JPS5946875B2 - Fruit juice filling device with canard - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention particularly relates to an improvement of a fruit juice filling device containing cans.

Fruit juice with canard, that is, juice containing mandarin orange particles,
This product has the flavor of natural juice, and is also compatible with the recent trend of liking natural foods, so its demand is increasing significantly.

Various considerations have been made to produce this fruit juice containing canard so that the canard and fruit juice are evenly mixed.

Now, a filling device for manufacturing canned fruit juice, for example, containing canned fruit juice, generally includes a mixing tank that appropriately supplies and mixes canned fruit juice and canned fruit juice, and a sterilization of the canned fruit juice from this mixing tank. It has a basic configuration in which it has a tube heater and a filling machine, and these two are connected by a liquid feeding pipe.

Then, the canned fruit juice sent to the above-mentioned filling machine is temporarily stored in a tank, and is sequentially filled into the frustum with the canards evenly distributed.

In this case, if the amount of fruit juice in the tank is too large or too small, it is not preferable for uniform dispersion in the fruit juice. It's in control.

The amount of liquid fed is generally controlled by driving and stopping the liquid pump installed in the liquid feeding pipe, but when the liquid feeding pump stops, the movement of the fruit juice in the canads stops, and the sugar cane, which has a light specific gravity, stops moving. The particles float to the surface, significantly reducing the uniform dispersion of the sacs in the fruit juice.

In addition, the fruit juice in the sterilizing tube heater is overheated and deteriorated, leading to a decrease in quality, and the heating causes various problems such as increased pressure in the liquid pipe and backflow.

On the other hand, some attempts have been made to control the amount of liquid fed by installing a throttle valve mechanism in a part of the liquid feeding pipe to avoid the problems caused by stopping the liquid feeding.
In the case of fruit juice containing canard, another drawback is that the increased resistance when passing through the throttle valve destroys the canad, resulting in loss of the fruit juice's hard-earned characteristics.

This invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned problems with a simple structure, and one embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 and 1/ are mixing tanks provided in two series, 2
3 is a filling machine, and 3 is a tube heater, which are connected to each other by liquid feed pipes 4a, 4b, . . . and have the above-mentioned basic configuration.

A liquid feeding pump 6 whose rotation speed is controlled by a liquid level gauge 5 installed in the tank γ of the filling machine 2 is provided at one position of the liquid feeding pipe 4a.

This liquid feeding pump 6 operates a rack and pinion mechanism 8 using an air cylinder 7 operated by the signal from the liquid level gauge 5, thereby lowering its rotation speed when the liquid level in the tank 2 rises, and rotating when the liquid level falls. The configuration is such that it is controlled to increase the number.

In the same figure, 9 is a pipe for preheating and washing the liquid pipe, and valves 11a are installed at appropriate places on these liquid pipes 4a, 4b and the pipe for purposes such as collecting a sample or discharging washing water.
, '11b, 11c... are provided.

The mixing tanks 1 and 1' are alternately supplied with fruit juice obtained by mixing appropriate amounts of pure water A, liquid sugar B, and fruit juice C in a mixing tank 12.12 via the switching valve 13. This mixing tank 1,
At step 1', soybean paste is added and mixed, and the liquid is continuously sent through a switching valve 14 as fruit juice containing cano.

Since the device of the present application has the above-described configuration, the amount of liquid fed is controlled by controlling the rotational speed of the liquid feeding pump by reducing the amount of fruit juice in canisters that is filled one after another in the filling machine.

Therefore, in the above-mentioned liquid sending pipe, the only change is the flow rate of the fruit juice in the canad, and there is almost no destruction of the canad or overheating in the tube heater, and of course there is backflow due to increased pressure in the liquid sending pipe. This has the effect of eliminating the above-mentioned problems, such as not occurring at all.
