Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of watermelon seed kernel production and processing equipment, specifically a raw material impurity removal device for watermelon seed kernel production and processing. Background Technology
[0002] The production and processing of watermelon seed kernels mainly includes the following steps: First, the seeds are extracted from the watermelon and washed to remove impurities and pulp residue, ensuring the seeds are clean. Next, depending on processing requirements, different processing methods can be chosen, such as sugar-salt watermelon seeds, oil-fried watermelon seeds, soy sauce-fried watermelon seeds, or salt-roasted watermelon seeds. These processing methods mainly involve roasting or boiling, adding appropriate seasonings such as salt, saccharin, soy sauce, cooked oil, fennel, and cinnamon to flavor the watermelon seeds. After roasting or boiling, the seeds are dried to ensure they are dry and easy to store. Finally, after screening and packaging, the delicious watermelon seed kernel product is obtained.
[0003] In the production and processing of watermelon seed kernels, impurity removal is a crucial step. The presence of impurities not only affects product quality but can also interfere with subsequent processing. Therefore, employing an effective impurity removal device is essential. Currently, the most commonly used impurity removal device is a sieve frame, which separates impurities through vibration. This method utilizes the density, size, and other characteristics of different substances to separate watermelon seed kernels from impurities. However, relying solely on a sieve frame cannot completely remove all impurities. First, some lightweight impurities, such as small stones, leaves, or other plant residues, may mix with the watermelon seed kernels, and the sieve's effectiveness in removing these impurities is relatively limited. Second, during the vibration process of the sieve frame, some fine impurities may become trapped within the watermelon seed kernels, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Utility Model Content
