Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of compound seasonings, specifically to a spray granulation device and method for producing solid compound seasonings. Background Technology

[0002] Compound seasonings are a type of seasoning made by combining two or more seasonings and undergoing special processing. Modern solid compound seasonings are not products made from a single ingredient; they are usually composed of multiple seasoning ingredients and are not simply combinations of ingredients. They generally require multiple processes such as pretreatment of raw materials, heat sterilization, biochemical reaction, spray granulation, and drying, and are finally obtained through appropriate filling and packaging methods.

[0003] In existing technologies, a spray pipe is used to mix liquid slurry with high-pressure air and spray it out. Under the action of an atomizing nozzle, the slurry is sprayed out in a mist form, and finally dried to form granular material. When drying and collecting the granular material, a drum is usually used in conjunction with a heating element. The rotation of the drum ensures that the material is constantly turned over to prevent it from sticking together, and the heating element located in the center of the drum ensures uniform heating.

[0004] However, in actual production and use, the excessive length of the drum makes material collection and discharge inconvenient. At the same time, material particles often stick to the inner wall of the drum and the heating pipe, which affects the discharge of the device. Therefore, the spray granulation device needs to further enhance the turning and drying effect and facilitate material discharge. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a spray granulation apparatus and method for producing solid compound seasonings, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0055] A material collection box 3 is provided on one side of the base 5 at the lower position corresponding to the opening end of the roller 1. That is, the material collection box 3 of this device can be designed to discharge solid granular compound seasoning from the opening of the roller 1. The setting of the material collection box 3 makes it easier to collect the material discharged by the device.

[0056] Example 4:

[0057] like Figure 1-7 As shown, based on the above embodiments, a further optimization is made: a spray granulation method using a spray granulation device for producing solid compound seasonings includes the following steps:

[0058] s1: Start motor 506, the gear 505 fixed on the output end of motor 506 starts to rotate, and drives drum 1 to rotate by meshing with ring tooth 102. Start heating tube 7 to start heating, and heat sink 701 on the outer wall of heating tube 7 starts to dissipate heat, so that the heat distribution in drum 1 is more uniform. Then, compound seasoning slurry and high-pressure air are filled from slurry pipe 6, and atomized slurry is sprayed from the atomizing nozzle at the other end of slurry pipe 6.

[0059] s2: As the drying function of the heating tube 7 is activated, solid particles and water vapor are precipitated from the atomized slurry. The solid particles settle at the bottom of the drum 1. As the drum 1 rolls, the material is continuously turned over by the turning plate 104 to prevent them from sticking together. The above process continues until the entire process of spray granulation is completed, and then the device is stopped.

[0060] s3: The production personnel hold the handle 703 and slide it in the movable groove 204 in the fixed head 2 to drive the heating tube 7 to rotate, inverting the heat sink 701 on the upper part of the outer wall of the heating tube 7, so that the particulate material remaining in the gap of the heat sink 701 can be poured out.

[0061] S4: Start cylinder 503, push positioning buckle 504 to engage with positioning protrusion 103, that is, make the material turning plate 104 inside the roller 1 align with the notch 801 on scraper plate 8, so as to facilitate the movement of scraper plate 8 inside roller 1; push the scraper plate 8 to move inside 1 by push rod. During the movement of scraper plate 8, the granular composite seasoning at the bottom of roller 1 and some of the granular composite seasoning stuck in the gap of heat sink 701 at the lower end of the outer wall of heating tube 7 will be completely pushed out of the device. The granular solid composite seasoning falls into the material box 3 for collection, completing the entire discharge process.

[0062] As can be seen from the above steps, this device can obtain solid granular compound seasoning by spraying, atomizing, drying, and granulating liquid compound seasoning. The operation is simple and efficient. Simultaneously, this method, utilizing the spraying and granulation device of this application, allows for rapid material discharge and quick removal of adhering materials within the drum, facilitating cleaning and unloading. Specifically, the invention, through the coordinated action of structures such as the turning plate, heating tube, heat sink, scraper, scraper teeth, positioning protrusions, and positioning buckles, makes the drying and turning effect within the drum more uniform. The rotating heating tube, in conjunction with the scraper teeth, can clean out residual material from the gaps between the heat sinks, further facilitating material discharge.
