Description

Raw material processing equipment using assembled blades and gelatin manufacturing system with the same

The present invention relates to a raw material processing apparatus using an assembled blade and a gelatin manufacturing system having the same.

In general, gelatin is a kind of induced protein obtained by extraction from collagen, which is a natural protein constituting animal skins, tendons, and cartilage. It is a food additive produced for human consumption.

Collagen is abundantly contained in animal connective tissues such as skin, tendon, ligament, and bone. It is insoluble in water, but dissolves into gelatin when boiled.

Gelatin is colorless or pale yellow, transparent, brittle, has almost no taste and odor, absorbs 5 to 10 times water due to its high swelling power, and forms a gel in an aqueous solution at 35-40℃. It only swells in cold water, but dissolves in warm water to become sol, and at a concentration of 2 to 3% or more, it has physicochemical properties that become elastic gel at room temperature.

Such a gel state is called jelly, and it is widely used to obtain a shape or hardness by mixing it with food using its coagulability.

Therefore, in the prior art, after cutting pig skin or beef skin, an acid treatment and heating process were sequentially performed to hydrolyze and extract collagen, and the extracted collagen solution was filtered using a high-density filter to remove foreign substances contained in the extracted collagen solution. After that, the final product is packaged through concentration, sterilization and drying processes.

In this conventional gelatin manufacturing system, a conventional cutter for cutting pork skin and/or beef skin mainly uses a screw-type blade, but as the material is animal hide, it is severely worn and replaced after a certain period of use. At this time, as the conventional blade is manufactured as a single-piece screw type, there is a problem in that the cost is increased because the entire blade including the screw shaft is replaced when the blade is worn.

In addition, the conventional gelatin manufacturing system is an independent system in which each process such as cutting of raw materials, acid treatment and washing, heating and filtration, etc. is an independent system. As the process progressed through the operator's manual operation (machine operation and status check), the working time increased, and additional manpower was required.

That is, the conventional gelatin manufacturing system has a problem of low productivity.

Here, the stirring blades 522 protrude from the tip to the outside and apply a stronger pressure to the working water or washing water filled therein in the washing or stirring process to form a vortex with a high flow rate. Includes a vortex projection 523. can do.

The vortex projection 523 is formed as a convex surface 523a downward from the protruding tip to minimize friction with raw materials and working water (working solvent) when the stirring blade 522 rotates in one direction, and the convex surface ( 523a) is composed of a pressing surface 523b that forms a flat surface so as to increase the contact area with the working water.

That is, the vortex protrusion 523 forms a convex surface 523a downward along the tip from one side, and the opposite surface is formed as a flat pressing surface 523b, so as to increase the contact area with the working water during rotation. to form

For example, the vortex protrusion 523 is the working water and / or raw material in contact with the convex surface 523a extending downwardly from the tip extending downward from the tip when the stirring blade 522 rotates in one direction so that the working water and / or raw material flows. to minimize resistance. Alternatively, the vortex protrusion 523 generates a vortex having a high flow rate inside because the washing water inside the vortex protrusion 523 is pressured by the pressing surface 523b opposite to the convex surface when the stirring blade 522 is rotated in the opposite direction. .

The driving unit 530 rotates the stirring shaft 521 in the process of turning over and washing and extracting the raw material in the acid treatment process. At this time, the driving unit 530 rotates the stirring shaft 521 in either a forward direction or a reverse direction according to a control command or set programming of the control unit 80 .

For example, the driving unit 530 rotates the stirring blade 522 in the direction of the convex surface side where the tip of the vortex protrusion 523 is formed in the washing process of the raw material after flipping the raw material during the acid treatment process and the acid treatment, and after the extraction process In the washing process inside the mixing housing 510 of the , the stirring blade is rotated in the reverse direction so that the washing water (working water) inside can be circulated with a stronger force.

The heater unit 550 heats the working water and raw materials from the inside of the mixing housing 510 . Here, the heater unit 550 is operated by the control of the control unit 80 or a command input from an operation panel (not shown) installed outside the mixing housing 510 .

For example, the mixing chamber 510 performs an acid treatment process while caustic soda or sulfuric acid is added after the raw materials are added, and when the acid treatment is completed, working water is supplied to wash the acid-treated raw materials. And the mixing chamber 510 may proceed with an extraction process of extracting gelatin from the washed raw material. At this time, the heater unit 550 heats the working water and raw materials while operating.

The discharge unit may include a discharge unit 561 downward from the bottom surface of the mixing enclosure 510 , and a discharge means 560 having a discharge screw 562 and a motor rotated inside the discharge box 561 .

The discharge enclosure 561 is formed as a conduit extending downward and extending from the bottom surface of the mixing enclosure 510 . Here, the bottom surface of the mixing chamber 510 forms a ceiling surface to the discharge chamber 561, and a sieve (not shown) may be formed to separate the raw material residue from the gelatin.

The circulation plate 540 has both upper and lower surfaces open on at least one of the respective wall surfaces of the mixing housing 510, and is spaced apart from the wall surface to form a circulation flow path such that the upper water moves to the lower side or the lower water moves to the upper side. do.

For example, the working water or the working solvent has a lower temperature toward the upper side as the heater unit 550 is installed on the bottom surface of the mixing housing 510 . Therefore, as the internal temperature of the mixing housing 510 varies according to the distance difference from the heater unit 550, it is necessary to mix the working water with a low temperature with the working water with a high temperature to equalize the internal temperature.

The circulation plate 540 circulates the upper working water to the lower side to equalize the temperature difference of the working water as above, or, conversely, rapidly moves the working water having a high temperature at the lower side to the upper side. The circulation of the working water of the circulation plate 540 may be affected by the strength of the vortex by the stirring blade 522 .

That is, in the present invention, the mixing processing unit 50 provides a stirring blade 522 provided with the vortex protrusion 523 described above so as to more rapidly circulate the internal working water in addition to the circulation plate 540 . characterized.

The present invention includes the configuration as described above, and hereinafter, the processing and extraction process of the raw material made through the configuration as described above will be described.

First, the operator controls the feeder 20 to transfer the raw material to the cutter unit 30 from any one selected from the first raw material storage tank 11 and the second raw material storage tank 12 . Here, it is also possible for the operator to control the transporter 20 through the control unit 80 . Therefore, the feeder 20 moves the raw material to the hopper 310 of the cutter unit 30 .

The transfer means 330 of the cutter unit 30 moves the raw material input through the hopper 310 to the blade fixing plate 340 and the blade plate 350 by the operation of the driving motor 320 . At this time, the blade fixing plate 340 is fixed to the inner surface of the transfer housing 360 , and the blade plate 350 is rotated in conjunction with the rotation shaft 331 of the transfer means 330 .

Therefore, the blade plate 350 cuts the raw materials that are drawn out and moved through the space between the support bars 343 of the blade fixing plate 340 . At this time, the blade 353 is detachably assembled to the fixing bar 352 extending from the connecting plate 351 of the blade plate 350 .

For example, the operator checks the wear state of the blade 353 to determine whether it is replaceable, and if the replaceable condition is met, tightening the fixing means 354 communicating the blade 353 and the fixing bar 352 After releasing the worn blade 353, it can be replaced with a new blade 353. The operation can be accomplished in a short time as it is simply accomplished through the tightening and separation of the fixing means 354 .

In addition, according to the present invention, as only the blade 353 is replaced, as in the prior art, not only the blade 353 but also the connected rotation shaft 331 are not collectively replaced, so it is possible to save costs.

As such, the raw materials cut by the blade plate 350 and the blade fixing plate 340 are moved to the mixing processing unit 50 through the transfer pipes 410 and 420 of the transfer unit 40 . Here, the control unit 80 selects any one of the plurality of mixing processing units 50 , and drives the delivery unit 40 to move the raw materials to the conveying pipes 410 and 420 connected to the mixing processing unit 50 . .

At this time, the control unit 80 drives the railbot 450 to control the transport pipes 410 and 420 or the conveyor 440 to be photographed.

In addition, the control unit 80 outputs the movement status of the raw material through the image of the inside of the conveying pipes 410 and 420 or the conveyor 440 photographed through the railbot 450 through the display.

The operator may issue an alarm after confirming an abnormality such as a blockage inside the transfer pipes 410 and 420 or the stop of the conveyor 440 through the output image.

Alternatively, the control unit 80 automatically drives the railbot 450 according to a condition set by a program, and when the alarm triggering condition is met, it is also possible to issue an alarm by itself.

In addition, the control unit 80 detects the operation state of the mixing processing unit 50 and when a set amount of raw material is input, the solvent supply unit 70 and the water supply unit 60 to supply the working solvent and working water according to the set conditions. and operates the stirrer 520, the heater unit 550 and the discharge means 560 in the mixing processing unit 50, and monitors the process to issue an alarm when an abnormality is detected.

In addition, when all the processes in charge of the mixing processing unit 50 are completed, the control unit 80 may control the self-cleaning process after discharging the remaining residue. At this time, the control unit 80 controls the driving unit 530 to supply working water (washing water) to the mixing processing unit 50 , and to rotate the stirring blade 522 in the opposite direction.

Therefore, the stirring blade 522 generates a strong vortex as the stirring shaft 521 rotates in the opposite direction to increase the contact area between the pressing surface and the working water. Such a vortex prevents residues from remaining in the mixing processing unit 50, thereby increasing cleaning efficiency and shortening the cleaning time.

As described above, the present invention can monitor and control the cutting, transfer, acid treatment, washing, heating, and extraction processes in the control unit 80 collectively after the input of raw materials, so that gelatin is extracted from raw materials such as pork skin or beef cattle. This process can be automated, and monitoring by the rail bot 450 is possible, so that a faster response is possible in an abnormal situation.
