Title:
密封カプセルにおける乾燥葉のパッケージング
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6395705
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The system includes a machine for breaking dried leaves. The machine comprises an inlet for supplying the dried leaves, an outlet for releasing the broken leaves, and breaker devices including a first breaker member (6) and a second breaker member (8) removed relative to the first breaker member. The first and second breaker members bend the dried leaves until the leaves break. The machine further includes a neutral gas source configured to feed the environment in the machine in order to avoid an oxidation of the leaves at the time of braking until its insertion in a sealed capsule. The system includes a machine for breaking dried leaves. The machine comprises an inlet for supplying the dried leaves, an outlet for releasing the broken leaves, and three breaker devices including a first breaker member (6) and a second breaker member (8) removed relative to the first breaker member. The first and second breaker members bend the dried leaves until the leaves break. The machine further includes a neutral gas source configured to feed the environment in the machine in order to avoid an oxidation of the leaves at the time of braking until its insertion in a sealed capsule. The three breakers devices of different size are configured for breaking the dried leaves. The breaker devices are mounted one on the other in a direction of a force of gravity. The first breaker device is removable and includes rotatable rollers (16a-16c). The rollers include active lines with an upper surface interrupted by cavities, and are configured to take delivery of the leaves. The active lines are separated by grooves surrounding the rollers. The cavities have radial surfaces formed with the upper surface, and side surfaces formed with the radial surfaces. Depths of the cavities compared to the upper surface and/or widths of the cavities and widths of the grooves are different from one breaker device to the other breaker devices. The widths of the cavities and the grooves of the removable breaker device located downstream are smaller than that of the removable breaker device located upstream. The rollers are pulled by drive systems (26a-26c) controlled to independently vary a speed of each roller of the machine. The second breaker device includes a wall breaker including teeth inserted in the grooves and tooth space parts arranged above the upper surface and spaced from the upper surface by a controlled manner. An angle of the wall breaker compared to an orthogonal plane on a surface of the first breaker device is 50-60[deg] . The teeth include a leading edge with a convex form. The leading edge has a V-shape with an angle of 80-160[deg] . The static breaker device is fixed at an entry guide in a form of funnel to guide the broken leaves on the surface of the removable breaker device. An independent claim is included for a method for packaging dried leaves of plants in a sealed capsule.
