Abstract
A processing machine for soybeans and soybean-embryos is provided, with improved efficiency in the deodorizing and drying processes and the capability to perform a deactivating process in a stable manner. A closed container is divided into individual sections by partitions. In each section, the temperature conditions for the deodorizing and drying processes can be independently determined, so that these processes can be performed within the same closed container and yet at different temperatures. A space is provided above a screw conveyer within the closed container. A heater is wound around the closed container so that the temperature can be freely regulated.
Claims7
A processing machine for soybeans and soybean-embryos, comprising:
- a tank, which is combined with a deactivating and sterilizing apparatus for deactivating and sterilizing soybeans by steam and is arranged to store the soybeans after the deactivating and sterilizing process;
- an impact plate provided under the tank;
- a discharge means for powerfully discharging the soybeans from the tank to make the soybeans collide with the impact plate and thereby crack the soybeans;
- and
- a dryer for drying the cracked soybeans.
