Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pelleting device,

A pellet-type pelleting device is provided.

Brine shrimp is an arthropod of crustaceans, widely used as a feed for fish fry by zooplankton. Since the brine shrimp must be fed to the fry in a live state, it is generally divided into small containers and kept frozen. However, it is very difficult to uniformly freeze a small amount suitable for one-time feeding. In the case of not being frozen packed in small amounts suitable for one-time feeding, an excessive amount of brine shrimp is injected into a fish tank with a fish, so that the extra brine shrimp which is not consumed by the fish is easily decayed in the fish tank have. Furthermore, the extra brine shrimp that is not consumed can not only destroy the water circulation system in the tank, but also can penetrate into various filters and decay.

In general, a tablet packing machine (PTP apparatus) is a device for performing a series of processes of forming a depression in a film made of a plastic material in a solid state and then bonding an aluminum foil to an open part of the depression. However, the conventional tablet packing machine has a problem that it can not be stably packed because it contains a structure which is not suitable for packing a solution containing living organisms into the space inside the depression.

3, the fry can be injected into the space between the upper plate member 221 and the lower plate member 222 at a uniform pressure, and then discharged through the contents discharging member 223 to the outside. Specifically, the contents delivering member 223 may have a shape in which the moving passage and / or the cross section width is narrowed along the discharging direction. As a result, it is possible to dispense on a precise position, and it is possible to control the amount of frying discharge by a minute amount.

2, the contents injection unit 200 of the pellet-type oral cavity packaging apparatus 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a regulator unit 280 for regulating the pressure of compressed air, a regulator unit 280 for regulating the pressure of the compressed air, A direction controller 260 for converting the adjusted compressed air into a linear power and a cylinder 250 for performing a reciprocating motion through the linear power controlled by the direction controller 260. [

Specifically, the regulator unit 280 functions to control the input, the discharge cycle, the pressure, and the like of the compressed air. The direction controller 260 receives the compressed air whose input, discharge cycle, pressure and the like are controlled by the regulator unit 280 and converts the compressed air into a linear power. In addition, the cylinder unit 250 performs a reciprocating motion by the linear power converted and transmitted by the direction control unit 260. Accordingly, uniform and constant periodic pressure can be applied to the fry food flow that has moved from the fry food storage container unit 240.

Hereinafter, a pellet-type food packaging method 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a step S1 of forming a concave groove by thermocompression bonding on a packaging material film, a step S2 of injecting a food into the concave groove formed, sealing the groove portion into which the food is injected, (S3), and cutting (S4) cutting the film sealed with the covering material to a unit size easy to package.

Hereinafter, the above-described contents and repeated contents are omitted.

1 is a general schematic view of a pellet-type perianth packing device 1000 and a packaging method 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a step S1 of forming a concave groove by thermocompression bonding on a packaging material film may be performed in the molding unit 100. Specifically, it is a step of forming one or more repetitive concave grooves through which the food can be positioned by thermocompression bonding to the packaging film.

Next, the step S2 of injecting the food into the concave groove formed is a step of placing the food in a predetermined amount in the at least one concave groove formed in the step S1 of forming a concave groove by thermocompression bonding on the packaging film .

Specifically, in step S2, the food is poured into the second storage container of the food storage container unit 240, and the compressed air generated by the regulator unit 280 is compressed And may be transmitted to the direction control unit 260 through the air transfer unit 270. Next, the force of the compressed air is converted into a linear power by the direction control unit 260, and the food is fed to the contents conveying unit 230 by the cylinder unit 250 performing the reciprocating motion with a constant period and constant pressure . Then, the contents are discharged in the direction of the conveying guide part 210 in a predetermined period and uniform amount through the discharging part 220 of the contents to be fed, which is conveyed to the contents conveying part 230, As shown in Fig.

More specifically, the step S2 of injecting the food into the concave groove is performed by using the fry food storage container unit 240 while maintaining the freshness of the food, Pressure can be applied to inject the food. At this time, the freshness of the food can be maintained by the coolant which can be positioned between the first storage container and the second storage container of the fry food storage container portion 240. In addition, the pressure application method for feeding the fish can be applied to the piston (cylinder) method instead of the direct application of the pressure using the general fixed amount discharge pressure tank. Thus, it is possible to solve the problem that live chewing food is damaged when the pressure is directly applied by using a general constant-volume dispensing pressure tank. Further, in order to prevent the damage of the dental food due to the excessive pressure application remaining in the distal end of the cylinder 250, the compressed air flow controlled by the regulator unit 280 is directed to the frying flow direction of the continuous process and the reverse direction Can be repeatedly applied. This minimizes the amount of fry remaining in the distal end of the cylinder 250 during the pellet-type pelleting process, thereby maximizing the survival rate of the finally packed pellet.

Next, the step (S3) of sealing the groove portion into which the pellet is injected is covered with a lid material, in order to prevent leakage of the pellet injected in the step (S2) of injecting the pellucid into the concave groove, And then thermocompression-sealed. Specifically, in order to prevent damage to live chewing food due to heat generated in the thermocompression bonding process, the heating time for thermocompression in the step S3 of sealing the groove portion into which the chewing food is injected is sealed may be about 1 second or less have. Furthermore, since the fried food located in the concave grooves may be in a solution state of high concentration and high viscosity, the damage of the live fish food due to the direct contact with the heat source in the thermocompression process may be minimized.

Next, the step (S4) of cutting the film sealed with the covering material into a unit size easy to package is a step of cutting the packaging material film in units of a predetermined size so that the unit packaging is possible.

The pellet-shaped food packaging method 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that after the step (S4) of cutting the film sealed with the covering material into a unit size easy to package, the pellet- (S5). ≪ / RTI > Specifically, the step S5 of continuing the pierced freshness after the rapid cooling and packaging is completed, in order to keep the freshness of the pierced food completely packed and to store it, the film sealed with the cover material is cut in a unit size And then rapidly cooling the packaged frozen food immediately after step S4.

At this time, the rapid cooling temperature may be about minus 70 degrees Celsius to about minus 90 degrees Celsius. More specifically, it may be about minus 80 degrees Celsius to about minus 90 degrees Celsius. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
