Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a food processing machine, specifically a cleaning and drying system for a supermarket food processing machine for near-expiry or expired food. Background Technology

[0002] During supermarket operations, a large amount of near-expiry and expired food products are generated. These products need to be centrally processed to prevent them from entering the market and causing food safety hazards. Currently, near-expiry and expired food products in supermarkets are usually processed through food processing machines, such as crushing and compressing, to render them harmless. However, the hopper of the food processing machine, as the core component for food input and temporary storage, is prone to leaving food residues, grease, and other contaminants during the processing.

[0003] Current food processors primarily rely on manual rinsing for cleaning, which is not only inefficient but also incomplete. Residual food scraps can easily breed bacteria and produce odors, affecting the hygiene of subsequently processed food and potentially causing blockages in the equipment's pipelines. Furthermore, water tends to accumulate in the hoppers after manual cleaning; if not dried promptly, this further exacerbates the risk of bacterial growth, posing significant challenges to equipment maintenance and food safety. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system that can automatically clean and efficiently dry the hoppers of existing food processors to solve these cleaning and maintenance problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning and drying system for a supermarket food processing machine that handles near-expiry or expired food, thereby achieving automated, all-around cleaning and rapid drying of the hopper, improving equipment cleanliness and maintenance efficiency.
