SU100624A1 - A device for electroplasmolysis of beet chips - Google Patents

Description

Devices are known for electroplasmolysis of beets, carried out in conventional cuts by exposing the beets to a constant or alternating current when cutting them into plates. The current-carrying elements in such devices are plate knives and insulated metal plates mounted under them. Beet cut off the plate, the passage in the gap between the knife and the metal plate is exposed to an electric current.

Such devices allow only plasmolyzed plates to be obtained from beets, and not ordinary chips of a rectangular or other regular section, due to the requirements of the sugar production technology. In addition, the possibility of various metallic and nonmetallic impurities entering the cutting together with beets leads to the closure of the current-carrying elements and clogging of the gap between them.

The proposed device allows to substantially eliminate the indicated drawbacks and to obtain plasmolyzed chips of rectangular section.

A feature of the proposed device is that the cutting process is divided into two stages: cutting beets in conventional cutting using plate knives into plates and then cutting the beet plates into separate rectangular sections using a set of adjacent current-carrying knives alternately connected to different source poles direct current or phases of an alternating current source. The last device is itself an electroplasticizer, in which electrolysis is carried out simultaneously with the cutting of the beet plates into separate chips.

FIG. 1 is a side view of an electroplasmatizer for sugar beet chips; FIG. 2 is a top view and in FIG. 3 - a set of circular knives in two projections.

An electroplasma isolator consists of accumulated on the drive shaft / disk knives 2 for cutting the wafers of the beets into chips, a guide roller 3 and a feeding conveyor 4 with equalizer 5.

The adjacent shaft / knives 2 are insulated from one another by means of 6 dielectric discs 6, the thickness of which is selected depending on the predetermined width of the beet chips. To disk knives 2 when

tires 7 and 8, recessed into the slots of shaft 1, are supplied with current.

The knives 2. have shaped holes and are mounted on the shaft 1 in such a way that they alternately contact one with the tire 7, then the tire 5. Through these tires to adjacent knives. A current of different polarity is applied. Tires 7 and 8, the current can be supplied with help, and the usual slip rings mounted on the shaft 1.

The shaft / is mounted at the end of the horizontal conveyor 4, the pre-cut beetroot plates are rotated onto rotary cutter, and the knives 2 interacting with the roller 3. This roller is made of dielectric and receives rotation in the opposite direction to the rotation of the knives.

The 2 beet plates, which enter between the roller 3 and the disk knives, are cut into individual chips. Each chip in the cutting process is subjected to electroplasmolysis by an electric current passing through it.
