DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The specific embodiments of the present application are further described below by comparing the drawings and the description of the embodiments, the purpose being to help the skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present application, and to help the implementation.

[0020] Figure 1 is a structure schematic view of the shell tree nut product cleaning structure in the embodiment of the utility model.

[0021] As Figure 1 shown, the shell tree nut product cleaning structure provided by the utility model includes a multistage cleaning unit 10 and a nut green removing machine 20, the nut green removing machine 20 is connected with the multistage cleaning unit 10, the multistage cleaning unit 10 is adapted to the production process of the macadamia nut and the shelled nut, multiple cleaning is performed in the production process of the macadamia nut and the shelled nut, sawdust, powder dust and residual fruit pulp adhered to the surface of the macadamia nut and the shelled nut are reduced, the cleaning effect is improved, the product quality of the macadamia nut and the shelled nut product is improved, the complaint rate is reduced, and the product sales are improved.

[0022] The multi-stage cleaning unit 10 comprises a spoke hopper vibrating screen 11 connected with the outlet of the nut blancher 20. The nut blancher 20 can blanch (i.e. heat treat) the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts, stop the growth and fermentation of the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts by heating, maintain the flavor and nutritional ingredients of the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts, and remove the moisture on the surface of the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts to prolong the shelf life. Since the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts are physically notched before entering the nut blancher 20, the notches cause sawdust and powder to enter the nut blancher 20 with the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts. The spoke hopper vibrating screen 11 can vibrate the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts treated by the nut blancher 20 to remove part of the sawdust and powder, and clean the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts for the first time.

[0023] The spoke hopper vibrating screen 11 is connected with a roller constant temperature hot air furnace 30. The multi-stage cleaning unit 10 further comprises a bag-type negative pressure dust collector 12 connected with the roller constant temperature hot air furnace 30. The roller constant temperature hot air furnace 30 is connected with a flavoring machine 40. The flavoring machine 40 can uniformly penetrate the flavoring agent into the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts to improve the flavor and taste of the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts. The bag-type negative pressure dust collector 12 and the roller constant temperature hot air furnace 30 can further remove the sawdust and powder, and clean the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts for the second time before entering the flavoring machine 40.

[0024] The multi-stage cleaning unit 10 further comprises a round-hole conical vibrating screen 13 connected with the outlet of the flavoring machine 40 and a multi-point spraying cleaner 14 arranged on the round-hole conical vibrating screen 13. The round-hole conical vibrating screen 13 and the multi-point spraying cleaner 14 can clean the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts for the third time after being treated by the flavoring machine 40, so as to effectively remove the sawdust and powder generated by the physical notching, remove the powder and foam generated again during the floating and soaking process of the flavoring process, and especially ensure that the taste of the material after flavoring does not deteriorate, including uneven flavoring, inconsistent food additive content, and material gully residual cleaning water, etc.

[0025] The cleaning structure of the shelled tree nut product provided by the utility model also comprises a spiral elevator 50 and a static storage tank 60, the inlet of the spiral elevator 50 is connected with the outlet of the round-hole conical vibrating screen 13, the outlet of the spiral elevator 50 is connected with the static storage tank 60, the material cylinder in the spiral elevator 50 is provided with a draining hole, the spiral elevator 50 can transport the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts after three times of cleaning to the static storage tank 60 for storage, the draining hole can conveniently drain the water on the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts, and the multi-stage cleaning unit 10 also comprises a heat dissipation and dehumidification fan 15, the heat dissipation and dehumidification fan 15 is arranged at the outlet of the spiral elevator 50 and can further dehumidify the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts, thereby ensuring the dryness of the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts.

[0026] In the cleaning structure of the shelled tree nut product, the three times of cleaning are based on the system engineering that the materials are coupled together in different processing stages and processing sections, the first cleaning is to remove sawdust and powder dust with large particles; the second cleaning is to remove small particle sawdust and powder dust separated by the constant-temperature hot air furnace and to maintain the constant-temperature taste and the hot air time and temperature of the whole hot processing of the product; the third cleaning is to remove powder dust and floating foam generated again in the floating and soaking process of the taste-adding section, especially to ensure that the material taste of the material after taste-adding is not deteriorated, including the non-uniform taste-adding, the inconsistent food additive content and the cleaning of the material gully residual cleaning water; finally, the heat dissipation and dehumidification fan 15 performs auxiliary cleaning, the adjustable heat dissipation and dehumidification fan and the adjustment of the physical transmission of the material are adopted according to the material characteristics, and consolidation, correction and appropriate adjustment are performed.

[0027] Effects of the embodiment

[0028] The cleaning structure of the shelled tree nut product comprises a multi-stage cleaning unit 10 and a nut killing machine 20, the nut killing machine 20 is connected with the multi-stage cleaning unit 10, the multi-stage cleaning unit 10 is adapted to the production process of the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts, the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts are cleaned for multiple times in the production process, the dirt, adhered sawdust, powder dust and residual fruit pulp on the surface of the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts are reduced, the cleaning effect is improved, the product quality of the macadamia nuts and shelled nuts is improved, the complaint rate is reduced, and the product sales are improved.
