This invention relates to the field of beer production technology and discloses a mixing device and process for beer production. The device includes a tank with an upper
water pipe and a lower liquid
pipe at its upper and lower ends, respectively. The side wall of the tank has inlet and outlet ports. An internal filter screen is installed inside the tank. The tank also contains a stirring shaft, a rotating ring, a vertical rod, an anchor-shaped
paddle, and a tillering
paddle. The stirring shaft is rotatably mounted inside the tank. This mixing device, through the arrangement of the stirring shaft, rotating ring, vertical rod, anchor-shaped
paddle, and tillering paddle, and in conjunction with a lifting control mechanism, achieves synchronous reverse lifting and lowering movements of the anchor-shaped paddle and the tillering paddle. This eliminates the need to transfer the mash and malt between the
mashing tank and the filter tank, thus completing the integrated
mashing and malt washing process. This effectively shortens the production process, reduces equipment
footprint, avoids heat loss and material residue during wort transfer, improves
raw material utilization and production efficiency, reduces the risk of
microbial contamination, and ultimately ensures the quality of the produced beer.
