Description

Something related to food processing equipment.

Vegetable washing machines are known, consisting of loading and unloading trays, a conical drum driven in rotation by supporting roles. Inside the drum there are reservoirs for supplying pressurized water to the raw materials being processed. The drum is a co () th frame, outside of which steel wire Cl1 is spirally wound.

The disadvantage of this machine is with high water consumption.

The closest to the technical essence and the achieved effect to the proposed is a machine for washing of root crops, containing loading and unloading trays, a bath with liquid and installed in it with a water bar drum with blades strengthened along its forming 23.

The disadvantage of this machine is the poor quality of washing due to the lack of sufficient friction of the root crops between themselves and the wall of the drum.

The purpose of the invention is to improve the quality of washing by increasing the contact surface of the fruit with each other and with the wall of the drum.

To achieve this goal, in the root washing machine, containing loading and unloading trays, a bath with liquid and installed in

In this case, the drive drum with blades reinforced along its generatrix is equipped with an additional perforated drum of smaller diameter located between the loading tray and the drum, while the blades have the form of buckets with a length corresponding to the length of the drum and are separated by internal transverse partitions.

FIG. 1 schematically depicted

machine for washing root vegetables, pro slit; in fig. 2 - the same

Section A-A in FIG. 1 -, in FIG. 3

the same, section bb in fig. one.

The machine consists of a loading chute 1, a bath 2 with a drum installed in it, consisting of a shaft 3 of crossings t of shells 5 of the bar wall 6, blades 7 for moving the raw material along the drum and blades 8 for unloading the processed raw material into the discharge tray 9.

To reduce water consumption and improve the quality of washing, the water level in the drum maintains no more than two diameters of the fruit, while in the drum along it there are gaps 10, along which the blades 11 are reinforced, having the form of water buckets, arranged to drain water onto the raw material through the gaps 10 when moving the drum axle buckets.

For the same amount of draining of water from the buckets along the entire length of the drum, the buckets are separated by longitudinal internal partitions 12.

And to prevent the soil, stems and other impurities from getting into the drum, it contains under the loading tray 1 an additional rod drum 13 of smaller diameter and a discharge tray 1 for impurities.

For rinsing the processed raw material, when unloading the blades 8 from the drum in the machine, there is a perforating collector 15 in the machine. A bath 2 for continuously pumping out the dirty water and maintaining its constant level in the drum contains a conical valve 16 at the bottom, suspended by means of a flexible rod 17 on the float 18 in the tank 19 communicating with the bath.

For manual opening of the valve 16 if it is necessary to release water from the bath 2, the float 18 is provided with a lever 20.

The machine works as follows

Root vegetables, such as carrots, from tray 1 enter the additional rod drum 13 to separate rpyiHTa, stems and other impurities, which are through the gaps between the rods; poured out of the drum 13 and removed from the machine through the tray I.

Next, the root crops enter the main rod drum, as it rotates, the baths 2 are soaked in water and move along the drum with vanes 7. As the water level in the drum is no more than two diameters of the root crops, the surface of fruit contact with each other and the surface of the drum increases, as a result, the forces of surface friction of the raw materials increase. At the same time, through the gaps 10, the roots are continuously wetted and rinsed from above with water from the buckets. As water is poured into the raw material from above, it also acquires some kinetic energy, which tenses the quality of washing.

Due to the fact that water is used by ladles many times, water is reduced.

After processing, the roots are cleaned with clear water from the collector 13 and discharged by trays 8 through tray 9.

After rinsing the roots, the water flows into bath 2, while

It is maintained by a conical valve 16, in the case of a rising water level, the float 1 rises up and the hard 17 opens the valve 16, the excess water flows together with the soil collected at the bottom of the bath 2.

This machine will improve the quality of washing and prevent immesi from entering the main drum.
