{APPARATUS OF SCALDING}

The present invention relates to a poultry emitter that treats poultry so that feathers can easily fall off when processing poultry. More specifically, the present invention relates to a poultry poultry which can efficiently carry out hot air by spraying high temperature air and water on the surface of poultry being transported .

The process of producing chickens by processing raw chicken and removing feathers and organs is called slaughtering. The chickens that have been produced through the process of chickens are again processed as part of the raw meat, or are further processed and processed.

The general procedure is as follows: a hanging stage in which raw chicken is put on a trolley conveyor and into a processing line, a stunning stage in which a current is supplied to a live chicken introduced into a processing line, and bleeding, A scalding step to relax the feathers, a depilation step to remove the feathers, and an evisceration step to remove the viscera.

During the above-mentioned process, the tiger step is a step of relaxing the feathers by immersing the chicken in the tangerine so that the feathers can easily fall off during the depilation phase. In this way, it is said that the method of dipping the chicken into water and loosening the feathers is called "immersion". According to the temperature of immersion water, the temperature is low (53 ~ 55 ℃), low temperature (59 ~ 61 ℃) (65 to 67 ° C).

However, since the chicken should be completely immersed in the hot water in the tangy process, the large amount of water is used and the amount of wastewater is generated, so that the water supply and wastewater treatment costs are excessive. Particularly, since energy is consumed in water supply and wastewater treatment, energy efficiency is low. In addition, there is a possibility of cross contamination due to tang rivers, which is a fundamental problem with immersion tanks. In addition, if the transfer line is stopped due to a mechanical problem or an emergency in the tangling process, it can cause a serious problem such as ripe meat due to sweating.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems of the prior art, and to provide a duck tank capable of effectively discharging high temperature air and water on the surface of poultry being transported.

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a dewatering device comprising: a main body having an inlet and an outlet for supplying and discharging poultry conductors at one end; and a dewatering device for removing poultry conductors fed from the main body, A transfer means for circulating the poultry conductor from which the foreign substance has been removed by the brush means in the main body; and an air injection means for injecting air into the poultry conductor circulated by the transfer means, And a hot water jetting means for jetting hot water to the tail between the feathers opened by the air jetting means to loosen the feathers.

Wherein the air blowing means includes a suction line for sucking air in the main body, a ring blower for compressing and discharging the air sucked through the suction line, and a blower for blowing the compressed air discharged from the ring blower to the inside of the main body And a first injection nozzle installed along the discharge line for spraying the compressed air to the poultry conductor.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, each component 110 to 150 of the drip tray 100 will be described in detail.

The main body 110 has a box shape which is elongated in one direction and sealed at both ends. An entrance 112 is formed at one end of the main body 110 and a partition wall 114 is provided in the main body 110 in the longitudinal direction of the main body 110. The entrance 112 is an opening for feeding the poultry conductor 210 (FIG. 5) for carrying out the tambling process or for discharging the poultry conductor 220 (FIG. 5) after the tambling process has been completed. The partition 114 is for partitioning the interior of the main body 110 into a supply line 116 and a discharge line 118 and includes poultry conductors 210 and 220 which are transported along the supply line 116 and the discharge line 118 So as to prevent cross contamination caused by the air sprayed in the supply line 116 and the discharge line 118, respectively.

An air curtain 160 is installed at an entrance 112 of the main body 110 and a discharging means 170 is installed at a lower portion of the main body 110.

The air curtain 160 is installed above the entrance 112. The air blown downward from the air curtain 160 forms an air film on the entrance 112 to block the inside and the outside of the main body 110. Therefore, the internal energy of the main body 110 can be prevented from being discharged to the outside, and the contamination of the poultry conductor 200 can be prevented by preventing the bacteria or the like from entering and exiting through the entrance 112.

When the discharge line 146 of the air injection means 140 is connected to the air curtain 160 described above, a part of the air (compressed air) discharged from the ring blower 144 is used to form an air film on the entrance 112 can do. Therefore, even if a device for supplying compressed air to the air curtain 160 is not separately provided, it is possible to form an air film, thereby reducing the volume of the tapper and reducing energy consumption.

The discharging means 170 discharges the foreign matter (foreign matter removed from the poultry conductor 200) generated from the tumbling process (the feathers of the poultry conductor 200 and the foreign substance removed from the poultry conductor 200) to prevent contamination of the poultry conductor 200 by foreign substances. A driving device 176 for rotating the screw conveyor 174 and a screw conveyor 174 provided inside the discharge pipe 172. The screw conveyor 174 rotates the screw conveyor 174, And a drain (178) for discharging moisture to the outside at the bottom of the body (110).

When power is applied to the discharging means 170, the driving device 176 operates to rotate the screw conveyor 174, and the screw conveyor 174 compresses and transports the foreign substances accumulated on the bottom of the main body 110. The moisture generated in this process is discharged to the outside through the drain 178 together with the moisture that is accumulated on the bottom of the main body 110. In addition, the compressed foreign matter is transported along the discharge pipe 172 and then discharged to the outside through the discharge port 179 formed at the tip of the discharge pipe 172. At this time, the foreign matter discharged through the discharge port 179 is in the form of chips in which moisture is removed.

The brush means 120 includes a pair of brackets 122 provided inside the entrance 112 of the main body 110, a shaft 124 fixed to the pair of brackets 122, And a plurality of brushes 126 provided radially. The bristle means 120 having such a configuration removes impurities adhering to the poultry conductor 200 through contact with the poultry conductor 200 transported by the transporting means 130 and at the same time spreads the feathers of the poultry conductor 200 . On the other hand, when the brush 126 is rotated by adding a driving device (not shown), foreign substances can be more effectively removed or feathers can be opened, thereby increasing the tangling efficiency.

The conveying means 130 includes a guide rail 132 extending along the supply line 116 and the discharge line 118 of the main body 110, a trolley conveyor 134 moving along the guide rail 132, And a hook 136 provided at a lower portion of the trolley conveyor 134. The guide rail 132 also includes a supply rail 132a extending along the supply line 116, a discharge rail 132b extending along the discharge line 118, And a U-shaped (planar U-shaped) connecting rail 132c connecting the other ends of the rails 132b.

Meanwhile, the water purifier 100 of the present embodiment may further include a sensor (not shown) for detecting whether the transfer means 130 is operated. When the sensor (not shown) is added, the operation of the transfer means 130 is detected, and when the transfer means 130 stops, the operation of the transfer device 130 is immediately stopped. Therefore, even if the feeding means 130 is stopped due to a mechanical problem or an emergency, the operation of the hot water jetting means 150 is automatically stopped by a sensor (not shown), so that problems such as ripening of lean meat can do.

The poultry conductor 200 is supplied through the entrance 112 in a state where it is hooked on the hook 136 of the trolley conveyor 134. The trolley conveyor 134 passes along the feed rail 132a through the feed line 116 and along the connecting rail 132c to the discharge line 118 and along the discharge rail 132b to the discharge line 118, And then discharged through the entrance 112. [ In the circulation process of the trolley conveyor 134, air and hot water are sprayed to the poultry conductor 200 to perform hot water.

The air injection means 140 for injecting air into the poultry conductor 200 includes a suction line 142 for sucking air, a ring blower 144 for compressing and discharging the sucked air through the suction line 142, A discharge line 146 for transferring the discharged compressed air to the inside of the main body 110 and a first injection nozzle 148 provided along the discharge line 146. The compressed air injected from the first injection nozzle 148 spreads feathers tightly adhered to the poultry conductor 200 so that the water of the bath can be effectively introduced into the feathers.

When the suction line 142 of the air injection means 140 is connected to the inside of the main body 110, the internal air of the main body 110 is injected through the first injection nozzle 148. In this case, the internal temperature of the main body 110 can be kept constant, and a device for supplying compressed air is not required, so that the volume of the boiler can be reduced and the energy consumption can be reduced. Particularly, since a part of the compressed air discharged from the ring blower 144 is supplied to the air curtain 160, the energy efficiency can be further improved.

The hot water jetting means 150 for spraying the hot water to the poultry conductor 200 is provided with a water supply line 152 to which hot water is supplied and hot water supplied through the water supply line 152 to the inside of the main body 110 And a second injection nozzle 156 installed along the drainage line 154 for spraying the hot water to the poultry conductor 200. The drainage line 154,

The hot water sprayed from the second spray nozzle 156 flows into the feathers of the poultry conductor 200 opened by the compressed air to loosen the feathers to facilitate hair loss. At this time, the temperature of the hot water sprayed from the second spray nozzle 156 is preferably 50 to 80 DEG C, which is a temperature range in which the feathers can relax. In addition, the hot water injected from the second injection nozzle 156 can be injected into the feathers of the poultry conductor 200 and in the form of fog so that it can flow into the chest as well as the back of the poultry conductor 200 It is preferable to be sprayed.

7, the air injecting means 140 and the hot water spraying means 150 are located on the back side of the poultry conductor 200 and are connected to the back side of the poultry conductor 200, . The reason why the compressed air and the hot water are injected toward the back of the poultry conductor 200 is that the problem that occurs when the chest of the poultry conductor 200 with a relatively small feather is sprayed under the same conditions as the backside The problem of ripe meat). In other words, it is possible to solve the problem of chest ripening by injecting a larger amount of compressed air and hot water on the back of a feathered lot.

5 to 7 are views showing a tangling process using a dumbbell apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5 to 7, the poultry conductor 200 is hooked on the hook 136 of the trolley conveyor 134 so that the poultry conductors 200 are connected to the main body 100 through the entrance 112, (110). At this time, the air curtain 160 installed at the entrance 112 cuts the inside and the outside of the main body 110 by forming an air film on the entrance 112, thereby reducing the energy loss during the entrance and exit of the poultry conductor 200, Thereby preventing contamination by the water.

The poultry conductor 200 supplied into the main body 110 is removed from the foreign matter during the contact with the brush means 120 installed inside the doorway 112 side. The poultry conductor 200 from which the debris is removed is conveyed by the feeding roller 132a of the feeding means 130, the connecting rail 132c and the feeding roller 116b by the trolley conveyor 134 moving along the discharging rail 132b. And the discharge line 118, as shown in FIG.

During the circulation process by the transfer means 130, the air injection means 140 and the hot water jetting means 150 are operated to perform the tangling process. That is, compressed air is sprayed from the air injecting means 140 located on the backside of the poultry conductor 200 to spread the feathers of the poultry conductor 200, and at the same time, the tangential water jetting means 150 And injects the hot water into the poultry conductor 200 through the feathers of the poultry conductor 200.

On the other hand, the foreign matter (the feathers of the poultry conductor 200 and the foreign substance removed from the poultry conductor 200) generated in the tundding process is discharged to the outside by the discharging means 170. The foreign matter accumulated on the bottom of the main body 110 is compressed and transferred by the screw conveyor 174 and the moisture generated in the process of compressing the foreign body flows to the outside of the main body 110 through the drain 178, . The compressed foreign matter is conveyed along the discharge pipe 172 and then discharged to the outside through the discharge port 179 formed at the tip of the discharge pipe 172.
