Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tumbling machines, and more particularly to a vacuum tumbling machine for food. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum tumblers are key processing equipment used by food manufacturers to produce meat products and low-temperature ham. Their purpose is to mix tenderized raw meat with auxiliary materials and additives under vacuum conditions through tumbling, pressing, and marinating (note: meat expands under vacuum). This allows the proteins in the tenderized raw meat to fully contact with the brine, accelerating protein dissolution and interaction, increasing the adhesion between meat pieces, and also improving the color, tenderness, and water retention of the meat, thus enhancing its overall quality.
[0003] However, in actual use, existing vacuum tumblers mix food materials using an internal stirring rod. This mixing method can result in uneven mixing of the food materials, which affects the taste of the food. Utility Model Content

[0005] A vacuum tumbler for food processing includes a base frame. Two sets of support plates are mounted on the top of the base frame, and a tumbling drum is positioned between the two sets of support plates. A feeding hopper, cooperating with the tumbling drum, is mounted on the top of the two sets of support plates. The feeding hopper has a feed inlet on its top and a dispersing device inside. A sealing door is mounted on the top of the tumbling drum, and a discharge outlet is located at the bottom of the feeding hopper, directly opposite the sealing door. A drive device for rotating the tumbling drum is mounted on one side of one set of support plates. A stirring shaft and a U-shaped scraper are respectively mounted inside the tumbling drum. A rotary motor is mounted on one side of the other set of support plates. Both the stirring shaft and the scraper are connected to the drive end of the rotary motor.
[0006] In one embodiment of this utility model, the scraper is in close contact with the inner wall of the tumbling drum, and a valve is provided on one side of the tumbling drum, with the valve connected to a vacuum pumping device.
[0007] In one embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of stirring blades are provided on the outer side of the stirring shaft.
[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the driving device includes a starter motor and a rotating disk. The rotating disk is installed on the inner side of the support plate and connected to the tumbling drum. The starter motor is installed on the inner side of the support plate and its driving end passes through the support plate and is connected to the rotating disk.
[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dispersing device includes a dispersing motor and a spiral dispersing blade. The dispersing motor is installed on the top of the feed hopper and its drive end is connected to the dispersing blade. The feed inlet is located on one side of the dispersing motor.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the vacuum tumbler for food provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] This invention relates to a vacuum tumbler for food processing, which incorporates a feeding hopper and a dispersing device. Food and auxiliary materials are pre-dispersed before entering the tumbler drum, facilitating subsequent tumbling operations and preventing meat products from sticking together. A scraper, rotating in the opposite direction to the tumbler drum, scrapes off any processed products adhering to the inner wall, preventing insufficient tumbling caused by meat products remaining stuck to the drum wall. The stirring shaft, rotating in the opposite direction to the tumbler drum, further enhances the tumbling effect. Attached Figure Description

[0017] See Figure 1-2A vacuum tumbler for food processing includes a base frame 1 for supporting the tumbler. Two sets of support plates 2 are mounted on the top of the base frame 1, and a tumbling drum 3 is positioned between the two sets of support plates 2. The support plates 2 are used to mount the tumbling drum 3, allowing it to rotate between the support plates 2. The tumbling drum 3 is used to tumble food and auxiliary materials. A feeding chamber 4, which cooperates with the tumbling drum 3, is mounted on the top of the two sets of support plates 2. The feeding chamber 4 has a feeding inlet 5 on its top and a dispersing device 6 inside. A sealing door 7 is mounted on the top of the tumbling drum 3, and a discharge outlet 8 is located at the bottom of the feeding chamber 4, directly opposite the sealing door 7. The feeding chamber 4 uses the internal dispersing device 6 to disperse the food and auxiliary materials to be added before adding them into the tumbling drum 3 for tumbling. One side of one set of support plates 2 is equipped with a drive device for rotating the tumbling drum 3. Inside the tumbling drum 3, a stirring shaft 9 and a U-shaped scraper 10 are respectively installed. Another set of support plates 2 is equipped with a rotary motor 11. Both the stirring shaft 9 and the scraper 10 are connected to the drive end of the rotary motor 11. The stirring shaft 9 is used to stir the food and auxiliary materials, and the scraper 10 is used to scrape off the processed products adhering to the inner wall of the tumbling drum 3. The rotary motor 11 and the tumbling drum 3 rotate in opposite directions.
[0018] In one embodiment of this utility model, the scraper 10 is in close contact with the inner wall of the tumbling drum 3, and a valve 12 is provided on one side of the tumbling drum 3, with a vacuum extraction device connected to the valve 12.
