SU388728A1 - DEVICE FOR THERMAL TREATMENT OF FOOD PRODUCTS - Google Patents

Description

one

The invention relates to a technique for processing food products, in particular to devices for their heat treatment, and can be used for smoking, for example, sausages, meat and fish products.

Thermal processing devices for food products are known, consisting of a thermally insulated chamber with hanging paths for frames filled with products, a smoke generator, a fan for recirculating a thermal agent, electrical heating elements and guides for the thermal agent.

The proposed device has a more nonstandard design and speeds up the process.

This is achieved by the fact that the smoke generator is installed on the doors of the chamber and is equipped with a nozzle that serves to supply compressed air both to the smoke generator and the chamber, one of the walls of the latter has a discharge channel, and the fan is fixed on the ceiling of the chamber and located at different adjustable angles to the ceiling of the chamber.

FIG. 1 shows the proposed device, the general view; in fig. 2 - smoke generator with chamber door section, vertical section.

The device for heat treatment of lean products contains a hermetic chamber / with a discharge channel 2, in which a fan 3 with a drive 4 is installed, electrical elements 5 suspended in the chamber in front of the fan

paths 6 for frames with products suspended on them, guides 7, located at different adjustable angles to the ceiling of the chamber and serving to reflect the thermal agent (smoke-air mixture) installed outside the door 8 of the smoke generator 9.

The smoke generator is a cylindrical housing with a grate bottom 10, upper clamping using a steering wheel

a lid 12, a nozzle 13 for supplying compressed air and a lower lid 14. The smoke generator through the separator 15 and the nozzle 16 is in communication with the chamber. In the upper lid 12, an electric igniter P.

The door 8 of the chamber has windows 18 that allow the process to be monitored, and a valve 19 is installed above the door with an actuator 20 for removing the thermal agent.

The device works as follows. The camera using the overhead tracks is loaded with the product. After loading the door 8 is hermetically closed. The smoke generator is filled with firewood products, such as sawdust.

By turning the handwheel // the housing of the smoke heater 9 is pressed against the bottom cover 14, electric heating elements 5 and fan 4 drive 4 are turned on. // incinerate sawdust. The amount and composition of smoke regulate the supply of compressed air. Smoke from the generator enters the separator 15 where it is cleaned of heavy resinous substances. Purified smoke through the nozzle 16 enters the working space of the chamber. The fan 3, through the electric heating elements 5, sucks the smoke-air mixture and delivers it through the discharge channel 2 by means of the guides 7 to the product. The direction of flow of the smoke-air mixture can be adjusted by changing the angle of inclination of the guides. But after the end of the product treatment process, the smoke-air mixture is sucked using

valve 19. Then door 8 is opened and the finished product is unloaded.

Nredmet of the invention

A device for the heat treatment of food products, mainly sausages, consisting of a thermally insulated chamber with hanging paths for the frames filled with the product, a smoke generator, a fan for recirculating the thermal agent, electric heating elements and guides for the thermal agent, characterized in that , in order to simplify the design and speed up the process, a smoke generator

mounted on the doors of the chamber and provided with a nozzle that serves to supply compressed air to both the smoke generator and the chamber, one of the walls of the latter has a discharge channel, and a fan is installed in this channel, with the guides mounted on the ceiling of the chamber and located under various adjustable angles to the ceiling of the camera.
