Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for coating fried foods with breadcrumbs on seafood, meat, or various products made from these before being fried in oil. To apply breadcrumbs to a product, breadcrumbs are fed to a substantially constant thickness, the breadcrumb bed formed is transferred at a constant speed, items are placed one after another on this breadcrumb bed, and then a hopper is placed over the breadcrumbs. Bread crumbs are sprinkled on the top of the conveyor line to prevent the bread crumbs from adhering to the entire surface of the product. Because it requires a hopper and a packet conveyor etc. to supply bread crumbs to the hopper, the structure is complicated, and not only is the device tall and large, but the hopper and packet conveyor are extremely difficult to clean and unsanitary. Moreover, although conventional equipment can be applied to dry bread crumbs that have almost completely removed moisture, they are difficult to stick to and tend to cause bridging when using raw bread crumbs that contain a large amount of moisture. This method could not be applied to fresh bread crumbs because it easily clogged inside the hopper.

The present invention eliminates the conventional hopper and packet conveyor by scraping and splashing the bread crumbs on the moving bread crumb bed to the articles placed on the moving bread crumb bed. It has a simple structure and can be reliably applied even to raw bread crumbs.To explain this example using a drawing, in the drawing 1 is a device that moves at a constant speed on a guide plate 3 attached to a frame 2. A belt conveyor installed in
65 Weir plates 4, 4 are provided in parallel on both the left and right sides, and both weir plates 4, 4 are attached to the frame 2 so that their lower surfaces have a slight gap (approximately 1%) with respect to the belt conveyor 1. Belt conveyor 1 between both weir plates 4゜4
It is configured to form a bread crumb bed 5 that moves in the direction of the arrow by supplying bread crumbs to a substantially constant thickness.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a splash shaft mounted perpendicularly to the movable crumb bed 5, and both ends of the shaft 60 are supported by bearings 8, 8 attached to brackets 7.7 erected from the frame 2. This shaft 6 is rotatably driven in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the bread crumb bed 5 by a motor 9 attached to one bracket 1. Impellers 10, 11, and 12 with flat blades are installed at three locations so that their outer peripheries are close to the top surface of the belt conveyor 1, and at At the side position, a plate material having the same width as the diameter of the impeller 10 is arranged in a planar M shape, that is, impeller pairs 10, 11 and 11.
, 12, the screen plate 13 is bent into a planar chevron shape toward the front side in the feeding direction of the bread crumb bed 5, and is provided with an appropriate gap so that its lower surface does not contact the upper surface of the bread crumb bed 5, and the conveyor line It is attached to the bracket 7.7 via arms 14, 14 so as to be substantially perpendicular to the bracket 7.7.

Note that 15, 15 indicates a side cover, and 16 indicates a detachable lid.

In this configuration, an item 17 made of batter such as potato starch or wheat flour dissolved in water in advance to make it easier for bread crumbs to adhere is placed in the impeller 10. If the crumbs are sequentially placed on the movable bed of crumbs 5 between the impellers 10, 11, and 12 on the front side in the feeding direction from lL12 (in this case, the bread crumbs bed 5 is placed at an appropriate depth along the moving direction). forming grooves 18 and 19,
Items 17 may be placed in these grooves 18 and 19 in order of increasing size), and each item 17 is placed on each impeller 10° 11.1
It will pass between 2.

The crumbs located at the corresponding location of each impeller 10, 11, 12 of the fixed and moving crumb bed 5, that is, on the side of the item, are moved by the impellers 10, 1 rotating in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the crumb bed 5.
Between impellers 10 and 11 and between impellers 11 and 1 at L12
The impellers 10, 11, and 120 fall between each impeller 10, 11, and 120 due to the guiding action of both inwardly inclined surfaces of the screen plate 13. Since the product 17 passing between the impellers 10, 11, and 12 is thrown away, the product 17 is completely buried in the crumbs as shown in FIG.
Bread crumbs adhere to the entire surface.

Incidentally, scattering of bread crumbs to the side can also be prevented by forming the blades of the pair of impellers located on both the left and right sides of the product on the bread crumb bed into inwardly twisted blades.

In summary, the present invention provides a pair of impellers located on both the left and right sides of the bread crumb bed formed on the conveyor line, and a planar chevron-shaped screen plate located at the rear in the direction of rotation of the products. As a result, the breadcrumbs in the breadcrumb bed are splashed onto the products, and there is no need for a hopper and a packet conveyor for sprinkling the breadcrumbs on the products as in the past, so the structure is extremely simple and can be made smaller. , easy to clean and hygienic, and
A pair of left and right impellers that rotate in the opposite direction to the moving breadcrumb bed splash the crumbs from the breadcrumb bed onto the product, so it can be reliably applied not only to dry breadcrumbs but also to fresh breadcrumbs that contain a large amount of moisture. Furthermore, since the pair of left and right impellers of the present invention do not come into contact with the item, the item will not be damaged by the impeller, and can be applied to items that are extremely easily crushed. At the rear in the rotational direction, that is, at the lateral position on the front side of the conveyor in the feed direction, there is a screen plate with a planar chevron shape and approximately the same height as the diameter of the impeller, so that the rotation of the impeller will remove the crumbs from the area. There is no large scattering, reducing the loss of bread crumbs, and since the lower end of the screen plate does not touch the bread crumb bed or the goods, it is effective without disturbing the bread crumb bed surface or damaging the goods.
