Production of cranberries in sugar on a production line is as follows.

The cranberries are delivered to the shop in barrels, from which the top bottom is opened. With the help of the barrel tipper 1, the barrels are lifted and the cranberries are gradually unloaded onto the vibrating feeder 2 - a tray with a hopper, fixed by brackets to a movable frame, resting on four articulated rods, which are attached at one end to a movable frame and the other to a fixed frame.

The movable frame is connected to the eccentric of the main shaft by an articulated rod. When the main shaft rotates, the vibrating feeder makes a reciprocating motion. The shaft is driven through a V-belt transmission from a gearbox and an electric motor.

The vibrating feeder is designed for continuous and uniform feeding of cranberries into the buckets of the self-haul truck 3, which transfer it to the sorting machine.

The bottom of the vibrating feeder is perforated, so the water flows from the cranberries and is removed through the drain. Small debris and other foreign objects are separated using a mesh tray at the end of the vibratory feeder.

In perforated buckets of self-haulage 3, cranberries from the vibrating feeder are supplied in doses of 2.5-3 kg / min. The amount of cranberries supplied to the self-haul buckets is regulated by changing the eccentric value and the size of the slot created by the end perforated flap.

Self-haul capacity 100-150 kg / h. With the help of a self-haul cranberry is fed into the funnel of the sorting and washing machine 4, which is a rotating mesh drum made of wire.

It is mounted on a frame. Its axis is inclined to the horizon at an angle of 120 °. Wire material - stainless steel. Above the drum there is a pipe with holes, from which water is continuously supplied.

When moving along the inner surface of the drum, the cranberries are washed, separated from the waste and fed into the buckets of the elevator by the feeder 5. The elevator productivity is 100-200 kg / h, the belt speed is 7 m / min, the bucket pitch is 150 m, the bucket capacity is 200 g. is carried out from the inspection conveyor 9. Noriei transfers the cranberries to the second floor of the workshop to the slotted feeder bunker 8 of the inspection conveyor 9.

Waste cranberries, washed in a drum, fed to an inclined perforated drum, are separated from the water, enter the barrel and removed on a lifting cart. From the washed cranberry waste, cranberry puree and podvarki are prepared. The productivity of the sorting and washing machine is 100-200 kg / h.

The cranberries that entered the slot feeder bunker are evenly scattered on the inspection conveyor belt 9. At the end part of the slot feeder there is a valve, with the help of which the supply of cranberries is regulated by a layer of a certain thickness. The final inspection of the cranberries is done manually on an inspection conveyor. Its productivity is 300 kg / h, belt speed is 1.5 m / min.

The sorted cranberries are dosed in a continuous flow into a tinting drum, in which a thin layer of starch paste is applied to the surface of the cranberries. The drum rotates at 5 rpm. The drum is supported by rollers rotating in ball bearings around a fixed axis.

Coils are welded to the inner surface of the drum to ensure uniform advance of the cranberries in the drum. At the end on the surface of the drum there are holes with a diameter of 5.5 mm to remove excess paste.

Starch paste is dosed into tinting drum 12 by a gear pump (miniature) from a heated hopper 11. For 1 minute 1.2 kg of cranberries and 50-55 g of paste are fed into the tinting drum.

In the tinting drum, the cranberries and paste are moved between the turns as they rotate. In the process of rolling, cranberries are enveloped in an even thin layer of starch paste with a temperature of 50-60 ° C and a dry matter content of 15-18%.

To prevent thickening of the paste and create a uniform and thin shell on the surface of the cranberry, starch syrup is added to it in an amount of 20-30%. Drum productivity 60-70 kg / h.

Cranberries in a continuous flow with an applied layer of starch paste through an inclined transition tray enters the conveyor 10, on the surface of which there is powdered sugar. The cranberries, together with the powdered sugar, enter the rolling drum 13. The dispenser 7 serves to dispense the powder onto the conveyor.

Powdered sugar from the dispenser hopper with the help of an adjustable gate is supplied to the belt in a layer of the required thickness. The dispenser valve is set at such a distance from the conveyor belt so that the powdered sugar is supplied to it in an amount of 3.6 kg per minute. Powdered sugar dosage accuracy ± 0.3%.

The rolling drum consists of a shell, four support and two thrust rollers, a frame and a drive.

The drum rotates at a speed of 12 rpm, supported by 4 rollers that rotate in ball bearings around a fixed axis. On the surface of the drum there is a gear which is driven by the gear of the reducer. In the center of the drum there is a fixed axle, which is fixed in the support frame on a bracket.

Two sector dampers are mounted on the axis. The angle of inclination of the drum axis can be changed using a movable frame. The drum is driven by an electric motor through a V-belt transmission and a spur gearbox.

Cranberries with powdered sugar enter the feed part of the rolling drum in a ratio of 1: 3. When cranberries with powdered sugar move along the corrugated surface of the drum, the icing sugar rolls and the sugar layer is compacted on the cranberries.

The movement of cranberries with powdered sugar along the drum is facilitated by its inclination by 7 ° to the horizon. Running-in duration 5 minutes. Drum capacity 230 kg / h.

From the drum, the cranberries, rolled in powdered sugar, are fed to the rack conveyor 14, where they dry and fix the layer of powdered sugar on the surface of the cranberries. Duration of vystoyka 5 min.

From the rack conveyor, the cranberries are fed to the vibrating conveyor 15, on which excess powder is removed and lumps of powdered sugar with paste are sifted out.

As a result of the reciprocating motion of the vibratory conveyor, the cranberry is fed along an inclined descent to the seaming machine 16. Its table moves reciprocally. The table frame is rigidly connected to an eccentric mounted on a vertical shaft.

During rolling of cranberries, powdered sugar is poured with a vibrating sieve, the walls of which vibrate. The vibrator can move along the direction of the table and thus provide the supply of powdered sugar anywhere on the table.

To reduce the adhesion of powdered sugar, the table surface of the seaming machine is covered with organic glass. Rubber scrapers are used to clean the table surface. The duration of the seaming process is 7-9 minutes. Seaming machine capacity 185kg / h.

The cranberries rolled in sugar are delivered in an even layer to the storing conveyor 17, on which the cranberries are finally dried in sugar. On a rack conveyor, cranberries in sugar are passed through a heating chamber equipped with infrared radiation sources and exhaust ventilation to remove moist air.

Duration of drying cranberries in sugar 5 min. Dried cranberries in sugar enter the cooling chamber, in which the temperature is maintained at 20-25 ° C. The air speed in the chamber is 0.4-0.5 m / s. The total duration of cranberry holding in sugar on the holding conveyor is 17 minutes. Ready cranberries in sugar are packed in boxes of 125 and 250 g, or trays of 3 kg on a semiautomatic device with a volumetric dispenser.
