Patent

CA 2191682

An enclosed food processing device is provided having one or more conveyor belts and vertical agitators positioned above the belt. The agitators have forward and backward prongs that stir the food being processed without causing physical damage to it. The food enters the device through an inlet and is evenly distributed across a draining screen by an inlet deflector plate, which is adjustable to account for the different rates at which the food may flow into the device. Ramps are positioned under the device to collect liquid drained from the food, and the ramps have independent segments that separate the liquid based on the stage of the process at which it is drained from the food. A salting apparatus is provided for conveying salt to the food to be processed. The salt is dispensed in proportion to the amount of food to be salted. Salt is moved from a salt hopper into a chamber by a rotating dispensing wheel. The salting apparatus has a pump that moves a fluid, such as filtered air, through a Venturi pickup tee, where it creates a partial vacuum that pulls salt into the airstream from the chamber. The salt then is pushed through stationary salt distribution tubes and applied to the food to be salted.

ispositif de traitement d'aliments sous enceinte comportant une ou plusieurs courroies transporteuses et des agitateurs verticaux placés au-dessus de la courroie. Les agitateurs ont des fourchons tournés vers l'avant et tournés vers l'arrière qui brassent les aliments traités sans leur causer de dommage physique. Les aliments entrent dans le dispositif par une bouche d'admission et sont distribués uniformément sur un tamis d'égouttage au moyen d'une plaque déflectrice à l'admission, laquelle peut se régler pour tenir compte des différents débits d'admission des aliments dans le dispositif. Des rampes sont placées sous le dispositif pour recueillir le liquide d'égouttement des aliments, et les rampes ont des segments indépendants qui séparent le liquide selon l'étape du traitement au cours de laquelle se produit l'égouttement. Un appareil de salage amène le sel sur les aliments à traiter. Le sel est tiré d'une trémie et amené à une chambre par une roue distributrice. L'appareil de salage a une pompe qui fait circuler un fluide, tel de l'air filtré, et le fait passer dans un té de prise venturi où il crée un vide partiel qui entraîne le sel dans le courant d'air sortant de la chambre. Le sel est ensuite poussé à travers des tubes stationnaires de distribution du sel et appliqué aux aliments à saler.
