The present invention relates to an apparatus for preparing salted Chinese cabbages using functional salt water. The apparatus comprises: a first tank provided with at least one functionality giving layer for giving functionality to salt water； at least one filter tank for filtering residual materials contained in the salt water discharged from the first tank； a storage tank for storing the salt water discharged from the filter tank； and a salting tank for receiving the salt water from the storage tank to salt Chinese cabbages piled therein. The apparatus for preparing salted Chinese cabbages according to the present invention further comprises: a drainage unit provided at the bottom end of the salting tank to drain the salt water； and a cleaning water supply unit provided at one side of the salting tank to supply cleaning water for cleaning the salted Chinese cabbages after the draining of the salt water. The apparatus for preparing salted Chinese cabbages according to the present invention can make kimchi, which is good for the human health compared with a conventional apparatus for preparing salted Chinese cabbages, since the salted Chinese cabbages are prepared by using salt water, to which functional components are given from the functional giving layer, instead of normal salt. In addition, the apparatus according to the present invention can prepare salted Chinese cabbages containing functional components and no foreign materials compared with conventional Chinese cabbages,l since the functional components are contained more efficiently in the salt water and the purifying performance of impurities, which are generated from the functional salt water preparing procedure, are further enhanced.본 발명은 기능성 염수를 이용하여 절임배추를 제조하는 장치에 관한 것으로, 염수에 기능성을 부여하기 위한 적어도 하나의 기능성 부여층이 마련된 제1탱크, 제1탱크에서 배출된 염수에 포함된 부수물을 여과하기 위한 적어도 하나의 여과탱크, 여과탱크로부터 배출된 염수를 저장하는 저장탱크, 및 저장탱크로부터 염수를 공급받아 내부에 쌓여있는 배추를 절이기 위한 절임탱크를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다. 이에 더하여 본 발명에 따르는 절임배추 제조장치는 절임탱크의 하단에 염수를 배수하기 위한 배수장치
