Description

Procédé et dispositif de retrait de la pulpe d'une noix de coco. Method and device for removing the pulp from a coconut.
La présente invention a pour objet un procédé et un dispositif de retrait de la pulpe d'une noix de coco hors de la coque de celle-ci.The present invention relates to a method and a device for removing the pulp of a coconut from the shell thereof.
Les noix de coco possèdent une chair ou pulpe très savoureuse qui peut être consommée directement, ou entrer dans la composition d'un certain nombre de produits alimentaires.Coconuts have a very tasty flesh or pulp that can be eaten directly, or used in the composition of a number of food products.
Dans ce dernier cas, il est nécessaire de réaliser la séparation entre la pulpe et la coque afin d'obtenir une purée qui est ensuite utilisée dans les préparations alimentaires.In the latter case, it is necessary to separate the pulp from the shell in order to obtain a puree which is then used in food preparations.
La pulpe adhérant de façon intime à la coque, la méthode traditionnelle pour séparer la pulpe de la coque consiste à réaliser une extraction à chaud, la pulpe étant amenée lors du chauffage à un état de dessèchement facilitant son décollement hors de la coque. Toutefois, la pulpe extraite à chaud perd de ses qualités gustati es.The pulp adhering intimately to the shell, the traditional method for separating the pulp from the shell consists in carrying out a hot extraction, the pulp being brought during heating to a state of drying facilitating its detachment out of the shell. However, the hot extracted pulp loses its taste qualities.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients, en fournissant un procédé et un dispositif de séparation à froid de la pulpe et de la coque d'une noix de coco.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a method and a device for cold separation of the pulp and the shell of a coconut.
Ce procédé consiste, après avoir coupé la noix de coco en deux, à injecter dans chaque moitié de celle-ci, un fluide incompressible sous pression entre la pulpe et la coque. La pulpe étant très rigide, de même que la coque, l'injection de fluide sous pression permet une désoiidarisation de ces deux éléments sans que la pulpe soit détériorée au cours de cette opération. Selon un mode de mise en oeuvre de ce procédé, le fluide introduit entre la coque et la pulpe est constitué par de l'eau. Afin de réaliser une séparation rapide n'excédant pas quelques secondes, la pression de fluide est supérieur à 100 bars (1 bar = 10 Pa).This process consists, after having cut the coconut in half, by injecting into each half of it, an incompressible fluid under pressure between the pulp and the shell. As the pulp is very rigid, like the shell, the injection of pressurized fluid allows these two elements to be de-solidified without the pulp being damaged during this operation. According to an embodiment of this process, the fluid introduced between the shell and the pulp consists of water. In order to achieve rapid separation not exceeding a few seconds, the fluid pressure is greater than 100 bars (1 bar = 10 Pa).
Un dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé comprend un support plan équipé de moyens de fixation d'une demi-coque de noix de coco, dont l'ouverture est tournée vers le haut, ainsi qu'au moins une buse d'amenée de fluide sous pression associée à des moyens de guidage du fluide, entre la coque et la pulpe.A device for implementing this method comprises a flat support equipped with means for fixing a coconut half-shell, the opening of which faces upwards, as well as at least one supply nozzle. of pressurized fluid associated with means for guiding the fluid, between the shell and the pulp.

Selon une forme d'exécution, le dispositif selon l'invention comprend un équipage mobile disposé au-dessus du support recevant une demi-noix de coco, déplaçable perpendiculairement à celui-ci, cet équipage mobile étant équipé d'au moins une buse d'amenée de fluide sous pression, et d'une plaquette qui, orientée sensiblement perpendiculairement au plateau support de la demi-noix de coco sert à guider le fluide sous pression entre la coque et la pulpe.Advantageously, the means for fixing the half-shell to its support consist of three pins mounted to be displaceable perpendicular to the plane of the support against the action of a spring, the free end of each pin being in the form of hook ensuring fixation in the fibrous material, constituting the outer wall of the coconut. According to one embodiment, the device according to the invention comprises a movable assembly disposed above the support receiving a half coconut, movable perpendicularly to the latter, this movable assembly being equipped with at least one nozzle 'supply of pressurized fluid, and a plate which, oriented substantially perpendicular to the support plate of the half-coconut serves to guide the pressurized fluid between the shell and the pulp.
Avantageusement, chaque plaquette comporte un retour qui en est sensiblement perpendiculaire, ce retour étant disposé à proximité de 0 l'extrémité de la plaquette située du côté du support, avec ménagement d'un épaulement entre la plaquette et son retour, à l'extrémité de la plaquette située du côté du support, des moyens étant prévus pour assurer un déplacement de la plaquette et de son retour, parallèlement au support.Advantageously, each plate has a return which is substantially perpendicular thereto, this return being arranged near 0 the end of the plate located on the side of the support, with a shoulder between the plate and its return at the end. of the wafer located on the side of the support, means being provided to move the wafer and its return, parallel to the support.
En pratique, l'équipage mobile, équipé de plusieurs buses d'amenée -5 de fluide sous pression, trois ou quatre par exemple, est déplacé en direction du support jusqu'à ce que les retours des plaquettes viennent en contact avec le bord de la demi-coque, les plaquettes se trouvant alors en position rapprochée les unes des autres. Lorsque cet appui est réalisé, l'équipage est arrêté et les plaquettes et leurs retours sont déplacés indépendamment les 0 uns des autres vers l'extérieur jusqu'à ce que l'épaulement ménagé à l'extrémité de chaque plaquette située du côté du support vienne en contact avec la coque. Lorsque l'ensemble est dans cette position, les plaquettes sont parfaitement positionnées pour permettre de diriger le fluide sous pression de façon optimale entre la coque et la pulpe. Les buses sont alors alimentées en 5 fluide sous pression, jusqu'à ce que la pulpe soit détachée de la coque, opération qui est effectuée en quelques secondes.In practice, the moving assembly, equipped with several supply nozzles -5 of pressurized fluid, three or four for example, is moved in the direction of the support until the returns of the plates come into contact with the edge of the half-shell, the plates then being in a position close to one another. When this support is achieved, the crew is stopped and the plates and their returns are moved independently of each other outward until the shoulder formed at the end of each plate located on the side of the support comes into contact with the hull. When the assembly is in this position, the plates are perfectly positioned to allow the fluid under pressure to be directed optimally between the shell and the pulp. The nozzles are then supplied with pressurized fluid, until the pulp is detached from the shell, an operation which is carried out in a few seconds.
Conformément à une autre forme d'exécution, le dispositif selon l'invention comprend un équipage mobile portant une buse d'amenée de fluide sous pression débouchant dans une canule, cet équipage mobile étant 0 déplaçable perpendiculairement au plateau support de la demi-noix de coco à traiter, et la canule étant disposée sensiblement au milieu de cette demi-noix. Dans ce cas, après qu'une noix de coco ait été positionnée sur son support, l'ensemble mobile est déplacé en direction de celui-ci, jusqu'à ce que la canule ayant percée la pulpe débouche dans l'intervalle compris entre *5 celle-ci et la coque. Du fluide sous pression est alors injecté dans cet espace, en vue de réaliser la séparation de la pulpe et de la coque.In accordance with another embodiment, the device according to the invention comprises a movable assembly carrying a nozzle for supplying pressurized fluid opening into a cannula, this movable assembly being 0 movable perpendicular to the support plate of the half-nut of coconut to be treated, and the cannula being disposed substantially in the middle of this half-nut. In this case, after a coconut has been positioned on its support, the mobile assembly is moved in the direction of the latter, until the cannula having pierced the pulp emerges in the interval between * 5 thereof and the hull. Pressurized fluid is then injected into this space, in order to separate the pulp and the shell.

Le dispositif représenté à la figure 1 comprend un support horizontal 2 sur lequel sont montés des moyens de fixation d'une demi-noix de coco 3 comportant une coque 4 et de la pulpe 5. Le but de l'invention est de séparer à froid la pulpe 5 de la coque 4, la pulpe demeurant au cours de -5 cette opération enveloppée de la pellicule brune qui l'entoure appelée cuticule. Les moyens de fixation de la demi-coque 3 sont constitués par trois pions 6, montés chacun déplaçables perpendiculairement au support 2, à l'encontre de l'action d'un ressort 7. L'extrémité libre de chaque pion 6 forme une espèce de crochet 8, tourné vers l'intérieur, destiné à s'engager 0 dans la matière constitutive de la paroi extérieure de la coque 4.The device shown in Figure 1 comprises a horizontal support 2 on which are mounted means for fixing a half-coconut 3 comprising a shell 4 and pulp 5. The object of the invention is to separate cold the pulp 5 of the shell 4, the pulp remaining during this operation wrapped in the brown film which surrounds it called the cuticle. The means for fixing the half-shell 3 consist of three pins 6, each mounted to be movable perpendicular to the support 2, against the action of a spring 7. The free end of each pin 6 forms a species hook 8, turned inwards, intended to engage 0 in the material constituting the external wall of the shell 4.
Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend également un équipage mobile désigné par la référence 9, monté déplaçable perpendiculairement au support 2, sous l'action d'un vérin 10, fixé sur un support 12 en forme de col de cygne par exemple. L'équipage mobile 9 comprend un plateau 13 sur -5 lequel sont montés quatre ensembles identiques disposés à 90° les uns des autres. Chaque ensemble comprend une plaquette 14 montée à l'extrémité de la tige d'un vérin 15 d'orientation perpendiculaire à la plaquette et parallèle au support 2. A son extrémité inférieure, cette plaquette est équipée d'un retour horizontal 16, avec ménagement d'un epaulement 17 constitué par le bord inférieur de la plaquette 14, s'étendant au-delà du retour 16. Les vérinsThe device according to the invention also comprises a mobile assembly designated by the reference 9, mounted movable perpendicularly to the support 2, under the action of a jack 10, fixed on a support 12 in the form of a swan neck for example. The moving element 9 comprises a plate 13 on -5 which are mounted four identical assemblies arranged at 90 ° from each other. Each assembly comprises a plate 14 mounted at the end of the rod of a jack 15 of orientation perpendicular to the plate and parallel to the support 2. At its lower end, this plate is equipped with a horizontal return 16, with care a shoulder 17 formed by the lower edge of the plate 14, extending beyond the return 16. The jacks
15 sont par exemple des vérins pneumatiques dont le mouvement s'arrête dès qu'est exercée une contre-pression de valeur prédéterminée.15 are for example pneumatic cylinders, the movement of which stops as soon as a back pressure of predetermined value is exerted.
Après mise en place d'une demi-noix de coco 3 sur le support, l'ensemble se trouve dans la position représentée à la figure 1, l'équipage mobile étant en position haute, et les plaquettes 14 étant en position rapprochée les unes des autres. L'équipage mobile est déplacé vers le bas jusqu'à ce que les retours 16 associés aux plaquettes viennent en contact avec le bord de la demi-coque 4, comme montré à la figure 2. Les vérins 15 sont alors actionnés pour déplacer les plaquettes 14 et les retours 16 vers l'extérieur, jusqu'à ce que l'épaulement 17 de chaque plaquette soit en appui contre la coque 4. Les buses 18 associées à chaque plaquette sont alors alimentées en fluide sous pression et injectent ce fluide enre la coque et la pulpe, assurant une séparation de ces deux éléments sans aucune détérioration de la pulpe.After placing a half-coconut 3 on the support, the assembly is in the position shown in FIG. 1, the moving element being in the high position, and the plates 14 being in the close-together position. others. The moving part is moved down until the returns 16 associated with the pads come into contact with the edge of the half-shell 4, as shown in FIG. 2. The jacks 15 are then actuated to move the plates 14 and the returns 16 outwards, until the shoulder 17 of each plate is resting against the shell 4. The nozzles 18 associated with each wafer are then supplied with pressurized fluid and inject this fluid between the shell and the pulp, ensuring separation of these two elements without any deterioration of the pulp.
Cette opération étant effectuée en quelques secondes, y compris le positionnement d'une demi-noix de coco sur le support, ce dispositif permet de travailler avec des cadences très rapides tout en conservant à la pulpe toutes ses qualités gustatives.This operation being carried out in a few seconds, including the positioning of a half-coconut on the support, this device makes it possible to work with very fast rates while preserving in the pulp all its taste qualities.
Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de ce dispositif, décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation. C'est ainsi, notamment, que l'équipage mobile pourrait être muni d'une canule unique qui, alimentée en fluide sous pression, serait susceptible de perforer la pulpe en son centre, par exemple, pour injecter le fluide sous pression dans l'espace ménagé entre la pulpe et la coque, sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de l'invention. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this device, described above by way of example; on the contrary, it embraces all of its variant embodiments. Thus, in particular, the mobile assembly could be provided with a single cannula which, supplied with pressurized fluid, would be capable of perforating the pulp at its center, for example, to inject the pressurized fluid into the space provided between the pulp and the shell, without departing from the scope of the invention.
