Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flour processing, and particularly relates to a wheat conditioning device for flour processing. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of flour mills, there are many key links, each of which plays an important role. The quality of flour is directly or indirectly affected from different angles by the control of each link, and the adjustment of wheat moisture is one of the most crucial factors affecting the quality of the finished product.

[0003] There are two different states of water in grain crops: one is free water (also known as free water), and the other is bound water. Wheat conditioning is to increase the free water in wheat through moisture adjustment, change the mechanical structure and physical properties of wheat grains, enhance the toughness of the wheat cortex, and avoid the mixing of broken wheat husks into the flour to reduce the flour quality. After wheat conditioning, the structure of starch granules in the endosperm becomes loose, and the structural force decreases, which is beneficial to grinding and sieving.

[0004] Most of the existing wheat conditioning methods use the form of spraying water to wet the wheat, and then transport it to a static bin for static placement. There are problems such as uneven water absorption of wheat, and the static placement time often exceeds 24 hours, resulting in low wheat conditioning efficiency and inability to meet the continuous wheat conditioning process.

Start the hydraulic cylinder 36 to drive the semi-circular pushing plate to move and open the sealing door 42 to discharge the wheat in the static chamber 3.

[0038] Pour the wheat into the feeding hopper 20 and enter the circular tank body 1 through the feeding port 13. After the water is filtered by the water purifier 7, it enters the soaking chamber 2 through the water inlet pipe 8. Then start the first motor 41 to drive the rotating rod 5 to rotate, and then drive the partition net 4 to rotate 180°, completely submerge the wheat in the water of the soaking chamber 2, make the wheat evenly absorb water, and then the partition net 4 pushes the wheat back into the static chamber 3. The excess water permeates through the partition net 4 and flows back to the soaking chamber 2. Then pressurize the static chamber 3 through the pressure booster and the pressure pipe 12, which can accelerate the penetration of water into the wheat interior and improve the wheat moistening efficiency. At the same time, start the first cylinder 25 to drive the pressing plate 26 to move downward, insert the swinging plate 29 into the wheat in the static chamber 3, start the third motor, drive multiple spiral conveying blades 33 to rotate through the transmission shaft 39 and multiple bevel gear pairs 38, feed the wheat at the bottom layer into the conveying channel 32 through the feeding end, and then discharge it from the discharging end 40 at the top.
