ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling fermentation and ensilagation of food for use with an apparatus for fermenting and ensilaging is disclosed. The device comprising a key input unit manually controlled by a user so as to set the rate of fermentation and the ripeness stage. A microprocessor controls the respective units in accordance with a preset program and in response to signals representing the present rate of fermentation and ripeness setting provided by the key input unit. A load control unit controls a heating unit and a cooling unit in response to a control signal applied thereto from the microprocessor and representing the present rate of fermentation and the ripeness stage. A temperature detecting unit detects the present temperature inside an ensilaging container and outputs a signal representing the detected temperature to the microprocessor. A displaying unit displays the respective operational states of the units in response to signal applied thereto from the microprocessor, thereby providing a desired fermented state of the materials being ensilaged by controlling the fermenting time in accordance with the preset rate of fermentation and the ripeness stage, and dropping the temperature inside the ensilaging container in order to execute an ensilaging mode of an ensilaging stage of preset three stages after the fermentation has been accomplished.
