Inventors: Dimov, Peter S.; Pavlov, Georgi N.; Stoyanov, Atanas N.; Nankinov, Ivan D.;
Assignee: DSO "Bulgarplod" (Sofia, BG)
Primary Examiner: Coe; Philip R.
Assistant Examiner: Simone; Timothy F.
Attorney, Agent or Firm:
Apparatus for continuously processing produce such as fruits and vegetables. The produce is heated by being fed into a pipe coil immersed in hot water and is sucked from the coil by vacuum into an expansion chamber where it is subjected to cold water which then travels with the treated produce under the influence of the vacuum. The cold water traveling with the treated produce is thereafter separated from the produce and is returned to the cold water source. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
Apparatus for treating produce such as fruits and vegetables, comprising a pipe having an inlet end immersed in a hot water tank, a perforated receiver connected to said inlet end of the pipe to receive produce to be treated and hot water from the tank, an expansion chamber connected to the outlet end of the tank, a pipeline connected to said expansion chamber, a source of vacuum connected to said pipeline, said pipeline receives and forwards treated produce under the influence of vacuum from said expansion chamber, means to separate hot water from the produce in said expansion chamber, and means to subject the treated produce to cold water as the produce travels away from said expansion chamber.
2.
The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein treated produce and hot water travel into the expansion chamber, and comprising means for separating such hot water from the treated produce received in the expansion chamber.
3.
The apparatus according to claim 1, comprising means for separating from the produce the cold water to which the produce is treated as it travels away from the expansion chamber.
4.
The apparatus according to claim 3, comprising means to recirculate the cold water separated from the treated produce by reintroducing it into the expansion chamber.
Description:
This invention relates to an apparatus for the processing of fruits and vegetables, such processing including tomato peeling, apple canning, juice de-airation, etc.
A known device for the processing of vegetables comprises a water bath in which there is disposed a vertical shaft with a cone fitted to it.
On the external surface of the cone a second cone is mounted on the internal surface of which there is fitted a spiral member forming a helical slot for the processing of fruits and vegetables.
The outer cone is lined with rubber or abrasives.
To the upper fillet of the helical slot there is connected a pipeline for feeding water or air between the spiral and the abrasive surface
