Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of physical heating, in particular to heating equipment for lactose production. Background Art

[0002] Lactose is a unique carbohydrate in mammalian milk, hence its name. It is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose. In the growth and development of infants and young children, lactose can not only provide energy, but also participate in the development of the brain. The market is very broad. Most of the lactose on the market is obtained by heating the whey in milk, removing the protein, concentrating, cooling, crystallizing and drying, with a yield of about 50% to 60%. Therefore, heating equipment plays an extremely important role in the lactose production process.

[0003] Whey is generally heated by a heating tank. At present, the heating tank used by our company is heated by a heater at the bottom. Since the volume of the heating tank is very large, this heating mode will preheat the whey near the bottom of the tank, and the whey at the top of the heating tank is heated slower than the whey at the bottom. The whey at the top depends on the mixed flow of the whey at the bottom to be heated, resulting in a relatively slow overall temperature rise of the whey in the tank. In order to increase the overall heating speed of the whey in the heating tank and improve production efficiency, a new type of heating equipment for lactose production is designed and proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a heating device for lactose production, which is used to solve the problem that when the internal whey is heated only by a heating tank with a relatively large bottom heating volume, the whey at the top heats up slowly, resulting in relatively low overall heating efficiency.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A heating device for lactose production comprises a heater and a heating tank located above the heater, vertical lifting drive mechanisms are fixedly installed on both sides of the heater, a fixing seat is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting drive mechanism, a side heating component movably sleeved on the outside of the heating tank is fixedly installed on the fixing seat, and the side heating component comprises a fixing frame fixedly connected to the fixing seat and an electric heating plate fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing frame and in contact with the outer wall of the heating tank.

[0007] Preferably, a guide column vertically penetrating the fixing seat is fixedly mounted on the top of the heater.

[0008] Preferably, the two fixing frames are connected via a connecting frame.

[0009] Preferably, a guide wheel rollingly connected to the outer wall of the heating tank is installed on the connecting frame.

[0010] Preferably, a clearance groove corresponding to the position of the discharge pipe of the tank to be heated is provided at the bottom of the connecting frame.

[0011] Preferably, the lifting drive mechanism is an electric push rod or a screw lift.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The utility model heats the side of the heating tank by arranging a side heating component located on the circumferential side of the heating tank. When the heating tank contains more whey, the whey located at the upper part of the heating tank is heated by the side heating component, and cooperates with the heater at the bottom to improve the heating efficiency of the whey in the heating tank. The height position of the side heating component is adjustable, and it can adapt to the rapid heating of whey of different volumes. The structure is simple, the heating speed can be significantly improved, and the utility model has strong practicality. It solves the problem that when the internal whey is heated by only the bottom heating tank with a relatively large heating volume, the temperature of the whey located at the upper part is slow, resulting in relatively low overall heating efficiency.
