Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food thawing machine technology, specifically a conveyor belt cleaning mechanism for a food thawing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Current defrosting machines offer advantages such as energy saving, high automation, and stable performance, making them widely used for defrosting strip-shaped, block-shaped, or granular foods, such as shrimp, fish, fish fillets, cut meat, and chicken pieces. However, after food is conveyed by the conveyor belt in existing defrosting machines, food residue, grease, and dirt remain on the belt. Because the conveyor belt is used repeatedly, the residue easily adheres to the food to be defrosted next time. Furthermore, existing cleaning mechanisms suffer from incomplete and uneven cleaning coverage, numerous blind spots, unsatisfactory cleaning results, and significant splattering, all of which affect production efficiency and food safety.
