Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of grain processing, specifically relating to a complete set of equipment for processing fresh potatoes into potato flour, a staple food. The potato flour produced by this equipment is different from that produced by potato starch. Background Technology

[0002] The protein content of the three major staple grains is as follows: corn contains 8%-9% protein; rice and wheat contain about 14%-15% protein; and potatoes (dry basis) contain about 3% protein, which is significantly low for staple grains.

[0003] The potato rice formulas in market products are geared towards diabetics, resulting in poor taste and failing to meet the needs of the broader population who consider it a staple food.

[0004] Patents applied for within the past ten years regarding potato processing are incomplete in terms of technology, have not considered environmental issues, have not addressed the issue of sorting and processing rotten soil, have not treated the washing and peeling water as recycled industrial water, have not recycled and reused potato peels which account for about 2% of the potato and contain about 80% of the vitamins and potassium in the whole potato, and have not taken into account the seasoning before packaging.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 The present invention will be further illustrated with specific embodiments.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] See Figure 1 The diagram shows a complete set of equipment for making potato flour from fresh potatoes. The fresh potatoes are first conveyed by a flatbed conveyor to a fresh potato optical recognition sorting machine 1 for sorting. The robotic arm of the fresh potato optical recognition sorting machine 1 separates rotten potatoes from good fresh potatoes. Rotten potatoes are discharged from the rotten potato outlet side of the fresh potato optical recognition sorting machine 1, and then fed to the feed processing unit 11 via the thirteenth conveyor and the first rotten potato inlet side of the feed processing unit to produce known feed, or fed to the small molecule organic water-soluble potato fertilizer processing unit 12 via the fourteenth conveyor and the second rotten potato inlet side of the small molecule organic water-soluble potato fertilizer processing unit to produce one or both of the known small molecule organic water-soluble potato fertilizers.

[0042] Fresh potatoes are fed out from the output side of the fresh potato light recognition sorting machine 1. The fresh potatoes fed out from the output side of the fresh potato light recognition sorting machine 1 are conveyed to the washing and peeling machine 2 via the flat conveyor (the aforementioned first conveyor) and the inlet side of the washing and peeling machine 2. The washing and peeling machine 2 receives the fresh potatoes fed out from the output side of the fresh potato light recognition sorting machine 1 and washes and peels the fresh potatoes.

The dryer 13 dehydrates the wet potato peels at a low temperature of 70°C to form dry potato peels, which are then sent out from the dry potato peel outlet of the dryer 13.

[0044] The dried potato peels from the dry potato peel outlet of dryer 13 are fed into low-temperature puffing machine 7 via the seventh conveyor and the dry potato peel inlet of the known low-temperature puffing machine 7. After being puffed and crushed at a low temperature of 70°C, the puffed potato peels are sent out through the puffed potato peel outlet of low-temperature puffing machine 7.

[0045] The puffed potato peels sent out from the puffed potato peel outlet of the low-temperature puffing machine 7 are then fed into the internal mixer 6 by the screw conveyor (the aforementioned ninth conveyor) and the puffed potato peel inlet of the internal mixer 6 for later use.

[0046] After peeling and washing, the potatoes are sent out of the peeling and washing machine 2. The peeled and washed potatoes sent out of the peeling and washing machine 1 are then conveyed to the crushing and pulping machine 3 via a screw conveyor (the aforementioned second conveyor) and the feed side of the crushing and pulping machine 3. The crushing and pulping machine 3 receives the peeled and washed potatoes sent out of the peeling and washing machine 1 and pulps them to form potato pulp, which is then sent out of the potato pulp outlet of the crushing and pulping machine 3.

[0047] The cleaning water from the potato washing and peeling machine 2 flows into the machine through its clean water inlet, and the clean water flows out through its post-cleaning water outlet.

The low-temperature dryer 7 is a fluidized bed heater, with the low-temperature heating temperature controlled at 120℃ and the low-temperature heating moisture content controlled at 8%. The dried potato starch after low-temperature drying in the low-temperature dryer 7 is discharged from the dried potato starch outlet of the low-temperature dryer 7.

[0053] The dried potato powder delivered from the outlet of the low-temperature dryer 7 is fed into the automatic finished product metering and packaging machine 8 via the screw conveyor (the aforementioned eleventh conveyor) and the dry potato powder inlet of the automatic finished product metering and packaging machine 8 for ton bag packaging. The ton bag-packaged dried potato powder is then sent out from the output side of the packaged dried potato powder of the automatic finished product metering and packaging machine 8.

[0054] The dried potato powder packaged in ton bags from the output side of the finished product automatic metering and packaging machine 8 is fed into the palletizing and warehousing machine 9 by the input side of the packaged and mixed potato powder.

The ton bags of fresh potato flour in the warehouse can be repackaged into smaller packages after leaving the warehouse. Before repackaging, the potatoes can be seasoned with edible seasonings or flavorings, such as spicy, seafood, various meat flavors, and five-spice flavor. If using flavorings, the amount (by weight) of the flavorings should be controlled at 0.02% before repackaging. Before repackaging, potato pellets can also be made using an extrusion granulator.

The conveyor receives the potato flour sent from the potato flour inlet of the low-temperature dryer and dries it at low temperature to form dried potato flour, which is then sent out from the dried potato flour outlet. An automatic metering and packaging machine for finished products has a dry potato starch inlet and a packaged dry potato starch outlet. The dry potato starch inlet of the automatic metering and packaging machine is connected to the dry potato starch outlet of the low-temperature dryer through an eleventh conveyor, which receives and packages the dry potato starch sent out from the dry potato starch outlet of the low-temperature dryer. The packaged dry potato starch is sent out from the packaged dry potato starch outlet of the automatic metering and packaging machine. The conveying and palletizing warehousing linkage machine has a packaged, mixed potato starch input side. The packaged, mixed potato starch input side of the conveying and palletizing warehousing linkage machine is connected to the packaged, mixed potato starch output side of the finished product automatic metering and packaging machine through a twelfth conveyor to stack and store the packaged, mixed potato starch. The intelligent control device is connected to the potato light recognition sorting machine, the washing and peeling linkage machine, the crushing and pulping machine, the potato pulp rotary paddle vacuum dewatering machine, the automatic metering and batching machine for wet soybean flour, the dryer, the low temperature puffing machine, the internal mixer, the automatic metering and packaging machine for finished products, the conveying, palletizing and warehousing linkage machine, and the first to twelfth conveyors to achieve intelligent full-process automatic control.
