Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bean product processing, in particular to a continuous automatic slurry solidification machine. Background Art

[0002] Soy products are common and nutritious foods in people's daily lives. The production of soy products such as soy milk, tofu, dried tofu, and fermented tofu generally involves seven key steps: bean selection, soaking, grinding, straining, boiling, slurry formation, and shaping. Specifically, the production process begins with selecting high-quality soybeans, soaking them, and grinding them into a slurry. Then, a coagulant such as brine is used to form tofu pudding. The pudding is then transferred to a mold and pressed into tofu or further processed into dried tofu.

[0003] Nowadays, the continuous pulping machine places the coagulation barrel directly on the conveyor belt. During the transmission process, inertia will cause the transmission to be unstable, and the liquid in the coagulation barrel will spill. In addition, the existing coagulation barrel is a small round barrel. When the molded tofu in the round barrel is transferred to the next processing point, the molded tofu in the barrel is easy to break, and the finished product rate is low.

[0004] To this end, our company provides a continuous automatic slurry solidification machine to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
