Tomato pomace and peel separation device

Abstract

The invention relates to a tomato pomace and peel separation device. The device comprises a feeding mechanism, a rubbing mechanism and a pomace-peel separation mechanism, and is characterized in that the feeding mechanism consists of a driving motor, a hopper fixed at the top of a frame, a closing wind feeder positioned below the hopper and connected with the motor, a homogenizing disc driven by a transmission shaft to rotate around the disc center and an upper stopper; the homogenizing disc is positioned in an outlet of the closing wind feeder; the rubbing mechanism comprises fixed tooth discs fixed around the inner wall of the frame, a movable tooth disc driven to rotate by the motor through a coupling and a transmission shaft and positioned in middle of the fixed tooth discs, and a rubbing gap adjusting mechanism; and the pomace-peel separation mechanism mainly consists of an intake net plate fixed on an intake net plate fixed rod, a lower stopper, a pomace collecting hopper positioned at the lower end of the rubbing device, and a peel collecting hopper arranged in the pomace collecting hopper. The whole device is convenient to use and excellent in separation effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tomato pomace seed skin separating device. Background technique [0002] The by-products of tomato paste processing mainly include tomato pomace, which is composed of tomato seeds and tomato skins. Tomato seeds are a valuable oil resource, while tomato skins are high-quality raw materials for extracting lycopene and dietary fiber. When tomato pomace is further processed , firstly, the tomato pomace needs to be separated from tomato seeds and tomato skins. A common separation method at present is wet separation, which is based on the difference in the physical form and suspension characteristics of tomato seeds and skins in water. The seeds and skins in the skin residue are separated by a specially designed device, and there is a production Low efficiency, large water consumption, high labor intensity, poor working environment, difficult sewage treatment and high cost. In the prior art, there is also a dry separation method ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, this prior art does not involve a specific separation device, and it has the defects of high energy consumption and high cost when performing the tomato seed peel separation process.
