Embodiment 1

[0024] Open hatch 1, clean 10 barrels of Vitex twig honey (crystallization rate greater than 80%) outer packaging barrels, put them upside down successively on the trailer 9 in the crystal breaking room, close hatch 1; Adjust it to 60°C, adjust the airflow speed to 15m / s, and set the honey temperature in the crystal melting chamber to 45°C; ③Open the valve 12 of the water bath heater, set the water temperature to 65°C, connect the steam heat exchanger 13, and control the steam pressure 0.25MPa, after 0.5 hours all crystallized honey has been completely broken and flowed into the crystal melting chamber. ④ When the crystal breaking starts for 15 minutes, according to the signal fed back by the temperature sensor 17, open the heat exchange coil 16 cold water valve to the crystal melting chamber. The honey is cooled so that the honey temperature drops to 45°C, and the honey temperature remains constant. ⑤ 20 minutes after the start of crystal breaking, the honey in the crystal me...

Embodiment 2

[0026]Open hatch 1, clean 10 barrels of linden bar honey (crystallization rate is greater than 80%) outer packaging barrels, put upside down successively on the trailer 9 of crystal breaking room, close hatch 1; 2. gas is discharged by automatic control box The jet temperature is adjusted to 55°C, the airflow speed is adjusted to 20m / s, and the honey temperature in the crystal melting chamber is set to 50°C; ③Open the water bath heater 12 valve, set the water temperature to 60°C, connect the steam heat exchanger 13, and steam The pressure is controlled at 0.2 MPa. After 35 minutes, all the crystallized honey has been completely broken and flowed into the crystal melting chamber. ④ When the crystal breaking starts for 20 minutes, according to the signal fed back by the temperature sensor 17, open the hot water valve of the heat exchange coil 16 for melting. The honey in the crystal chamber is heated to make the honey temperature rise to 50°C, and the honey temperature remains co...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a honey decrystallization method and device and belongs to the technical field of bee product processing. The method includes the following steps: honey package barrel is washed clean and barrel lid is opened, the barrel is placed upside down in a crystal breaking chamber, and the air jet flow temperature is adjusted to 50-70 DEG C and the air flow speed is at 5-20 m / s to conduct air jet flow impact to break the crystal for 0.5-1.5 hours. After breaking the crystals, the honey flows into a honey melting chamber and the honey temperature is adjusted to a temperature of 40-60 DEG C to conduct crystal melting for 1-2 hours. The device includes: an air circulation channel (3), a heater (4), a fan (5), an air distribution pipe (6), a trailer (9), two sliding rails (10), two nozzles (11), a water bath heater (12), a steam heat exchanger (13), a stirring device (15), a heat exchange coil (16), a temperature sensor (17), and a temperature and air velocity sensor (19). The device is used to process the honey, which can effectively protect the biological activity of the honey, and the the device can save water and energy, is environmentally protective, and can achieve automatic control.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bee product processing, and in particular relates to a method and device for decrystallizing honey by impacting a gas jet. The method and equipment can rapidly and safely decrystallize honey under low temperature conditions. technical background [0002] Honey is a biologically active natural nutrient, which has long been used in food, medical, beverage, cosmetic and other industries. my country is the world's largest beekeeping country, ranking first in the number of bee colonies and honey production, with an annual output of 450,000 tons of honey, of which nearly 100,000 tons are exported abroad, and the annual foreign exchange earning of more than 100 million US dollars . Li Shizhen explained the medicinal functions of honey in "Compendium of Materia Medica": clearing heat, nourishing the middle, detoxifying, moistening dryness, and relieving pain. Modern research also shows that honey mainly has the ...
