Air dryer for drying residual moisture of washed fruits and vegetables

Abstract

The invention relates to an air dryer for drying residual moisture of washed fruits and vegetables. The air dryer comprises a controller, fans, a dryer support, a conveying chain plate belt arranged on the dryer support, and a drive mechanism for driving the conveying chain plate belt to run, wherein the dryer support and the conveying chain plate belt are made of SUS304 stainless steel; the conveying chain plate belt is erected in the middle of the dryer support; a conveying working surface of the conveying chain plate belt is exposed to air; the multiple fans are arranged and are sequentially fixed onto the dryer support in the direction for conveying the fruits and vegetables through the conveying chain plate belt; air outlets of the fans are formed in the upper part of the dryer support and communicate with air knives with downward openings through pipelines; the opening surfaces of the air knives face the conveying working surface of the conveying chain plate belt; and the drive mechanism is fixedly arranged on the end part of the conveying chain plate belt and is connected with the controller. According to the air dryer provided by the invention, no cleaning dead angles are left, and bacteria cannot be germinated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an air-drying device used in the field of food processing, which is used for air-drying the residual water after cleaning fruit and vegetable products. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of living standards, people's requirements for food tend to be more clean and hygienic. Therefore, whether it is directly packaged for sale or when fruit and vegetable products are used as raw materials for food processing, it is necessary to rinse with water first to ensure cleanliness. After rinsing, a large amount of water will remain on the product, and it needs to be dried before subsequent operations. [0003] If the residual moisture is heated and dried, it may affect the quality of the product due to high temperature. At present, there are usually three ways of drying, natural drying, manual erasing, or air-drying equipment. It takes a lot of time to dry naturally, and sometimes it is easily deteriorated by the weathe...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] (1) Both the air-drying mechanism and the conveying mechanism are located in a closed box, which is inconvenient to disassemble, clean and clean. There are dead corners for hygiene, and bacteria are easy to breed, so that the processed fruits and vegetables cannot meet the hygienic requirements

[0006] (2) It takes a long time to disassemble and assemble the air-drying equipment when cleaning the whole machine, which is inconvenient to operate and wastes time, manpower and material resources
