Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum impregnation machines, in particular to a vacuum impregnation machine for processing dried fruits for anti-oxidation. Background Art

[0002] Dried fruit refers to food made by drying and dehydrating fresh fruit. During this process, most of the water in the fruit is removed, while nutrients such as sugar, protein, fat, various minerals, dietary fiber, some antioxidants and vitamins are concentrated. Dried fruit is different from preserved fruit. Dried fruit is usually not added with sugar, salt, preservatives, oil or other ingredients during the processing, so it is closer to the natural state of the fruit. During the processing of dried fruit, a vacuum impregnation machine is required to quickly penetrate the impregnation liquid into the dried fruit for antioxidant processing.

[0003] The density of existing dried fruit raw materials such as apples, oranges, pears and cherry tomatoes is lower than the density of water, which results in some dried fruits not being able to be completely immersed in the more viscous soaking liquid, thereby reducing the effect of the dried fruit soaking process. At the same time, the dried fruits usually stick together during the soaking process, which makes it difficult to quickly remove the clumped fruits from the inside of the device, thereby reducing the soaking speed. Utility Model Content

[0024] The impregnation mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 41, and a disc 42 is sleeved on both sides of the rotating shaft 41. Pressure plates 43 are evenly distributed on the outside of the rotating shaft 41. The outside of the impregnation box 1 can be equipped with a heater, and then the dried fruit can be heated and processed.
