Description

A Ginseng steamer}

The present invention relates to a steam boiler for steaming steamed ginseng and other agricultural products, and particularly relates to a steam boiler which combines various functions and technologies to provide the best conditions for boiling ginseng, which is the best product of red ginseng Steam is supplied to the inside of the steam boiler through the steam filter and the steam is steamed under a certain pressure. If the pressure exceeds the set pressure, the excess steam is automatically discharged. After the steam boiler is steamed, The inside of the chamber can be evacuated to a certain pressure while introducing outside air. The hinge part of the steam cooker door is raised and lowered by the air cylinder, so that the step between the floor of the work area and the inner bottom of the steam cooker is removed, To facilitate entry and entry.

Ginseng is usually called ginseng because it is not dried after ginseng has been mined for 4 ~ 6 years. Ginseng usually contains about 75% moisture, so it is difficult to store more than a week in the mined state, and it is likely to be corrupted or damaged especially during the distribution process. Therefore, white ginseng is called dried white ginseng as it is dried for long-term storage, and red ginseng is selected from 6-year old ginseng roots and steamed with steam without peeling, .

Ginseng is not simply made for long-term storage of ginseng, and many new physiologically active ingredients are produced that are beneficial to our body during the manufacturing process. In other words, in the red ginseng manufacturing process, the chemical component changes due to the partial molecular structure change due to pyrolysis of ginsenoside, resulting in a beneficial special ingredient. In the red ginseng, only special ingredients of red ginseng Maltol and Ginsenoside Re3. Maltol has anti-aging properties. Ginsenoside Re3 inhibits cancer cell proliferation and anti-tumor activity. Has been proven to have the function of.

On the other hand, red ginseng is divided into ginseng (ginseng), ginseng (地參) and ginseng (ginseng) which are usually red ginseng according to its quality. This distinction is based on the fact that when the ginseng is steamed, The quality and price of red ginseng are influenced by the ginseng technology.

Therefore, it is also important to follow the traditional methods that have been traditionally introduced from the past, but it is more urgent that the wisdom of ongyo-shin can produce more high-quality red ginseng by improving various methods and devices.

The conventional steam-growing method includes a step of steam-boiling the steam at a temperature of about 95 ° C for about 30 to 180 minutes, a step of post-steam-steaming, and a steam-steam cycle of about 1 to 3 hours And in the course of this steaming, there is an imbalance in the pressure and temperature in the steam, so that cracks of the ginseng, fungi, and defects in the inner and outer openings may occur. It does not take into account the state of the product, which is weakened by the high temperature of 95 during the cooling process after the steamed ginseng has been cooled down. The steam is released by opening the door, spraying cold water or by forcibly pushing the cold air, It changes. In addition, in the conventional patented technology, the steam generated in the steam generator is used without filtration to be exposed to contamination, and the step between the bottom of the boiler room and the inside of the boiler can not be eliminated, and when the boiler is pushed into the boiler, In order to maintain the temperature of the steam generator, it was necessary to have more than two people to pass the steam generator, and there was a large amount of steam discharged due to the non-pressure- Due to excessive facilities for elevating the temperature or for precise temperature control, the rise of the facility cost and the difficulty of the unskilled work have occurred.

The process of steaming ginseng using the thus-constructed steaming machine will be described.

1) Wash raw raw soil with soil harvested from the field and place it on the tray with the quantities in the tray. After opening the elevator door by upward lift, lower the connecting rail and push the railcar loaded with the ginseng through the rail. Close the door by closing it, fill the lock ring, and turn on the steaming start switch on the control panel.

2) When the steam start switch is turned on, the 1st step of the temperature rise process is carried out. The steam generated from the steam generator passes through the steam filter and is fed into the chamber cleanly to the water level. . At this time, when the set pressure is reached, the pressure control valve opens and steam is discharged to the outside. The appropriate setting for Level 1 is 75 minutes in 24 minutes, which can be changed by the user who knows the product.

3) In step 1, the time and temperature reaches the set value and immediately the two-step temperature rise process proceeds. When the set temperature and time are reached while steam is supplied, it goes to step 3. In this process, the steam generated from the steam generator passes through the steam filter, and is supplied to the inside of the chamber cleanly at the level of the water to be fed, and the current state can be confirmed by the pressure gauge and the thermometer. The appropriate setting for stage 2 is 95 ° C in 14 minutes, which can be changed by the user who knows the product.

4) In step 3, the temperature is maintained, and the steam is supplied intermittently to maintain the set temperature for the set time, and the pressure also reaches the set pressure and then goes down repeatedly. Step 3 After setting time, go to step 4. The appropriate setting value for the three steps varies from product to product, which is about 100 minutes to 15 minutes, and the temperature is 95 ° C, which can be changed by the user who knows the product.

5) At the post-mat phase, the steam supply valve is closed and the steam supply is stopped by the signal from the steam boiler operation panel. During the set time, the internal pressure and temperature slowly drop to complete the final steaming. The appropriate length of stay is about 20 to 30 minutes, which can be arbitrarily set by the user's jurisdiction.

6) After completion of the maturing, cooling starts immediately. The exhaust valve is opened by the operation panel signal, the exhaust pump is operated, and the steam inside the chamber is discharged to the outside. At this time, the outside air is drawn through the air filter, and the room is slowly cooled, and the vacuum pressure is finely formed. The incoming air is sprayed down to the bottom floor on the back wall to avoid affecting the product. Cooling goes down to about 60 ° C for about 10 to 20 minutes. This can be arbitrarily changed by a user who knows the product.

7) When the cooling is completed, the bell rings on the control panel, so open the lock ring of the steam cooker and open the door to remove the bogie. This completes the cooking process, and all of these processes can be performed by non-skilled workers.
