Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a fermentation processing vehicle for processing materials to be processed such as food waste, livestock manure, sludge, etc.

Conventionally, this type of fermentation treatment was carried out by transporting the material to be treated using a transport vehicle into a fixedly constructed fermentation tank.

For this reason, in addition to the high cost of constructing the fermentation tank, there were other drawbacks such as the fact that the transport vehicle transporting the material to be treated emitted a bad odor.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a fermenter that eliminates these conventional drawbacks and can perform an efficient and economical fermentation process.

A feature of the present invention is that a fermentation tank is installed in a car, a stirring mechanism and a ventilation mechanism are provided in this fermentation tank to form a fermentation processing vehicle, and furthermore, the fermentation tank of this fermentation processing vehicle accommodates the material to be processed. , the material to be treated is fermented by mixing fungi and stirring and ventilation.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 1 is a car, and an iron fermentation tank 2 having an appropriate capacity is installed in this car.

The inner surface of the fermentation tank 2 is coated with a synthetic resin, and the horizontal top of the upper surface is a lid 3 extending over the entire length in the longitudinal direction, which is controlled to open and close by hydraulic pressure.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a support shaft of the lid 3 extending in the longitudinal direction of the fermentation tank 2, and the lid 3 is opened approximately vertically about the support shaft 4.

When the lid 3 is opened, an opening (not shown) formed on the top surface of the fermentation tank 2 becomes a first input port.

This inlet is suitable for use when a large amount of material to be processed is input at once, for example, when the material to be processed is residue collected from a food factory or livestock manure collected from a large pig or poultry house. There is.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a second input port provided at the rear of the fermentation tank 2, and is used when the material to be processed is frequently input, for example, when the material to be processed is food waste collected from households. suitable for

Reference numeral 6 denotes a discharge port provided at the lower part of one side of the fermentation tank 2 so as to be located approximately at the center in the longitudinal direction, and is normally closed by a lid 7 that can be opened and closed.

8 is a screw conveyor disposed at the lower part of the fermentation tank 2, preferably having a diameter along the curved bottom surface of the fermentation tank 2, and one end of which rotates the front wall of the fermentation tank 2. The other end is connected to the oil motor 9 by freely passing through the rear wall of the tank 2, and the other end is connected to the bearing member 1 by freely passing through the rear wall of the tank
0 and is rotatably supported.

The screw conveyor 8 is composed of a pair of coaxial screws that are coaxial and extend toward the center of the fermentation tank 2 in order to transport the material to be processed into the fermentation tank 2 toward the center.

The screw conveyor 8, the oil motor 9, and the bearing member 10 constitute a stirring mechanism.

11 is a ventilation fan constituting a ventilation mechanism, and the fermentation tank 2
It is arranged to be openable and closable in the middle part of the lid body 3 in the longitudinal center of the upper surface, and is configured to be able to send outside air into the fermentation tank 2 and release air from the inside of the fermentation tank 2. There is.

Reference numerals 12, 13, and 14 indicate ventilation ports that can be opened and closed on the left and right sides of both ends of the lid 3 in the longitudinal direction.
12.13.1.
The burners 15 and 16 provided on the side surfaces of both ends of the fermentation tank 2 have combustion ports (not shown) located below the fermentation tank 2 in order to efficiently perform combustion.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a half-moon muffler extending along the bottom surface of the fermentation tank 2, and can be freely switched between a normal muffler (not shown) and warm air and hot water from engine cooling water by operation from the driver's seat.

Although not shown, a monitoring device for monitoring the temperature and humidity inside the fermentation tank 2 is provided at the driver's seat and at the rear of the fermentation tank 2.

Further, instead of the half-moon muffler 17, a direct burner (not shown) may be installed at the bottom of the fermentation tank 2.

Next, a fermentation processing method performed using the above-mentioned fermentation processing vehicle will be explained.

First, microorganisms such as soil bacteria, natto bacteria, or, most preferably, a plurality of types of microorganisms known as Uchijo bacteria are introduced into the fermentation tank 2 in advance.

Next, the sorted garbage, livestock manure, sludge, and other materials to be treated are transferred to a first input port (not shown) depending on the amount and collection method.
Alternatively, it is charged into the fermentation tank 2 through the second input port 5.

At this time, there is no problem even if a small amount of paper is included in the sorted garbage.

In addition, if there is a lot of water in sludge, etc., add rice bran or the like to adjust the water content.

Subsequently, or while the material to be processed is being put in, the oil motor 9 is started and the material to be processed is stirred by the screw conveyor 8.

Then, by monitoring the humidity and temperature inside the fermentation tank 2 using a monitoring device (not shown), each ventilation fan 11 and each ventilation opening 12, 13. Create an environment suitable for growth alternation of aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria, and adjust the humidity and temperature described above to bring the interior of the fermentation tank 2 into a state suitable for fermentation of the material to be processed by the action of the inner bacteria. and promote the fermentation process.

The temperature inside the fermentation tank 2 rises to 60 to 80 degrees Celsius due to this fermentation heat, and fermentation continues for a long time, but this high temperature kills pathogenic microorganisms such as E. coli and harmful small animals, and as will be described later. The processed material can be used as compost or feed in an extremely hygienic manner.

Furthermore, Uchijo bacteria can withstand temperatures as high as 120°C.

Here, when the outside temperature is extremely low and the temperature of the fermentation tank 20 does not reach the fermentation conditions, such as during a severe cold period in a cold region, each burner 15.16 is ignited, and the ventilation holes 12, 13.14 With the door closed, the ventilation fan 11 is rotated to send warm air toward the object to be treated, and the muffler is switched to a half-moon muffler 17 to heat the fermentation tank 2.

This heating is performed until the temperature inside the fermenter 2 reaches 25°C or higher.

After that, it will be fermented naturally.

Further, when the bottom surface of the fermentation tank 2 is heated with a direct burner as described above, E. coli etc. adhering to the bottom surface of the fermentation tank 2 can be directly killed by this heating section.

Note that when the moisture content of the material to be treated is high, air is discharged from the fermentation tank 2 using a ventilation port or a ventilation fan in order to sufficiently discharge water vapor.

The material to be fermented in the fermentation tank 2 in this manner is automatically pushed out by the action of the screw conveyor 8 when the discharge port 6 is opened.

The processed material discharged from the fermentation tank 2 is mainly used for compost, but if the processed material is food waste or food factory residue, it can be used as feed for livestock, fish, etc. Can be done.

The time required for the treatment is usually about 2 hours, but the quality of the feed will improve if it is allowed to age in the fermenter 2 for a day and a night.

The above-mentioned Uchijo fungus has been introduced in various magazines and is already widespread, and its manufacturing method and properties were published in
It is specified in Publication No.-28672.

That is, rice bran is the main material, and to this is added fish waste, okara, and a small amount of a mixture of bacteria, yeast, filamentous livestock, and enzymes, Rhizopus japonicus, and Bacillus natto. After adjusting the moisture content, heat fermentation at approximately 45°C, then stir to prepare fermentation culture bacteria, and add and stir the resulting fermentation culture bacteria to a mixture mainly consisting of rice hulls, fish waste, and pig manure. It is a complex bacterium obtained by further heating and fermenting the resulting mixture with steam at 40°C to 50°C, and is itself used as feed for livestock and as a soil conditioner.

In this way, according to the present invention, there is no need for a separate stationary fermentation tank and space for a fermentation tank, and the material to be processed can be quickly collected from several geographically distant locations and transported by car. Since it can be processed during the fermentation process, it does not deteriorate even in the summer, making it an economical and efficient process.Furmentation is carried out extremely quickly using fungi, which instantly eliminates bad odors. It does not emit any of the bad odors that come with recovery as in the past, and it produces highly nutritious processed materials from food scraps, sawdust, etc., which have been difficult to convert into feed, and is easily absorbed through microbial decomposition. It can improve meat quality, raise healthy livestock, and significantly reduce feed costs.

Furthermore, even if the collection location is in the mountains, it can be easily processed into feed, compost, etc., and has many excellent effects.

Although various explanations have been given above with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, burners and half-moon mufflers may be used in warm regions. is not necessarily necessary, and Uchijo bacteria is the most suitable microorganism or fungus to be used, but other so-called soil bacteria or natto bacteria may also be used. If this is the case, a paddle conveyor can be placed near the input port to crush it when it is input, making processing more efficient.Furthermore, a mesh-like magnet can be installed near the discharge port. Since the magnetic material mixed in the processed material can be removed from the fermentation tank, it is extremely suitable for using the processed material as feed for cattle that prefer metal objects. It goes without saying that many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, depending on the conditions of use and the objects to be treated.
