This
machine is used for the thawing of products stored in metal drums.
Functioning:
A transport line with motorized rollers approximates the drum to the lifting
platform that turns the drum over.
The lifting
platform consists of a base of conveyor rollers and a set of pneumatic grippers
that grasp the drum while a hydraulic device lifts it to the unloading hopper
and then, once the product has been emptied, returns the drum to its starting
position.
From the
hopper, the product enters a drum where it is crushed until defrosted and when
it is in its ideal state, a positive rotor pump with screw without end feeder
moves it to a set of heat exchangers that finish the thawing process until a
liquid product is obtained.
After
passing through the heat exchangers, the product is ready for the next stage of
the process.
