Adjustable potato peeling machine

Abstract

The invention discloses an adjustable potato peeling machine, belongs to the field of food processing, and can reduce the loss. The machine comprises a water spray pipe, a hopper, a bottom plate, a bracket and a programmable motor; the bottom plate is circular; four support columns are uniformly arranged on the periphery of the bottom plate; upper frame rings and lower frame rings are fixedly connected to inner parts of top ends of the support columns and to the inner parts near the lower ends of the support columns; a plurality of tension springs connect the upper frame rings and the lower frame rings; a steel wire layer uniformly covers and winds around the inner side of each tension spring; the extension section of the motor shaft of the programmable motor is connected to a plurality of frame rods; the outer ends of the frame rods are jointly and fixedly connected to the inner wall of a rotating drum in an inverted U-shaped shape; a coating layer covers and is connected to the whole outer wall surface of the rotating drum; the hopper and the water spray pipe are arranged above the upper frame rings; and a material receiving dustpan which extends downwards and outwards is arranged at the inner side of the lower frame rings and below the lower edge of the rotating drum. The design is applicable to the processing places of edible potatoes.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is related to food machinery, specifically refers to a professional processing machine for removing the potato skin, specifically, mainly refers to an adjustable potato peeling machine that only removes the outer skin layer of potatoes without damaging the fleshy pulp under the skin. machine. Background technique [0002] Potatoes, as an agricultural product with wide adaptability and huge yield, are popular because of their rich nutrition and various production patterns. However, potatoes must be peeled during the process of processing raw materials into food, and the operation difficulty of the peeling process is in a long period of time. There is no good solution during the period, the main reason is that the shape of potatoes is not regular, or round or oblong or segmented, and there are many shapes. In addition, the surface is also uneven. Generally, it is removed by hand with a scraper. In places with a large processing vol...

[0002] Potatoes, as an agricultural product with wide adaptability and huge yield, are popular because of their rich nutrition and various production patterns. However, potatoes must be peeled during the process of processing raw materials into food, and the operation difficulty of the peeling process is in a long period of time. There is no good solution during the period, the main reason is that the shape of potatoes is not regular, or round or oblong or segmented, and there are many shapes. In addition, the surface is also uneven. Generally, it is removed by hand with a scraper. In places with a large processing volume, such as canteens, it is not suitable to use manual peeling because of the low work efficiency. To solve this problem, a drum-type electric potato peeler has appeared in recent years. The high-speed rotation of the runner set at the bottom of the drum drives the potatoes to rub against the inner wall of the drum to peel the potatoes. The inner wall of the drum is coated with a layer of emery coating, which is peeled by collision friction; there is also a shaft-roller type, which uses multiple sets of belts to peel the potatoes. The rollers of the hard brush are rotated at high speed in turn and polished to peel off the skin

The above two are the most common potato peeling machines, but they both have a fly in the ointment: while peeling off the potato skin, they also take away more subcutaneous meat pulp. The actual weighing inspection will find that: peeled The weight of potatoes before and after processing is reduced by 10-15 / 100, that is, about 1 / 7 of the potatoes are lost due to peeling and processing. In fact, according to different potato varieties, in relatively humid conditions, the potatoes are pure The thickness of the outer skin is 0.12-0.15mm, and the weight only accounts for about 3 / 100 of the gross weight of the potato. In order to remove the unsuitable outer skin, about 10 / 100 of the potato meat has to be lost. The processed smooth peeled Potatoes look good at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that the fleshy flesh under the skin is entrained with the skin, leaving a series of grooves and scars. The total thickness of the peeled potato skin and fleshy flesh is not less than 2-2.5mm , in fact the waste is not to be underestimated
