Moisturizing process for pumpkin seed shelling

Abstract

The invention discloses a moisturizing process for pumpkin seed shelling. The moisturizing process comprises the following steps of: (1) after carrying out screening, classification, stone removal andcolor sorting on raw material pumpkin seeds, transferring the raw material pumpkin seeds to a transit stock bin for later use; (2) feeding the materials obtained in the previous step into a raw material bin of a stirrer for storage; (3) carrying out weighing on the materials obtained in the previous step by an electronic scale integrated on the stirrer; (4) enabling water of a water source to flow into a high-level water tank by a water inlet pipe; (5) operating a cylinder to carry out discharging; (6) operating a valve to draw off water; (7) starting a stirring motor to stir a mixture of thewater and the materials; and (8) carrying out draining on the materials obtained in the previous step, and conveying the obtained materials to a centrifugal sheller to carry out shelling. The moisturizing process achieves functions of improving a moisturizing effect, making shells of the pumpkin seeds easier to separate, making operation more regulated, implementing convenience and rapidness, improving moisturizing efficiency and shortening moisturizing time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pumpkin seed production, in particular to a wetting process for shelling pumpkin seeds. Background technique [0002] There are many kinds of melon seeds, such as sunflower seeds, sea melon seeds, hanging melon seeds, watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, cucumber seeds, loofah seeds, etc. The dried and mature seeds of pumpkin seeds are flat oval, with a slightly pointed end, yellowish-white appearance, and slightly There are ribs, about 1.2-2 cm long, 0.7-1.2 cm wide, with hairy surface and many edges. As one of many types of melon seeds, pumpkin seeds are loved by consumers and are relatively common snacks . [0003] Pumpkin seeds need to go through many steps in the production and processing process before they can finally become delicious snacks. These steps include soaking in water, adding ingredients, steaming, drying and other steps. The step of shelling is to peel the skin of pumpkin seeds Remove all...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Pumpkin seeds need to go through many steps in the production and processing process before they can finally become delicious snacks. These steps include soaking in water, adding ingredients, steaming, drying and other steps. The step of shelling is to peel the skin of pumpkin seeds Remove all of them. The operation of mechanical shelling is relatively blunt. If the shell of pumpkin seeds is relatively dry, the original intact melon seeds may be broken during the process of shelling. If you add a certain amount of water to stir and moisturize before shelling, The operation of adding water is cumbersome. First, you need to specify a certain amount of melon seeds. After weighing the corresponding volume of water, the manual operation is cumbersome, the work efficiency is low, and operation errors are prone to occur, which will affect the final quality and taste of melon seeds.
