More specifically, the coating solution (G) is prepared by mixing 8g to 10g of powder gelatin and salt water of about 400cc having a salt concentration of 9% or more and 10% or less. That is, the coating solution G is prepared by increasing or decreasing the mixing ratio of the powder gelatin and the brine in accordance with the increase or decrease in the production capacity of the coating solution G. For example, when 90 g of powdered gelatin is blended, 4000 cc of salt water having a salt concentration of 9% or 10% is poured and mixed.

Meanwhile, the salt concentration of the brine is 9% or more and 10% or less, even though the salt concentration of the brine increases, the effect of sterilizing bacteria and viruses does not increase, and the salt concentration of the brine decreases the bactericidal and virus sterilization effects. This is because it is not preferable.

These brine has a water-based component that hardens gelatin made of protein, and not only sterilizes bacteria with brine itself, but also hardens with gelatin to prevent bacteria from working.

On the other hand, food coloring harmless to the human body may be further added to the coating solution G mixed with the brine and gelatin powder. That is, the food coloring not only improves the beauty of the egg 10 by making the color of the coating liquid G have various colors, but also easily identifies the egg on which the coating layer is formed and the egg on which the coating layer is not formed. It plays a role. The food coloring may be optionally blended and mixed according to the color desired by the operator.

The coating solution G is stored in the coating unit 160, that is, the storage tank 160. Accordingly, the sterilized coating layer 101 is formed on the surface of the egg 10 when the washed or sterilized egg 10 is immersed in the coating solution G, and then dried and then dried (see FIG. 4). At this time, it is preferable to dry the coating solution (G) upon drying, but may be dried using a fan or the like.

In addition, the powder gelatin melts at 25 ° C. at room temperature when mixed with brine or water, and has a hardening property at about 10 ° C. Therefore, the storage tank 160 is provided with a heating wire, a heater, etc., so that the temperature of the coating liquid G should be maintained at 25 ° C. On the other hand, in using the properties of the melting temperature of the coating liquid (G), when forming a sterile coating layer 101 on the surface of the egg 10, if the coating at a high temperature the quality of the egg is reduced because the quality of the egg In order to coat without deterioration, the coating liquid (G) using gelatin is used.

When the coating solution G is hardened and the sterilizing coating layer 101 is formed on the surface of the egg 10, the sterilizing coating layer 101 is not melted at a temperature of 25 ° C. but melts only when it is in contact with water at 25 ° C. or more. . Therefore, the sterile coating layer 101 formed on the surface of the egg 10 is not melted even if the outdoor temperature is 25 ℃ or more.

On the other hand, the operator can directly immerse one or a plurality of eggs 10 in the coating solution (G) by hand, but as shown, the plurality of eggs 10 contained in the storage tank 160 at once It is further provided with an egg receiving plate 165 to be rolled out.

As shown in Figure 3, the egg receiving plate 165 is provided on the upper side of the storage tank 160, the hole 166 is formed at a predetermined interval so that the egg 10 is seated. Therefore, when the egg 10 is seated in each of the plurality of holes 166, the egg receiving plate 165 is lowered, soaked in the coating liquid G stored in the storage tank, and dried out. At this time, the egg receiving plate 165 is preferably installed in the storage tank 160 so that it can be raised and lowered. That is, it can be installed by adopting a well-known lifting / lowering method such as a cylinder method by hydraulic pressure or pneumatic, or a lifting / lowering method using a lifting / lowering method by the rotational force of the motor by chain coupling.

As a result, the present invention is hygienic because the egg 10 using the egg coating apparatus 100 having the structure as described above is hygienic, sanitary coating layer 101 on the surface of the washed, sterilized egg 10 By forming the contaminants remaining on the surface of the egg 10 may not be in contact with the buyer, the worker's hands to obtain the reliability to the buyer, as well as to prevent the spread of the disease and the disease.

In addition, avian influenza virus infected on the surface of the egg 10 can not penetrate into the inside of the egg 10, can not escape to the outside by the sterile coating layer 101 can be stably prevent the disease.

In addition, as the coating layer 101 coated on the surface of the egg 10 is made to have various colors by food coloring, the beauty of the egg 10 is improved, as well as the egg on which the coating layer 101 is formed and the uncoated egg. The identification of can be facilitated.
