Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a red pepper powder manufacturing system, and more specifically, to a red pepper powder manufacturing system implemented to simultaneously classify and manufacture various types of red pepper powder with different particle sizes. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, a chili grinder is equipped with an input hopper at the top into which chili peppers and pre-ground chili powder are fed, and at the bottom of the input hopper, a grinding roller is provided to rotate in engagement with the fed chili peppers and pre-ground chili powder to grind them, and at the bottom of the grinding roller, a discharge means is provided to discharge the ground chili powder to the outside of the chili grinder.

[0004] A drive motor for driving the crushing roller is provided on one side of the crushing roller and is configured to rotate the crushing roller by means of a predetermined chain.

[0005] Meanwhile, conventional technology requires performing grinding operations multiple times individually to classify chili powder by particle size, which increases the time required for the process and reduces work efficiency.

[0006] In addition, since it is necessary to perform a process to remove all the chili powder after performing the process once and then perform a process to manufacture other particles, there was also a disadvantage that a large amount of labor was required.

[0007] Meanwhile, the aforementioned background technology is technical information that the inventor possessed for the derivation of the present invention or acquired during the process of deriving the present invention, and it cannot necessarily be considered publicly known technology disclosed to the general public prior to the filing of the present invention.
