Fermentation tank

Abstract

The invention relates to a fermentation tank which comprises a tank body, a sterilizing device, a stirring device, a temperature control device, a weighing device and an air interchanger, wherein a turnable cover is arranged on the tank body; the cover is provided with a cavity; an air interchanging port is formed in the tank body; the sterilizing device comprises a tank sterilizer and an air sterilizer; the tank sterilizer is fixed on the lower surface of the cover; the air sterilizer is arranged in the cavity; the stirring device comprises a motor and a stirrer; the motor is in drive connection with the stirrer for rotating; the stirrer is arranged in the tank body; the temperature control device comprises a temperature sensor and a temperature regulator; the temperature sensor and the temperature regulator are respectively fixed in the tank body; the weighing device is arranged below the tank body; the air interchanger is connected with the air interchanging port. According to the fermentation tank disclosed by the invention, the initial starch concentration, air quantity in the fermentation process, the fermentation temperature and infectious microbes can be effectively controlled, so that fermentation is performed in an optimum environment, and the wine making efficiency and quality are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of brewing equipment, in particular to a fermenter. Background technique [0002] Chinese wine culture has a long history, and wine products are also extensive and profound. Drinking has become a part of Chinese people's life. The brewing process of liquor is divided into two parts: fermentation and distillation. It affects the efficiency and quality of wine making mainly in the fermentation process. The fermentation process requires sugar and enzymes. The sugar includes glucose and maltose. Fruit juice usually contains a lot of glucose and can be fermented directly. Grains contain a large amount of starch, which can be processed to produce maltose, and the sugar reacts with enzymes to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide at a certain temperature. This reaction process is called alcohol fermentation. The factors affecting alcohol fermentation mainly include the initial starch concentration, the air volume in ...
