Industrial Applicability As described above, the present invention can increase productivity and reduce workforce since grains can be put into a single tank, and the seeds can be washed after germination and drying.

While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, As will be understood by those skilled in the art.

Therefore, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, It is intended that all changes and modifications derived from the equivalent concept be included within the scope of the present invention.
