Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a frozen chicken breast cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken breast is a healthy, low-fat, high-protein food, favored for its ease of cooking and versatility in preparation. During processing, transportation, and storage, frozen chicken may carry various microorganisms on its surface, including common bacteria such as Salmonella and Campylobacter jejuni. While freezing inhibits the growth of some microorganisms, it doesn't completely kill them. After thawing, these microorganisms may reactivate and multiply as temperatures rise. Washing with running water can significantly reduce the number of bacteria on the surface, lowering food safety risks. Furthermore, proper washing not only removes these residues but also creates favorable conditions for subsequent marinating. A clean chicken breast surface absorbs marinade more easily, allowing the seasonings to penetrate the muscle tissue more effectively.

[0003] After washing, frozen chicken breasts need to be drained of surface moisture. How to achieve this effective drainage using appropriate equipment is a technical problem that needs to be solved. To address this, we have proposed a frozen chicken breast washing machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a frozen chicken breast cleaning machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a frozen chicken breast cleaning machine, comprising a cleaning tank, a discharge lifting belt, and a conveying and draining device. One end of the discharge lifting belt is located in the cleaning tank, and the other end of the discharge lifting belt is located above the conveying and draining device. The conveying and draining device includes a frame, with a plurality of conveying rollers provided on the frame. A brush roller plate is provided below the conveying rollers, and a plurality of pointed protrusions are provided on the brush roller plate. Brush bristles are provided on both sides of each protrusion. A water guide hole is opened between two adjacent protrusions. The conveying roller is located between two adjacent protrusions. Water at the conveying roller is guided to the protrusions by the brush bristles and flows into the water guide hole along the protrusions.

[0006] To elaborate further, a water receiving hopper is provided below the frame, and a return pipe is provided on one side of the water receiving hopper, which is connected to the cleaning water tank.

[0007] To elaborate further, the inner wall of the water receiving hopper is provided with several support blocks for supporting the brush roller plate.

[0008] To elaborate further, both sides of the brush roller plate are provided with U-shaped slots for removing it from the water receiving hopper.

[0009] To elaborate further, the conveying roller has a flow guide groove on its surface.

[0010] To elaborate further, a mounting bracket for a dryer is provided above the conveyor roller.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model adopts a structural design that combines a brush roller plate and a conveyor roller. When the conveyor roller rotates, the moisture on the surface of the chicken breast is also carried away by the conveyor roller. The brush bristles below the conveyor roller carry away the moisture at the conveyor roller. The moisture is then guided by the brush bristles to the raised belt and flows into the water guide hole along the raised belt. Thus, the surface moisture of the chicken breast can be removed while it is being conveyed, effectively achieving the drying of the surface moisture of the chicken breast after washing, and significantly improving efficiency.
