Abstract

A red pepper boring apparatus designed to bore fine holes in red pepper with needles of a rotating roller during transfer on a conveyor is provided, which automatically makes holes in the red pepper and reduces the drying time of red pepper by about 30 to 50%. The red pepper boring apparatus comprises: a roller(22) with PE wire(21) to arrange and transfer red pepper(1) from a hopper(12) in single-fold without overlapping on a conveyor(15); a perforating roller(24) with a dense needle structure to make fine holes in red pepper with a needle(23) by the rotation; and a counter-rotating roller(25) with PE wire to cause deviation of the red pepper from the needle and falling to the conveyor.

Red pepper is used in various ways for kimchi and various cooking. Especially, it is stored and used for a long time as red pepper powder. In order to grind into powder, the moisture must be dried to 15% or less, and in farms, it is dried using the sun or a dryer.

Red pepper is thick at 2mm at the time of harvest, has a cavity inside, and has a certain volume, so that a lot of energy is put into drying for a long time and high temperature.

In general, red pepper is not related to the distortion of the cylindrical shape due to drying, but the incision is not regarded as a normal product, and is traded with the original shape preserved before crushing into powder. Therefore, it is meaningless to shorten the drying time by a method such as an incision or cutting in appearance, and there is no technology or device that can shorten the drying time other than that.

The present invention is a device for shortening the drying time by quickly discharging the internal moisture by drilling a plurality of holes in the pepper with a thin needle so that there is no visible damage or processing when dried pepper. Efficiently, a device for drilling holes in red pepper was conceived of a device for tightly mounting a plurality of needles on a rotating roller and continuously drilling a device, and a device for intermittently drilling by operating a cylinder that moves up and down.

Red peppers are harvested and dried in order to be processed into red pepper powder. Generally, they are dried by a reduced pressure hot air drying method using a dryer. The present invention intends to shorten the drying time by drilling a small hole in the pepper to quickly discharge moisture in the body in order to save time and energy required for the drying process. Referring to the configuration of the invention in detail as follows. 1 shows two system schematics. First, the needle is installed tightly around the roller in rotation, and several needles are drilled at the same time on one pepper continuously transported on the conveyor. In the neighboring rotating roller, the PE brush is rotated to rotate the needle from the needle. It is configured to be dropped and transported to a conveyor In another configuration example, a needle is densely installed in a plate that operates up and down, and intermittently punches the pepper.

Peppers fed through a washer or the like from a hopper are displayed on the conveyor lined up side by side in a brush roller. Subsequently, the rollers, which have needles installed densely on the outer circumference of the rollers, are rotated, and several needles are drilled into one pepper. When the pepper is turned into the needle for a quarter turn, the neighboring PE brush roller is rotated in reverse to release the pepper from the needle and fall on the conveyor. Then, it is transported to the hangar or tray while passing through an air wish to spray compressed air to remove washing water or foreign matter.

Such an embodiment is possible to continuous work, but it is difficult to manufacture a needle installed on the roller, the manufacturing cost is expected to be expensive, and another embodiment was envisioned. In order to puncture the pepper conveyed through the conveyor, the needle holding plate is installed up and down by using an air cylinder to puncture the needle. The needle holding plate operates up and down with an air cylinder, and the discharge plate having many holes through which the needle can penetrate is fixed to the frame. When the needle descends and punctures the pepper, the needle rises to the top while being pinned to the needle, and the pepper is released from the needle in the discharge plate fixed as the needle is raised. The device is intermittently drilled and the pepper transfer conveyor can be adjusted regardless of continuous or interrupted.

In recent years, pepper production areas, such as Gyeongbuk nutrition, have been inferior in the environment for growing pepper due to serial disturbances and late blight transmission. As high quality domestic peppers are becoming more and more competitive.

 Drying in the existing pepper dryer keeps the drying chamber in hot air and keeps the drying chamber under negative pressure to discharge the pepper moisture to dry. Generally, the drying process takes about 3 days and the spent fuel is consumed about 100 liters, which costs about 500,000 won including machinery cost.

By using this device, the drying time can be reduced by 30 ~ 50%, which can drastically reduce the dry pepper processing cost.

Claims (3)

Pepper drilling device, characterized in that having a device to shorten the drying time by drilling a plurality of small holes that can be discharged out of the pepper body when the pepper is dried.
