Continuous fermentation device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a continuous fermentation device that can ferment objects continuously fed thereinto while conveying the objects. The present invention provides the continuous fermentation device comprising a plurality of fermentation modules, each including: a conveyor belt that carries objects to be fermented from one side to the opposite side thereof, the objects being continuously fed to the one side of the conveyor belt; an agitator located above the conveyor belt; and an air diffuser located on one side of the conveyor belt, wherein the continuously fed objects to be fermented are fermented and continuously discharged through the fermentation modules. According to the present invention, feeding and fermenting materials and discharging the fermented materials are continuously performed so that it is possible to remarkably reduce the process time, thereby decreasing the operating time of the production process. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve an improvementin business competition, such as productivity improvement, investment cost reduction, etc., in the development of mass production through solid-state fermentation, thereby remarkably reducing the production cost of the product.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fermentation apparatus, and more specifically, to a continuous fermentation apparatus capable of transporting and fermenting continuously input fermentation objects. Background technique [0002] As a vegetable protein for livestock, a grain raw material or a by-product obtained by extracting an active ingredient of the raw material is used as a main feed raw material. Typical examples of such vegetable proteins include soybean meal, corn bran, and the like. In the case of the existing soybean meal, it is a component obtained by dehulling and defatting soybeans, and the soybean meal is used as feed for various livestock such as pigs, chickens, and beef cattle. Existing soybean meal has the following problems: because soybean meal has a lower protein content compared with animal protein, and the content of some vitamins, minerals and UGF (Unknown Growth Factor, Unknown Growth Factor) is not excellent, it contains vari...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Existing soybean meal has the following problems: because soybean meal has a lower protein content compared with animal protein, and the content of some vitamins, minerals and UGF (Unknown Growth Factor, Unknown Growth Factor) is not excellent, it contains various anti-nutrients factor (anti-nutritional factor, ANF), thus impeding digestibility when soybean meal is used as feed

In addition, each fermentation device needs to be provided with a plurality of odor treatment units (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) for treating the odor generated during the fermentation process, and the suction unit connected to each fermentation device A via pipelines 5. Suction and transfer of the fermented object to the drying section after the fermentation is completed, but this batch type fermentation has the following disadvantages: not only the cleaning time for removing pollutants in the fermentation device, but also the input of bacteria strains and raw materials are required time and the discharge time of the fermented product, and when the fermentation object of the above-mentioned fermentation is suctioned and completed, the pipeline may be clogged, and the final output of each fermenter is greatly reduced due to the intermittent execution of each process in each fermenter A. product productivity
