During this time, the highly viscous raw or boiled soybean milk is filtered through a fine mesh screen 101c by the centrifugal force caused by the high-speed rotation of the separation cylinder 101.
Soy milk is squeezed out into the soy milk receiving casing 108 through the holes in the perforated steel plate 101b.

(1) Soy milk for firm tofu (soy milk concentration of 10° to 11° is optimal)
In order to separate raw or boiled gogo, the lid 111a of the spray nozzle 106a is closed, and the lid 111b of the spray nozzle 106b is closed.
Separation cylinder 1 rotates at high speed when opened.
Since the spray nozzle tip 111a is closed, water is not added to the raw material (raw or boiled rice) adhering to part A of the inner peripheral surface of 01, and a highly concentrated soymilk (soy milk concentration 10° to 11°) is The soy milk is squeezed out into the first squeezing chamber 103 by centrifugal force and is discharged from the soy milk outlet 109.

This soymilk is produced as soymilk with a soymilk content of 10° to 11° and can be used as soymilk for making cotton tofu. B
Since the okara that has migrated to the section A has not been hydrated by the spray nozzle 106a when it is present in the section A, the okara containing soy milk with a soy milk content of 10° to 11° is transferred to the spray nozzle 106.

The amount of water added can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of water sprayed from the spray nozzle 106b using a flow meter so as to maintain the required soymilk consistency. The soy milk discharged from the soy milk outlet 110 with a soy milk content of 4° to 5° can be used for frozen tofu and fried tofu, and the soy milk with a soy milk content of 2° to 3° can be used as water for grinding a grinder (not shown).
Since the separating cylinder 101 is rotating at a high speed of 1,500 to 2,000 RPM, the okara that has migrated to part c of the separating cylinder remains okara from which soy milk and moisture have been completely separated, and this okara is transferred to the okara outlet 121. is discharged from.

(2) The soy milk consistency is 4° to 5°, which is optimal for use as soy milk for frozen tofu and fried tofu.
At the same time, the spray nozzle kettle 11b is also opened, water is added to the raw or boiled gourd in the separation cylinder of section A through the spray nozzle 106a, and soymilk with a soybean milk degree of 4° to 5° is transferred to the first squeezing chamber 103. is squeezed out. This soy milk with a soy milk content of 4° to 5° can be used as a product because it is optimal for soy milk for frozen tofu and fried tofu, but soy milk with a soy milk content of 4° to 5° is
To remove the spray nozzle 106a from the
Therefore, by automatically adjusting the amount of water jetted from the spray nozzle 106a according to the instructions from the flow meter 113, soy milk with a soy milk content of 4° to 5° is squeezed out.
The soybean milk is discharged from an outlet 109 formed in the squeezing chamber. Then, water is added to the okara that has migrated to part B of the separation cylinder from the spray nozzle 106b, and soy milk with a soy milk degree of 2° to 3° is squeezed out into the squeezing chamber 102.
The soybean milk is discharged from an outlet 110 formed in the squeezing chamber 102. This soymilk having a soymilk degree of 2° to 3° is used as water for grinding a grinder (not shown). In order to obtain soymilk having a soymilk degree of 2° to 3°, it is necessary to appropriately adjust the amount of water added from the spray nozzle 106b using the flow meter 113. The okara that has been transferred to the separation tube in part c is 1500 yen in the separation tube 101.
Since it rotates at a high speed of ~2000 RPM, okara from which soy milk and moisture have been completely separated remains, and this okara is discharged from the okara outlet 121.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the present invention, the inside of the casing is divided into two chambers by a separation tube partition plate provided on the outer peripheral surface of the separation tube and a casing partition plate provided inside the soybean milk receiving casing. Each spray nozzle is installed to branch out to each chamber, and one is used to adjust the ejection volume of each spray nozzle to a concentration suitable for soymilk for firm tofu using a kettle installed in each spray nozzle and a flow meter installed in a high-pressure water pipe. In addition, the other one is adjusted to a concentration suitable for soymilk for frozen tofu and fried tofu, so that soymilk for firm tofu and soymilk for frozen tofu and fried tofu can be obtained at the same time. Not only is it possible to obtain only soymilk for firm tofu, or only soymilk for frozen tofu and fried tofu, but one separator can function as two conventional separators. This has the effect that the installation area of the separator is significantly reduced and the installation cost is also significantly reduced. Furthermore, since each squeezing chamber is separated by a separate cylinder partition plate and a casing partition plate and is formed in a sealed state, there is also the effect of preventing germs from adhering to the soybean milk squeezed into each squeezing chamber.
