The present invention relates to a refining device for removing combined use of soybean sprouts, which removes unnecessary water and moisture such as harvested bean sprouts or sliced vegetables chopped to a predetermined size (in the present invention, these are collectively called bean sprouts). It is about.

After harvesting, the bean sprouts, such as bean sprouts purified by washing with water or finely chopped and soaked in water, adhere to the surface of the bean sprouts in order to maintain the freshness of the bean sprouts before packing them in a plastic bag or the like. It is necessary to remove the water, and also to maintain the commodity value by removing unnecessary matters such as debris, roots and shells attached to the surface of the bean sprouts with water.

Conventionally, washing out the unnecessary substances mixed with bean sprouts by washing with water and draining the bean sprouts after washing with water is carried out, and using such a centrifugal dehydrator to remove such water (Japanese Patent Publication No. 1991-224648). Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 1991-77659, etc.) and soybean sprouts are mounted on a conveyor to convey air classification from above (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 1991-103164, etc.).

However, it is not possible to sufficiently remove the wastes mixed in the bean sprouts by washing with water, and the removal of the water with a centrifugal dehydrator is not only the removal of the water but also the supply of the bean sprouts to the centrifugal dehydrator or the centrifugal dehydrator. When draining from a food dehydrator and during the dewatering operation by a centrifugal dehydrator, the bean sprouts are damaged or bruised. In addition, in the water removal operation by a centrifugal dehydrator, debris, shells, etc. adhering to the surface of the bean sprouts cannot be removed even after washing with water.

In order to solve this problem, a method of simultaneously removing water and removing unnecessary matters is adopted by contacting the air classification to the bean bars mounted on the longitudinal bar and the transverse blades intersected in a lattice shape (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1991-). 103164 et al.). However, in the air sorting method, there are problems in that the bean sprouts are blown or moved rapidly on the longitudinal bar and the lateral blade, causing the bean sprouts to be scratched and maintaining the commodity value and freshness of the bean sprouts. .

In addition, in the water removal method by air classification, the noise generated by air classification is very loud and the working environment is significantly worsened. In addition, according to the air classification, debris, roots or shells are scattered around and adhered to the apparatus, so that there is a problem that requires a large labor for cleaning the apparatus after the work is finished.

In addition, in the method of performing water removal by air separation, there is a problem that a non-negligible amount of bean sprouts falls due to air separation and causes loss of goods. In addition, the air jet injected into the bean sprouts has a problem of decreasing the freshness of the bean sprouts in contact with the air jet because the temperature rises when the air is pressurized by the blower to become warm air.

The present invention is continuous, without any drawbacks found in the conventional purification device of bean sprouts by a water washing device, a centrifugal dewatering device or a water removal device using air separation, and quietly and without damaging the bean sprouts. Sprouts that purify and remove moisture, and also remove unneeded items such as cut pieces, roots, shells, and debris that cannot be removed by cleaning processes, etc., and that are attached to and mixed with bean sprouts. It is an object of the present invention to provide a combined-use water purifying device.
