The device crumbs and delivers the plate-shaped tofu mechanically and removes various foreign matters (like iron, hair, rope, thread end, and vinyl film) in the tofu so as to reduce the labor force and to prevent the musculoskeletal imbalance. The device which is used to crumb and select the tofu includes a crumbing and main delivering part which uses a delivery thread to crumb and deliver the plate-shaped tofu input by a feeding funnel, an auxiliary delivery part which delivers the crumbed tofu via a cam wheel, a firstselecting part which uses a magnetic rod to select the Fe in the crumbed tofu passing the auxiliary delivery part, and a second selecting part which selects the non-metal foreign matters in the crumbed tofu when the tofu having passed the first selecting part passes a filter.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for crushing and sorting tofu, and in particular to an apparatus for crushing and sorting tofu as described below, which mechanically crushes and conveys plate-shaped tofu and removes the Various foreign objects such as iron, hair, cords, lint, and vinyl, thereby reducing labor and also preventing musculoskeletal disorders. Background technique [0002] Tofu (also known as meat produced in a field) is a popular soy food made by grinding and heating soybeans that have been soaked in water, removing the tofu sediment and then adding a coagulant . Tofu is rich in vegetable fat as well as vegetable protein. [0003] Tofu is manufactured and sold in blocks.
