SE460454B - Continuous washing and cleaning device for butchery hooks - Google Patents

Abstract

The cleaning takes place by means of a transport track (6) which lowers the hooks into a cleaning vessel (10) filled with hot lye which loosens any deposits attached to the hooks. After this treatment, the hooks are rinsed with water under high pressure, then to be moved on a driven chain transporter to an allocation line where their locating positions are manually greased.

Description

460 454% -: 10 20 10 b .. _. senses the liquid level and regulates the inflow and outflow of the cleaning liquid. in manual cleaning, an aggressive and small aggressive detergent was used for the operator, which means that the cleaning steps are time-consuming and require careful processing. of the units so that all contaminants are removed. When the hook units, with the present device, clean-! made mechanically, a cleaning liquid, consisting of a lye heated to about 60OC can be used and which quickly and efficiently dissolves the coatings deposited on the hook units. By controlling, for example, the pH value of the lye and other control parameters, continuous leaching and replacement of the lye can take place.

In order for no lye residues to remain on the hook units, these are conveyed with the chain conveyor driven in the device through a purge cleaning device. The rinsing is done with the water, which under high pressure through a number of nozzles distributes the water so that the hook unit is sprayed from all the hobs. After rinsing, lubricate the roller bearing of the hook unit with grease in a lubrication station located for the purpose.

The invention and its features, which have been partially described in the foregoing, will be further described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings, showing an exemplary embodiment. It is understood that the invention is not limited to this embodiment, but that all kinds of modifications may occur within the scope of the invention.

The transport path of the cutting line is usually not driven but the hook units (2) with attached animal bodies are moved manually and in step with The carcasses are fed to the cutting line from a roller conveyor (3) and hooked onto the hook units (2), after which the carcasses are pushed on the conveyor track to a cutting robot (4) where they are cut into larger pieces, and further on a conveyor belt (5). After bones and other slaughterhouse waste have been removed from the hooks, these are manually pushed to the double washer conveyor (6), where the upper chain conveyor (7), driven by the unit (19), moves the hook units (2) on to the hook. During a continuous movement, the hook units are moved back and forth in a cleaning vessel (10) filled with lye (11), heated to c. a 60OC where the coating of the hooks dissolves. The conveyor (6) is raised at the end of the cleaning vessel and a drain is made. The conveyor then carries the hook units to a purge device (12) where they are pressurized under high pressure with water from a number of nozzles (13), placed in the walls of the purge device. After rinsing, the hooks leave the double conveyor (6) and continue on the conveyor path of the cutting line (1), where a lubrication station (14) is located and a manual greasing of the hook units' storage locations takes place.

In order for an alternative cleaning to be carried out by the entire hook unit resp. only the hook, the cleaning vessel (10) is connected to a pump unit (15) and an accumulating container (16) with liquid lines (17) and (18). The control is done by adapting the liquid levels E and II to the desired cleaning area.

4 6 Û Zlvâåßlšfíklzáv 1. Hook washing refers to a device, preferably used in the slaughterhouse industry, for cleaning such hook units with which carcasses or larger pieces of meat are transported after slaughter and the subsequent cutting process and which on reuse must be cleaned and free of substances that can infect the meat products, characterized by a double conveyor (6) connected to the conveyor and cutting line (1) with a lower conveyor track (8) for hook units (2) and an upper driven chain conveyor (7) with pushers (9), to the recessed section of the conveyor (6) connected cleaning vessels (10) with liquid lines (17) and (18), the pump unit (15) and an accumulating container (16), and a, through which the conveyor (6) passes, flushing device (12) and a final lubrication station (1¶). Device according to claim 1, characterized by a cleaning vessel (10) in which the liquid levels I and II of the filled liquor (11) can be regulated according to the desired cleaning area, regulated with the pump unit (15) and container (16) connected to the cleaning vessel. ). Device according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the luten (11: quality and degree of contamination is regulated by sensing, for example, its Ph value or parameters relevant to the area of use and can thereby be automatically renewed to maintain maximum cleanliness). - ring effect. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the cleaned hooks (2) are wiped by the conveyor (6) through a flushing device (12) from which the nozzles (13), water under pressure, flush the hook units.
