(54) APPROACH FOR CLEANING AND WASHING

one

The invention relates to equipment for the canning and food industry, namely, devices for washing and cleaning the root club.

There is a known device for cleaning and washing of root crops, containing a bath mounted on the frame, successively positioned therein and abrasive rollers with a helical surface, loading and unloading trays, a water supply collector and a drive 11 rotated in one direction.

The disadvantages of this device are the lack of regulation of the depth and quality of cleaning, the impossibility of separating solid waste and their removal from the device.

The purpose of the invention. - Improving the quality of washing and cleaning of root and club crops.

To this end, in a device containing a bath installed on the frame, successively positioned in it and rotating in one direction the abrasive rollers with a screw surface, loading and unloading trays, a collector for CORNER FABRICS

water supply and drive, abrasive rollers are installed parallel to the loading and unloading holes, and the screw surface of each of the two rows of rollers has an opposite winding, with brush drums mounted rotatably in the opposite direction of the rollers above the abrasive rollers . In addition, the bath Za10 is hinged on the frame and installed with the possibility of changing its angle; it is flat to the horizontal plane and provided with a false bottom, under which the screw with variable pitch is located, and the threads of the brush drums have thickenings in the form of plates or knots, helical coil rollers have a grooved surface or helical coil rollers and brush drum threads have a smooth

20 surface.

Claims (5)

FIG. 1 shows a device dp cleaning and washing of tubers, a longitudinal section; in fig. 2 - the location of the 3 abrasive rollers and the kinematics of their drive; in fig. 3 - options for the neck; rollers; in fig. 4 shows section A-A in FIG. one; in fig. 5 - brush drum, slit; in fig. 6 - variants of the Barbov threads. The device comprises a bath 1, in the upper part of which, parallel to its loading and unloading ends, abrasive rollers 2 are installed in the same plane with rotation 8 in one direction, located on straight supports 3 and provided with gear drive 4. Abrasive rollers 2 are made with a screw surface which, for each of the two rows of located ballons, has opposite winding. Instead of abrasive, rollers with a grooved screw surface can be installed. Above the abrasive rollers in the same plane are located the brush drums 5, mounted on movable, straight supports 6 with the possibility of rotation in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the rollers, and provided with a gear drive 7, and the threads of the drums are thickened in the form of plates or nodes. Bath, 1 is made with a false bottom, under which is located equipped with a drive screw 3 with a screw surface of variable pitch. The lower part of the body of the screw 8 is perforated. The bath 1 with the loading part is hinged to the frame 9, provided with a lifting mechanism 10 and mounted with the possibility of inclination Ът О to 30 ° to the horizontal plane. A collector 11 is installed above the brush drums 5. The device also contains a loading tray, 12 and a discharge tray 13. Rollers with a smooth screw surface can be installed instead of abrasive or grooved rollers 2 with a screw surface, and the threads of the brush drums can be made even without plasters. or nodes. In this embodiment, the devices can be used for washing vegetables and fruits. ,,; The device works as follows. The potato tubers through the loading chute 12 fall on the rotating rollers 2 and, the passage between the rotating rollers 2 and the brush drums S, are processed in one layer. Due to the fact that each of the two rows of rollers arranged is provided with opposite winding, they rotate in the direction of the product load, transmit to each tuber two degrees of freedom: rotation around an axis parallel to the axis of the rollers, and others around the axis, perpendicular p ro the axis of the rollers. In this case, each subsequent pair of rollers changes the rotation of the tubers around their perpendicular axis, causing the tubers to be forced () to be oriented about the abrasive surface of the rollers 2 and the brush drums 5, due to which a more uniform cleaning of the surface of the tubers from the peel and dirt takes place . The brush drums 5, rotating in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the rollers 2, remove the contaminants from the recessed areas and cracks with their threads and help advance the tubers, and the teeth or knots on the threads increase the degree of cleaning. The height adjustment between the rollers 2 and the brush drums 5 is carried out with the help of direct movable supports 6. The angle of inclination of the bath 1 is adjusted to increase or decrease the length of the bath. Cleaning and washing of potatoes is carried out by a lifting mechanism 10. The cleaning mass is washed off the brush drums 5, rollers 2 and potato tubers with water from the collector nozzles P and enters the screw 8 where the solid waste is separated from the liquid. CK | search and washed potatoes are unloaded through tray 13. The proposed device allows washing and peeling of potatoes in one machine. It can be used for the cleaning operation after a steam treatment, as well as for washing and cleaning potatoes that are not steamed. In addition, when replacing abrasive or grooved rollers with smooth and prongs with teeth or nodules on even yarns without prongs or knots, the device can be used for washing vegetables and fruits. Due to the processing of potato tubers in one layer, as well as their forced orientation relative to the surface of the rollers and brush drums, the proposed device improves the quality of cleaning and washing. The use of brush drums, the threads of which have thickenings in the form of plates or knots, provides for the removal of the peel and soils from the indented sections of tubers and cracks, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the cost of manual labor). Adjusting the angle of the bath relative to the horizontal surface, and Hakzs 5, the adjustment between the rollers and the ii drums, makes it possible to smoothly adjust the degree of cleaning and mine, potato tubers. The proposed device in contrast to the known provides for the separation and disposal of solid waste. Claim 1. Device for cleaning and washing of tubers, containing a bath mounted on the frame, successively arranged in it and driven in one direction abrasive rollers with a screw surface, loading and unloading trays, collector for feeding and driving, from revealing In order to improve the quality of washing and cleaning of tubers, abrasive rollers are installed parallel to the loading and unloading holes, and the screw surface of each of the two rows of rollers has opposite winding, while there are brush drums above the abrasive rollers mounted rotatably in a direction opposite to the direction of the rollers. 2. The device according to claim 1, characterized in that the bath is attached to the frame pivotally and installed with the possibility of replacing its angle of inclination of the horizontal plane, and the threads of the brush drums have thickening in the form of plates or knots. 3. The device according to claim 1, in connection with the fact that the bath is provided with a false bottom, under which are located a cheek with a variable schag. 4. The device according to claim 1, characterized in that the rollers with a helical lambered line have a grooved surface. 5. The device according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that the rollers from the rollers (M1 winding and the dressing of the reel-shaped drums have a smooth surface.
