Patent

CA 2073484

A stainless steel tank has a hinged cover which closes over a cylindrical drum which is rotatably mounted within the tank. The drum has a stiff support structure with an inlet end plate and a discharge end plate and a plurality of linear support members extending between and rigidly fastened to the two end plates. A helical auger is welded to and supported by the support members and is positioned within the drum by a central core tube. The auger and core tube are not connected to the inlet end plate leaving an unobstructed open-throat which allows the free flow of food product into the drum. A perforated cylinder of screen material surrounds the drum and retains food product therein. An infeed flight attachment extends from the auger to the inlet end plate and has a curved portion which extends beneath the water level to avoid contact with the food product above the water level. The inlet opening to the drum may be of larger diameter than the core tube allowing the introduction of very wide food product into the drum.
