INVERSION OF JAPANESE PLUM OR THE LIKE TO BE DRIED WITH SUNLIGHT AND DEVICE FOR INVERTING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for inverting Japanese plums, young sardines, small and pink boiled shrimps, etc., to be dried with sunlight by a mechanical means, and to provide an inversion device therefor. SOLUTION: This method for inverting Japanese plums, etc., to be dried with sunlight comprises superposing an empty shallow box type vessel 5' on a shallow box type vessel 5 in which the Japanese plums, etc., to be dried with the sunlight are arranged in a mutually faced state, rotating the two vessels 5, 5' in the vertical direction, reducing the rotation speed at a rotation position slightly before a rotation arm 36 for the vessels 5, 5' reaches a vertical posture, rotating the rotation arm 36 as such until, to reach the vertical posture, simultaneously lowering the vessels 5, 5' together with the Japanese plums, etc., received in the vessels, transferring the Japanese plumes, etc., into the lower vessel 5', when the lowered Japanese plums reach the lowering limit, carrying the lower vessel 5' receiving the inverted Japanese plums, etc., supplying a sunlight-drying vessel 5' having arranged Japanese plums, etc., therein into a space under the left upper empty vessel 5, and similarly repeating the above- described processes.
