DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(7) The invention is about a hulling machine (A) that is hulling the sesame seed, to be used in facilities that are using sesame seeds as raw materials to produce tahini.
(8) As it is seen in FIG. 1, the hulling machine (A), which is the subject of the invention, includes a main body (5), which is the main structure of the hulling machine (A). On the main body (5), there is a feeding bunker (16) which keeps the sesame seeds to be hulled, and feeds to the hulling machine (A). Under the feeding bunker (16), there is a bearing chassis (6) that is bearing the feeding bunker (16). Under the bearing chassis (6), there is at least one feeding helix (3) that is transferring the sesame seeds in the feeding bunker (16), to the top mixing helix (2). Under the feeding helix (3), there is a feeding helix bearing chassis (12) that is bearing the feeding helix (3).
(9) As it is seen in FIG. 1, the hulling machine (A) which is the subject of the invention includes a middle helix (1) that is mixing the sesame seeds to be hulled, and a top mixing helix (2). Propulsion movement to the mentioned middle helix (1) and the top mixing helix (2) is provided by the propulsion reductors (18). It includes a demountable reductor support chassis (7) which provide that the mentioned propulsion reductors (18) are connected to the hulling machine (A), supporting it at the vertical axis. It includes connection elements (20) which fix the mentioned reductor support chassis (7) to the main body (5) on a demountable basis.
(10) As it is seen in FIG. 1, the hulling machine (A) that is the subject of the invention, includes a mixing system (8) which is placed at the exit of the product, and which is separating the sesame seed and its hull. On the mixing system (8), there is a product exit duct which provide that the hulled sesame seed is moved out. On the mixing system (8), there is a bottom body (15) which bears the middle bunker (1). Under the mixing system (8), there is a mixing stand (10) which bears the mixing system (8). On the mixing stand (10), there is an air vacuum hood (9) which vacuums the dust created during the separation of the sesame seed and its hull. Under the air vacuum hood (9), there is a weighted valve (17). Mixing system (8) has the feature of being able to be mounted to the left or right of the main body (5), according to preference.
(11) As it is seen in FIG. 1, the hulling machine (A) which is the subject of the invention includes a water tank (11) positioned under the middle helix (1). It includes at least one maintenance ladder (13), which is positioned at both sides of the hulling machine (A), and providing that it the hulling machine (A) is screwed for maintenance purposes.
(12) As it is seen in FIG. 3, the hulling machine (A) which is the subject of the invention includes demountable duct drawers (4), which provide that the sesame seeds are transferred from the top mixing helix (2) to the middle helix. On the duct drawer (4), there is an mounting rail profile (4.1) that is enabling that the duct drawer (4) to be fixed to the main body (5) in a mountable way. Drawer connection profile (21) which is connected to the main body (5) preferably by welding method, provides that the duct drawer (4) is fixed to the main body (5). Whereby, connection bolts (14) fix the duct drawer (4) to the drawer connection profile (21). Assembly holes (4.2) which are positioned on the assembly rail profile (4.1), provide that connection bolts are fixed to the drawer connection profile (21) of the duct drawer (4).
(13) As it is seen in FIG. 4, the hulling machine (A) which is the subject of the invention includes a middle helix (1), top mixing helix (2), and fore plates (19) which provide that the bottom body (15) is fixed to the main body (5), and which decrease assembly distance (d). On the mentioned fore plates (19), there are fixing holes (19.1) which provide that fore plates (19) are fixed to the main body (5) in a mountable way. Fore plates (19) are preferably manufactured as square profiled, to decrease the assembly distance (d). The mentioned assembly distance (d) is the distance between the middle helix axis (a), top mixing helix axis (b), and the bottom body axis (c).
(14) In line with the information provided above, the hulling machine (A) which is the subject of the invention works as follows.
(15) As it is seen in FIG. 1, the sesame seed which is to be hulled is received to the hulling machine (A) from the feeding bunker (16). Sesame seeds poured from the feeding bunker (16) are poured to the middle helix (1) and the top mixing helix (2), through the feeding helix (3). The hull of the sesame seed that is arriving to the middle helix (1) and top mixing helix (2) is broken, and then it arrives at the mixing helix (8). Here, the lumpy creations formed by the sesame seed and its hull are separated.
(16) For vertically supporting the propulsion reductors (18) which provide propulsion to middle helix (1) and the top mixing helix (2), reductor support chassis (7) is used. As it is seen in FIG. 5, in the known current state of the technique, the welded main chassis (100) is mounted by welding. However, in the hulling machine (A) which is the subject of the invention, reductor support chassis (7) is mounted to the main body (5) by the connection elements (20). Also, instead of the double sided lid (110) in the known current state of the technique in FIG. 5, duct drawers (4) are used which are mounted to the main body (5) in a demountable way, therefore maintenance and assembly have become easier.
(17) As it is seen in FIG. 5, in the known current state of the technique, cylindrical fore plate (120) cause the assembly distance (d) to increase, and because of the structure including welding, cause the manufacturing duration to increase. Fore plates (19) used in the hulling machine (A) which is the subject of the invention are manufactured as square profiles, to decrease the assembly distance (d). Additionally, through the fixing holes (19.1) on it, it can be mounted on the main body (5) in a demountable way.
