Description

Abalone-spat powder manufacturing method and cleaning apparatus using the same {Abalone-spat powder manufacturing method and cleaning apparatus using the same}

The present invention relates to a method for producing abalone scallop powder that does not meet standards in the process of abalone commercialization and a washing machine used therefor.

Abalone has developed a lot in aquaculture technology, and it is now possible to supply in large quantities. However, since abalone is a relatively expensive seafood, only products are selected and sold to consumers in consideration of damage, size, etc., so in the process of sorting abalone commercialization, freshness is good, but abalone shellfish, which are yawns that do not meet the standard, are discarded.

The larger the amount of abalone fry, the more direct cause of the increase in the cost of abalone.

Therefore, it is a reality that there is an urgent need for a plan to process and utilize abalone shells that do not meet the standard together with shells and abalone meat.

Fig. 2 is a schematic front view of the washing machine used in Fig. 1;

Referring to the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the method for manufacturing abalone shells (1) powder according to an embodiment of the present invention does not separate the abalone shells (1), which are yawns that do not meet the standard, into shells and abalone meat in the process of commercializing abalone. A method of processing all of them into powder without processing them into powder so that they can be used as feed in farms, barns, etc. and a washing step.

Abalone powder, the main ingredient of which is calcium carbonate, which is processed into powder together with shell and abalone meat, is not only highly nutritious but also contains a large amount of natural calcium, so it can be used as a quality feed.

In the process of selecting abalone products using an existing abalone product selector or the like, the abalone shellfish (1) collection step (S10) may collect abalone shellfish (1) that are classified as yawns because they do not meet the standard.

In the cooking step (S20), a large amount of abalone shellfish (1) collected using a cooking machine such as an electric cauldron or a steamer can be cooked by heating to a certain temperature for a certain time. The abalone shells (1) in the ripening step (S20) are intact, not artificially separated into shells and abalone meat. Of course, the abalone shells (1) may also include those separated into shells and abalone meat in the process of sorting.

In the drying step (S30), the abalone shellfish (1) cooked in the ripening step (S20) can be dried using hot air or freeze-dried using a dryer.

In the grinding step (S40), the abalone powder can be completed by grinding the shells and abalone meat of the abalone shellfish (1) together using an ultra-fine particle grinder. Since the abalone powder is boiled so that the abalone shellfish 1 can be ground several times, the grinding step (S40) can be repeated a number of times depending on the purpose of final consumption of the abalone powder.

The washing step is a step of washing the abalone shellfish (1). This washing step may include a pre-washing step of first washing the abalone shellfish (1) collected before the cooking step (S20) in a state where the shell and abalone meat are not separated. The washing step may further include a post-washing step of secondarily washing the cooked abalone shellfish (1) after the ripening step (S20).

In the washing step, the abalone shellfish 1 can be cleaned more easily and cleanly automatically by the washing machine 10 as follows.

The washing machine 10 may include a washing tub 12, stirring blades 14, a brush 16, an electromagnet 18, and a bubble supply unit 20.

The washing tank 12 may be formed in the form of a water tank capable of immersing the abalone shellfish 1 in the washing water 2 for a certain period of time. A water supply valve 12a for supplying the washing water 2 to the inside of the washing tank 12 may be provided on one side of the washing tank 12, and a lower part of the washing tank 12 or the bottom of the washing tank 12 may be provided in the washing tank 12. A drain valve 12b for draining the supplied washing water 2 may be provided. A door for entering and exiting the abalone shellfish 1 may be disposed on the side of the washing tank 12. The washing tub 12 may have a longer horizontal length than the horizontal length corresponding to the stirring blades 14 .

The stirring blades 14 are disposed inside the washing tank 12 and rotate by the power of the driving unit to agitate the abalone shellfish 1. The stirring blades 14 can rotate in the horizontal direction with their rotational shafts arranged long in the horizontal direction so that the abalone shells 1 can be stirred up and down. The driving unit of the stirring blades 14 may include a motor, and the motor may be formed of a step motor capable of repeating rotation and stop of the stirring blades 14 in units of a predetermined angle. Therefore, while the rotation of the stirring blades 14 is stopped, the abalone shells 1 close to the brush 16 can be sufficiently brushed by the brush 16. The predetermined angle may be less than one rotation, that is, less than 360 degrees, and may be determined, for example, corresponding to the blade arrangement angle of the stirring blades 14. That is, when the blades of the stirring blades 14 are configured with three blades at intervals of 120 degrees, the step motor can rotate the stirring blades 14 in units of 120 degrees. Therefore, the abalone shellfish 1 can be evenly washed by the brush 16 or the like. The controller for controlling the motor may adjust the speed of the stirring blades 14. That is, the control unit rotates the stirring blades 14 at a low speed in the pre-washing step to prevent bursting of the intestines of the abalone shellfish 1, and in the post-washing step rotates the stirring blades 14 at a relatively high speed to self-ripe abalone shellfish. By easily separating (1) into shell and abalone meat, it is possible to cleanly wash the inner surface of shell and abalone meat.

The brush 16 is disposed below the stirring blades 14 in the washing tank 12, and can be reciprocated in a horizontal direction by a motor or a hydraulic/pneumatic cylinder to wipe the abalone shells 1. At this time, the lower abalone shells 1 close to the brush 16 may be trapped between the blades of the stirring blade 14, so that even if the brush 16 reciprocates, it does not run away from the brush 16 and adheres to the brush 16. It can be brushed as it is.

In the body of the brush 16 supporting the bristles of the brush 16 at the lower side of the bristles of the brush 16, a plurality of through holes penetrated vertically between the bristles of the brush 16 are formed, and foreign substances such as sand are formed on the lower side of the brush 16 in the washing tank 12. A collection unit 11 for collecting may be disposed. Therefore, foreign substances mixed in the abalone scallops 1 and foreign substances dropped from the abalone scallops 1 may be collected in the collection unit 11 through the brush 16.

The collection unit 11 may be formed of the space itself under the brush 16 in the washing tub 12, or a separate collection container may be configured in a drawer type.

The electromagnet 18 is disposed on the stirring blades 14 or the collector 11 to form a magnetic force when electricity is supplied to adsorb fine (heavy) metal foreign substances. Therefore, abalone powder can be made into a safer feed.

The bubble supply unit 20 injects (fine) bubbles toward the abalone flounder 1 in the washing tank 12. Therefore, the washing water 2 can penetrate deeply between the abalone shell 1, the shell and the abalone meat, and can be washed by bubbles, so that the washing rate can be improved. The nozzle of the bubble supply unit 20 is disposed in the collection unit 11 and can spray bubbles through the through hole of the brush 16 . The nozzle of the bubble supply unit 20 is disposed on the sidewall of the washing tank 12 and can directly spray bubbles toward the abalone shell 1.

Meanwhile, a plurality of washing balls 22 that are put into the washing tub 12 and have a rough surface or have brushes 16 attached to the surface may further be included. A magnet may be formed in the washing ball 22 to adsorb (heavy) metal foreign substances. Therefore, since the washing balls 22 can rub the abalone shells 1 between the abalone shells 1 while being agitated with the abalone shells 1 by the rotation of the agitation blades 14, the abalone shells 1 It can clean more thoroughly and remove (heavy) metal foreign substances.

When the washing process is performed using such a washing tank 12, the abalone larvae 1 can be immersed in the washing water 2 for a certain period of time, and at the same time, while stirring the abalone larvae 1 with the stirring blades 14, the brush 16 ) and cleaning ball 22, adsorbs (heavy) metal foreign substances with magnetic force, and penetrates the washing water (2) deep between the shell of the abalone shell (1) and the abalone meat by (fine) bubbles and removes foreign substances It can be eliminated, so that the abalone shellfish (1) can be easily cleaned.

The washing water (2) is mixed with citric acid among organic acids, so that the abalone flounder (1) can be washed more cleanly and safely. Considering the cleaning power and cost performance by citric acid, approximately 2 liters of water and 140 to 160 g of citric acid per 1 kg of abalone shellfish (1) are preferable.

The washing step may further include a rinsing process of rinsing the abalone flounder 1 only with water without adding citric acid after performing the washing process with washing water 2 containing citric acid.
