Description

The utility model relates to the food industry and can be used for the manufacture of extruded food products from whole grains, as well as from cereals.

A device [1] is known for the manufacture of an extruded food product containing a housing, a loading hopper with a dispenser, millstones, a die and a die with a through rectangular hole, moreover, the cavities are connected in series with each other in series, moreover, the device is equipped with a flow distributor installed with the possibility of rotation at the same time with the screw and located along the axis of rotation of the matrix inside the millstone and inside two successively connected cavities, while between the screw and the millstone, as well as between new distributor and a gap size of 1 to 3 mm, forming a cavity pereminannya grain.

The disadvantage of this device is the design complexity and high metal consumption due to the presence of millstones in the structure. In addition, the presence of successively made cavities also burdens the design and leads to an increase in the size of the matrix.

A device [2] is known for manufacturing an extruded product comprising a housing, a loading hopper with a vibrodoser, a matrix and a tensioner, while the millstone with one working surface and a central hole, a transition alignment cavity, a transition diaphragm with a hole, and an adaptive cavity are consistently made in the matrix with a slotted diaphragm and a die with a through hole, elongated horizontally or vertically, in addition, slotted grooves are provided in the die for installing dividing but for dividing the product along the longitudinal axis, and in the tensioners, the drums are equipped with dividing knives for the transverse division of the product. In addition, temperature sensors can be installed on the matrix body to automate the control process.

The disadvantage of this device is the design complexity and high metal consumption due to the presence of a millstone in the structure, which complicates and aggravates the structure, in addition, due to the fact that the millstone has only one central hole intended for passage of the crushed grain mixture into the matrix, for which there is a need for further expansion of the flow of the grain mixture to the size corresponding to the diameter of the matrix, for this there is a leveling cavity, which also burdens the structure and leads to elicheniyu matrix sizes.

Closest to the claimed technical solution is a device [3] for the manufacture of food extruded product containing a housing, a loading hopper with a dispenser, a press extruder, and also a matrix in which a diaphragm with a hole, a slotted diaphragm and a die with a through rectangular hole are sequentially made , which can be made horizontally or vertically elongated, and a heating washer with a union nut, in which a slotted or dumbbell-like , or another slit-like opening with expanding edges, a slotted diaphragm and a die with a through rectangular hole, are structurally made in the form of a washer adjacent to the slotted diaphragm and a thin-walled pipe connected to it, which performs the function of forming a rectangular channel product. In addition, slotted grooves can be provided in the die for mounting dividing knives designed to divide the product along the longitudinal axis, and thermal sensors can be installed on the matrix body to automate the control process. In addition, the dispenser is made in the form of an additional screw with a continuously adjustable rotation, located between the outlet of the loading hopper and the inlet to the extruder body of the press.

The disadvantage of this device is the insufficiently uniform distribution of the mixture in the matrix, as a result of which the quality of the obtained extruded food product is reduced, due to the lack of a cavity necessary for the redistribution of the mixture before going through the explosion stage of the mixture. In the extruder, the mixture is fed by a screw into the heating washer, in which a slit or slit-like hole is made, where the mixture cannot be redistributed enough, which leads to heterogeneity of the obtained product, reducing its quality.

In addition, the disadvantage is the increased wear resistance of the device matrix due to the fact that the slotted diaphragm wears out rather quickly, which leads to a halt in the production process for its replacement, and this negatively affects the stability of the device.

In addition, this device has insufficient reliability due to the design of the matrix, in which the union nut directly presses only the heating washer to regulate the pressure on the screw of the extruder, while the die is located with a gap to the union nut and is not fixed to it, as a result which creates the possibility of uncontrolled longitudinal displacement of the die, which leads to a decrease in the quality of the product.

The utility model is based on the task of creating such a device for manufacturing an extruded food product, in which by improving the design increases the reliability of the device, its wear resistance, and also improves the quality of the obtained extruded food product

The problem is solved in that in the known device for manufacturing an extruded food product containing a housing, a loading hopper with a dispenser, a press extruder and a matrix that includes a heating washer with a hole, a die, which is made in the form of a washer with a nozzle and has a through forming channel , the union adjusting nut, according to the utility model, the die on one side is adjacent to the union adjusting nut, and on the other hand is directly adjacent to the heating washer, the hole of which performed stepwise, the size of each section decreases the degree of opening in the direction of the die, and the last stage section is designed as a slotted hole.

In addition, the through forming channel of the die has a section in the form of a rectangular-like figure, the smaller sides of which are rounded.

Due to the fact that the die is adjacent to the union adjusting nut on one side and directly adjacent to the heating washer, the wear resistance of the device matrix is increased and its operation is ensured.

In addition, it should be noted that such a design increases the reliability of the device, since it eliminates the longitudinal displacement of the die.

Due to the fact that the hole in the heating washer is made stepwise, and the cross-sectional size of each step of the hole decreases in the direction of the die, the pressure in the matrix increases gradually from the previous step of the hole in the washer to the next step towards the die, which improves the distribution of the mixture and, accordingly, the quality of the finished food product . In addition, since the section of the last stage is made in the form of a slit hole, the process of explosion of the mixture and the formation of the expanded grain mixture in the die under the influence of atmospheric pressure is provided under the influence of pressure. As a result, the quality of the finished product is significantly improved.

The implementation of the through forming channel of the die with a cross section in the form of a rectangular-shaped figure, the smaller sides of which are rounded, makes it possible to obtain an extruded food product of such a shape that it does not have sharp angles, and thus increases the attractiveness of the product and eliminates damage to the oral cavity of the consumer when using the product.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings on which are presented:

FIG. 1 - General view of the device for the manufacture of extruded food product;

FIG. 2 - A longitudinal section of the matrix device.

FIG. 3 View A of FIG. one.

The device (Fig. 1) consists of a housing 1, a loading hopper 2, a dispenser 3, a press extruder 4, a die 5, a cutting device 6, a device for receiving the finished food product 7.

In this case, the matrix 5 (Fig. 2) consists of a heating washer 8 with a hole 10 made stepwise, and the size of the cross section of each step of the hole decreases in the direction of the die, and the cross section of the last stage is made in the form of a slot hole, the die, which is made in the form of a washer 11 with a cylindrical thick-walled pipe 12 and has a through forming channel 13 and a union nut 9. Moreover, the through forming channel 13 of the nozzle of the die 12 can be horizontally or vertically elongated (not shown), and has a cross section in the form of a straight line a rectangular-like figure, the smaller sides of which are rounded (Fig. 3), which allows to obtain a food extruded product of increased thickness and to increase the productivity of the device. Slotted grooves may be provided in the die for mounting dividing knives for dividing the product along the longitudinal axis. The die, on the one hand, is adjacent to the union adjusting nut 9, and, on the other hand, is directly adjacent to the heating washer 8, eliminates the longitudinal displacement of the die and ensures reliable operation of the device.

The operation of the device is as follows:

The pre-prepared grain mixture is loaded into the loading hopper 2 and, using the batcher 3, the mixture is fed into the body of the press extruder 4, where the mixture is mixed, milled, extruded and fed to the matrix 5 using the screw of the extruder and enters the heating washer 8. The mixture passes under pressure through a step hole 10 located in the heating washer 8, the pressure in the matrix gradually increases from the previous step of the washer hole to the next step towards the die, which improves the distribution of cm B and accordingly the quality of the finished food product. Moreover, the cross-sectional size of each step of the hole decreases in the direction of the die, and the cross section of the last step is made in the form of a slot hole, due to which the mixture passing through the hole 10 is redistributed and under pressure gradually increasing from the previous step of the washer hole to the next step towards the die, the mixture is extruded through the slotted hole in the heating washer into the die and enters the through forming channel.

Moreover, the cross-sectional size of the through forming channel of the die is significantly larger than the outlet of the heating washer. At the initial section of the die, an explosion occurs of the mixture, which acquires a soft consistency and completely fills the hole of the die, made in the form of a through forming channel 13, the cross section of which is made in the form of a rectangular-like figure, the smaller sides of which are rounded. The forming channel of the die can be vertically elongated, or horizontally elongated. The finished product is formed in the die in the form of a flattened continuous tape of a certain thickness and width, which is then cut into pieces of a given length using a cutting device, for example, dividing knives under conditions of rapid solidification. The finished product is obtained in the form of a flattened box with rounded lateral edges. Moreover, the thickness of the finished product can be from 5 mm to 12 mm, and the width from 40 mm to 110 mm. The temperature of heating the grain mixture is regulated using a heating washer 8 by changing the resistance to movement of the grain mixture from the screw of the extruder press into the matrix using a union nut 9. The resulting finished product is fed to the device for receiving the finished food product 7, then packaged and stored.

Thus, the utility model allows to increase the reliability of the device, its durability, performance, as well as to improve the quality of the obtained extruded food product.
