Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of starch production equipment, and in particular to a concentrator for the production of soluble starch. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of soluble starch, concentration is a crucial step, aiming to remove water from the starch solution and increase the starch concentration and purity. Current concentrators suffer from problems such as uneven liquefaction enzyme spraying, low heating efficiency, inaccurate temperature control, and insufficient stirring. These issues not only affect the starch liquefaction efficiency and concentration effect but may also lead to raw material waste and increased production costs. Therefore, it is necessary to improve current concentrators to address these problems.

[0003] The information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of the inventive concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] A thickener for soluble starch production includes a thickening tank, a fixed frame, and a crossbeam. The fixed frame is fixedly installed at the lower end of the thickening tank, and the crossbeam is fixedly installed at the upper end of the thickening tank. Guardrails are installed on both sides of the crossbeam, and a seat is installed at the lower end of the crossbeam. A liquefying enzyme spray pipe is installed on one side of the thickening tank, and the other side of the liquefying enzyme spray pipe is fixedly installed in the seat. A nozzle is installed at the lower end of the liquefying enzyme spray pipe. A first annular electric heating tube, a second annular electric heating tube, and a third annular electric heating tube are sequentially installed on the inner wall of the thickening tank.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, a feed inlet is installed on one side of the thickening tank, a conical discharge outlet is installed at the lower end of the thickening tank, a discharge outlet connecting valve is installed on one side of the conical discharge outlet, and the lower end of the conical discharge outlet is connected to the discharge port.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, a drive motor is fixedly installed at the upper end of the crossbeam, the lower end of the drive motor is connected to a transmission shaft, and the lower end of the transmission shaft is connected to three sets of stirring blades.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a control box is installed at the upper end of the crossbeam, and the control box is electrically connected to the drive motor, the first annular electric heating tube, the second annular electric heating tube, the third annular electric heating tube, and the nozzle.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This concentrator uses a liquefying enzyme spray pipe to evenly spray the liquefying enzyme onto the surface of the starch solution in the concentration tank, ensuring full contact between the enzyme and starch and improving liquefaction efficiency. The spray nozzle is equipped with an atomizing nozzle, allowing the liquefying enzyme to be sprayed in a fine mist, further enhancing the liquefaction effect. The arrangement of the annular electric heating tubes evenly heats the starch solution in the concentration tank, improving heating efficiency and effectively preventing heat waste caused by localized overheating or undercooling. The layered heating by the first, second, and third annular electric heating tubes allows for precise temperature control, optimizing heat transfer efficiency during starch concentration. Simultaneously, the drive motor drives the stirring blades, ensuring uniform stirring of the liquid in the concentration tank, preventing sedimentation and particle accumulation, enhancing liquid fluidity, and improving concentration efficiency.
