DE381983C - Device for desalination of food and feed - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a device for desalination of food and feed, which is intended in particular for the desalination of fish. In it the food is in one with agitator and Treated container provided with water supply and drainage. The soft, easily destructible one The meat of the fish requires very careful handling. Furthermore, such

ίο devices are particularly easy to assemble, easy to handle and at the same time extremely robust because they mostly used by inexperienced people.

There are already pivotable containers such. B. Extraction vessels, known to be used for the purpose Let the emptying tilt more easily. Extraction systems are also already known Agitators that are started and stopped by means of a clutch can.

The present device consists of a known manner to its horizontal Axis swiveling container, the agitator shaft opposite the fixed Drive shaft can be pivoted with the aid of a detachable coupling.

This makes it possible to arrange the drive on a fixed console and still to pivot the container for the purpose of emptying in the simplest possible way.

Furthermore, in order to be able to regulate the water drainage easily and simply during desalination, a siphon pipe leading upwards is expediently connected to the discharge nozzle, whose drainage opening is adjustable in height. The setting can be easily done with cause the greatest possible accuracy while

a blockage of the drain, which can easily occur when using taps and valves, is not to be feared. In the drawing, the subject matter of the invention is shown for example. Fig. 1 is a vertical section along line A-B of Fig. 3, Fig. 2 is a side view and Fig. 3 is a plan view. The device consists of a container a, which expediently has the shape of a standing cylinder. The container has lateral pins b with which it rests in support bearings c, and can be pivoted in a known manner about the pin b with the aid of the hand lever d. The lower end of the lever d is provided with a fork e and this with an adjusting screw f. The fork c comprises an adjusting ring g on which the screw / acts. When the container a has been pivoted around its pin b with the aid of the hand lever d, it can be held in any inclined position with the aid of the adjusting screw / and the adjusting ring g. At the bottom of the container there is a bearing h which receives the lower journal of a shaft i with agitator blades k. The top of the shaft; ' is set off at / and is here surrounded by the fork-shaped part m of a conaxially extending wave ". A pin 0 is used to connect the two shafts / and n. At the upper end of the shaft η sits on a fixed bracket a bevel gear p, which is driven by a bevel gear q located on a transmission shaft r. The transmission shaft is driven by a motor or other suitable power plant. A water supply line s is provided above the container α, and a water drainage line t is provided at the lower end. Above the water drain t there is a removable sieve bottom u, which holds back the material so that it cannot get into the water drain. An upward siphon pipe ν is connected to the water discharge t. The siphon pipe can, for. B. consist of a rubber hose, a flexible metal pipe or an extendable and hinged rigid pipe. A number of rods w are arranged to support the tube ν. These rods make it possible to place the muzzle χ higher or lower. Of course, any other setting device can also be used. The arrangement and adjustability of the Hel.errohres have the purpose of being able to regulate the effective height of the water column at the outlet. The higher the opening χ is placed, the lower the pressure acting at the outflow point, the outflow velocity and the total pressure of the water and the material to be treated on the sieve plate 11. The mode of operation of the device is as follows. After the container has been brought into the position shown in Fig. 1, it is filled with the material to be treated and water is then supplied by opening the line s. As soon as the water has filled the remaining cavities and has risen to about the edge, the shaft / is set in motion with the agitator blades k. With leaching of the material, the salty water flows through the drain t and the pipe r through the mouth χ. It can be observed that initially a cloudy and very salty liquid flows off, which gradually clears. Just by looking at the color of the running water you can roughly tell when the desalination has reached the desired level. As soon as this time has come, you first turn off the agitator and then the water supply and let the water in the container run off completely. You now loosen the pin 0, pivot the container α with the help of the lever d and set it in the desired position by means of the screw / so that the goods can be easily removed. After the container has been emptied, the shaft i and the sieve bottom u are taken out 1 for cleaning and put back in place before the start of the new operation. Godfather ν τ-An Proverbs: 1. Device for desalination of food and feed, in particular fish, in which the food is treated in a container which is provided with an agitator and water inlet and outlet and can be pivoted about its horizontal axis, characterized by a pivoting of the agitator shaft (i) relative to the fixed drive shaft («) enabling releasable coupling (I, wi). "O 2. Embodiment of the device according to claim 1, characterized in that an upwardly leading siphon pipe (v) is connected to the water drain Ci), the drain opening (x) is adjustable in height. 1 sheet of drawings.
