Title:
CENTRIFUGAL DEHYDRATOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH01148353
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To continuously dehydrate and discharge a material to be dehydrated such as green leaves of tea quantitatively introduced into a dehydration tank without stagnation therein by forming the dehydration tank into a truncated cone shape and forming at least the side face of the dehydration tank into a plex body. CONSTITUTION:In the case of rotating a shaft 9 with a motor 12 via a belt 11, both frame body 13 and dehydration tank 15 are rotated. In this state, when a material 20 to be dehydrated such as green leaves of tea after washing is quantitatively introduced from an introduction port 18 provided to the central part of a cover 17, the material 20 to be treated reaches the bottom part of the tank. It is successively moved upward along the inner side face of the tank with centrifugal force generated by the rotational motion of the dehydration tank 15 and water stuck on the material 20 to be dehydrated is scattered into the frame body 13 through the plex body 16 forming the side face of the tank 15 in the process of this movement and drawn out to a bulkhead tank 4 through small holes 14 of the frame body 13. On the other hand, dehydrated material 21 successively reaches the upper edge of the tank 15 and falls to a passage 5 and is introduced into a discharge port 19 according to an air flow generated by the rotation of the frame body 13.
