Closed-Top Fermentation Tanks for Cucumbers
1986
Humphries, Ervin G. | Fleming, H. P.
Advantages of closed-top anaerobic tanks for processing fresh, pickling type cucumbers into brinestock are discussed and physical attributes related to tank geometry and sealing are examined. Dynamic angle of repose measurements indicate tank tops should have slopes greater than 35 deg to facilitate filling. Static angle of repose measurements suggest that cucumbers could lodge at pile angles up to 73 deg. Manhole openings for movement of materials out of tanks by flotation methods should exceed 37 cm to prevent bridging across the opening. Pipe diameters for free flow of cucumbers and brine should exceed 30 cm. Measurements and observations discussed served as guidelines for installation of a pilot commercial facility.
