Abstract:
The present invention discloses an automatic apparatus for salting cabbage by brine circulation, the apparatus which has a device for salting the cabbage in a salting chamber by repeating supplying and draining the brine, the device is mounted on a trailer to produce salted cabbages while moving according to local producer through the year. According to the present invention, transportation costs can be cut by salting the cabbage in the local producer and sending the salted cabbage to kimchi producing factories or markets in the consumption area and manufacturing costs can be drastically lowered by reusing the brine. Besides, the volume of cabbage transportation is reduced and environmental pollution due to the cabbage waste can be radically solved by producing the salted cabbage while moving.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus for making pickled Chinese cabbage is provided to speed up the process of pickling cabbage by using brine properties convert device such as to make salt water. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for making picked Chinese cabbage comprises; a turbulence flow unit which salt water pass through more than ten times, a salt water passing pipe(1) which is connected to the turbulence flow unit and a tank(2) for storing salt water from the turbulence flow unit. The turbulence flow unit comprises a main body(11) and several turbulence flows(12) which are equipped in the main body at the same distance. The both ends of the turbulence flow unit are connected to the salt water passing pipe. A high pressure multistage pump(13) is equipped in the salt water passing pipe next to the turbulence flow. A salt water storing tank(20) is equipped in the pump behind the high pressure multistage pump. A brine pump is equipped in the salt water passing pipe which connects the part of the tank to a unit for making salt water. An exhaust pipe(4) for salt water is equipped in the upper part of the unit for making salt water and the other end of the pipe is connected to the tank so that the stored salt water moves out to the unit for making salt water. The upper part of the tank comprises a level sensor for high water(21) and the lower part of the tank comprises a level sensor for low water(22). A salt water purifying unit comprises a sieve screen(42) and a filter tank(43). The lower part of the tank is connected to a salt water exhaust pipe which resupply purified salt water to the salt water storing tank by the first connection pipe(401). A pressure pump(44), a nano membrane(45) and a carbon filter(46) are equipped in the way the salt water exhaust pipe lies along with the first connection pipe.
