Description

Sand blast type chestnut peeling device {SAND BLAST TYPE CHESTNUT PEELER}

The present invention relates to a chestnut peeling device, and more particularly, to a sandblasting chestnut peeling device for peeling chestnuts by spraying edible substances such as salt at night in a sanding blasting method.

In general, chestnuts are nut fruits, with contents corresponding to the pulp inside, and the outside of the fruit is covered with a thin inner skin, and the outside is surrounded by a hard outer skin. .

Looking at the domestic product production and market status of chestnuts, chestnut production in 2019 is expected to be around 53,000 tons, a decrease of 6% from 2018 due to difficulties in cultivation management due to aging of farm households and a decrease in the labor force and low prices received from farms. Exports of chestnuts in 2019 are expected to decrease by 2% from the previous year to 8,600 tons, and imports are projected to be 11,570 tons, up 1% from the previous year, mainly led by frozen chestnuts.

In addition, it is predicted that chestnut production will decrease by an average of 2% per year over the next 10 years, reaching 42,000 tons in 2028.

And, looking at the status of overseas product production and market, as China's production and export of forest products increase, the competitive position of our forest products in the international market is being established.

About 340 farms in Australia produce 1,200 tons per year, 100% of which is supplied locally, and there is no awareness of Korean products in markets other than Korean and Asian food stores.

The production of processed foods using chestnuts is minimal, and there are no large processing plants, and some farms manufacture products such as chestnut flour and chestnut meal and use them to make cakes or muffins.

France is an extinct volcanic region to the east of South Fire. It is a mountainous region of Volvic, where French cloud water comes from. It is a valley and hilly region with clear and abundant water. 97% of all French chestnut varieties are produced in the region.

Recently, the area and production of chestnuts are declining sharply due to drought, relocation, and lack of agricultural technology. am.

China's chestnut production is the largest in the world, and it is one of the important export commodities among Chinese economic forest products. Close is being exported to Japan.

As the demand for chestnuts increases, the market demand has reached more than 2 million tons, and the demand for processed products is also increasing.

Looking at the price of chestnuts, chestnut prices continued to decline despite the decrease in production in chestnut production areas in 2009. The reason is that supply exceeded demand in 2009 and exports decreased due to the financial crisis.

On the other hand, chestnut-processed products include matt chestnut, chestnut puree, chestnut yokan, chestnut candy, and marrongrass, but research on the peeling processing technology of domestic chestnuts has not been put to practical use. The chestnut processing industry is stagnating due to low consumer preference and low added value.

The chestnut processing industry in Korea is not making great progress despite the fact that it is difficult to mass-produce peeled chestnuts, which are raw materials, and the annual production of chestnuts is 70,000 tons. In addition, as the labor cost of manual labor for peeled chestnuts rises in Korea, many production facilities for peeled chestnuts are transferred to China, and domestic chestnut raw materials are exported to China.

Moreover, Korean chestnuts are known to be the best varieties in the world in terms of size and quality due to their thick seeds, firm flesh, and high sugar content and other nutrients. Since there is no processing technology that can be used, it is a big obstacle to developing domestic demand for chestnuts and increasing overseas exports.

In order to eat these chestnuts, the outer and inner skins have to be peeled off, but the outer skin is tough and firm, and the inner skin is closely attached to the flesh. It takes a lot of time, especially when peeling a large amount of chestnut skins, as well as labor costs, there is a problem that requires more time.

In order to solve this problem, the chestnut peeling machine of domestic patent registration No. 10-1155034, the inner and outer skin removal detachable chestnut peeling device of No. 10-1251289, the chestnut peeling device of No. 10-1742243, and the chestnut peeling machine of No. 10-1996509 A peeling device and the like are disclosed.

Hereinafter, the operation of the sand blast type chestnut peeling device according to the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

First, chestnuts are put into the blade-type peeler 300 to first remove some of the outer skin and endothelium, and then it is supplied to the supply conveyor 210 .

The chestnuts are supplied along the supply conveyor 210 to the circular rotating barrel 252 rotated by the rotating motor 253 through the input hopper (I) provided in the case 251 of the sand blast stripping skin 250 . At this time, the chestnuts put into the input hopper (I) fall in a zigzag along the inclined bulkhead (W) and put into the circular rotary tube 252 at a low speed, which is a circular rotary tube 252 when the dropping speed of chestnuts is high. ), because it cannot stay in, and can pass straight through.

At the same time, the sand material input from the storage hopper 220 to the pressure tank 230 is supplied to the sanding pipe 254 of the sand blast stripper 250 along the high-pressure air of the transfer pipe 240 to the sanding nozzle 255. It is injected into the circular rotary tube 252 by the.

Then, while the circular rotary tube 252 is rotated, the chestnut input is rotated by the rotary jaw (B) and at the same time slowly moved to the exit side, by the sand material sprayed at high pressure from the sanding nozzle 255 to the blade-type peeler 300. The remaining endothelium that has not been removed is secondarily shed during primary removal by

The chestnuts discharged from the exit of the circular rotary tube 232 after peeling are transported by dropping to the discharge conveyor 260 .

The chestnuts transported along the discharge conveyor 260 are washed by salt water sprayed while passing through the washing machine 270, dried by warm air while passing through the dryer 280, and then dropped into a storage container (not shown). Complete the escape.

On the other hand, during sanding, the outer shell, the inner shell, and the sand material are dropped to the vibrating screen 256 at the bottom through the drop hole H of the circular rotary tube 252 .

Then, the vibrating screen 256 separates and sorts the sand material and the foreign material of relatively large particles, and the foreign material is discharged to the outside through the outlet O, and the sand material and the foreign material of the relatively small particle fall.

On the other hand, the sand material falling into the case 251 and the foreign material of relatively small particles are supplied to the flame burner 290, and the foreign material is burned by the flame generated in the flame burner 290, and the moisture contained in the sand material is removed. It is removed and then circulated to the storage hopper 220 .
