Method and equipment for separating tenebrio molitor oil, protein and chitin

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and equipment for separating tenebrio molitor oil, protein and chitin. The invention discloses the method for separating the tenebrio molitor oil, the protein and the chitin. The method comprises the following steps of S1, screening and cleaning tenebrio molitor; S2, degreasing and drying; S3, crushing and filtering; and S4, cyclone separation. The invention further provides the equipment for separating the tenebrio molitor oil, the protein and the chitin, the equipment comprises a crushing bin, the top of the crushing bin communicates with a storage bin, a mounting bin is mounted at the top of one side of the crushing bin, and a motor is mounted on the side, close to the mounting bin, of one end of the crushing bin. Through rotary connection of a closed roller and a fixed shaft and cooperation of a supporting mechanism and a transmission mechanism, raw materials which do not reach the crushing standard on a first filter plate can be thrown to the position above a first crushing roller and a second crushing roller to be crushed again, and therefore transferring and re-crushing of the raw materials can be automatically completed; and furthermore, the crushing degree of the raw materials is fully ensured, the equipment is more convenient and higher in efficiency, and meanwhile, the filtering effect and the discharging smoothness can be ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of Tenebrio molitor processing, in particular to a method and equipment for separating Tenebrio molitor oil, protein and chitin. Background technique [0002] Tenebrio molitor is an insect species with complete metamorphosis, namely adult, egg, larva, and pupa. It is commonly known as mealworm. Because it contains extremely high protein and nutrients, it is gradually used in food, medical and other industries, breeding and Subsequent production and processing technology has also been continuously developed. In the production process of Tenebrio molitor, in order to facilitate subsequent further processing and transportation and storage after processing, it is generally necessary to remove the internal oil first, and then remove the remaining protein and chitin. In this process, the cooperation of various separation equipment is required. [0003] Existing equipment for separating Tenebrio molitor oil, prote...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing equipment for separating Tenebrio molitor oil, protein, and chitin generally first removes its oils and fats separately by supercritical carbon dioxide method, and then crushes and separates them through separation equipment, so as to prepare the final protein and chitin powder However, when the existing equipment crushes it, it generally uses a more traditional crushing mechanism for crushing. In the actual operation process, one-time crushing often cannot meet the actual use requirements. Re-collect and put it into the crushing equipment again for crushing treatment, which leads to an increase in the entire process steps, and requires manual participation, which leads to a significant reduction in processing and crushing efficiency, and is more labor-intensive, increasing the overall production cost
