Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of corn deep processing, and in particular relates to a soaking device for corn deep processing and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Soaking is an important step in the deep processing of corn. It helps soften corn kernels and facilitates subsequent processing operations. During the soaking process, corn kernels absorb water, causing starch particles to swell and become easier to grind and separate. In addition, soaking can also help remove impurities and microorganisms on the surface of corn kernels, improving product quality and safety. During the soaking process, some chemicals, such as acid or alkali, can also be added to promote the dissolution of certain components in corn or change its structure to achieve specific processing purposes. For example, the existing public document CN115039848B-A corn lactic acid fermented beverage production device discloses a soaking device for deep processing of corn.

[0003] Although the existing disclosed corn lactic acid fermented beverage production device can achieve uniform soaking of corn, it still has certain shortcomings in actual use: first, after the corn is soaked, the existing new type of corn deep processing soaking device requires personnel to remove the toothed belt by turning and tightening the cap, then take out the rotating tube, and then use the crank to turn the threaded rod to drive the screen plate to bring the corn kernels upward. Multiple parts need to be disassembled during the material collection process, resulting in the material collection process being too cumbersome, labor-intensive, and low work efficiency; secondly, during the corn soaking process, it is difficult for the staff to sample the deep corn, which makes it difficult for the staff to evaluate the overall soaking state of the corn in the soaking tank, and thus the soaking effect of the corn cannot be guaranteed; finally, after the existing new type of corn deep processing soaking device completes the filtration, some corn crumbs will remain in the mesh of the screen. If it is not cleaned for a long time, the screen will be blocked, reducing the filtration efficiency, and the residual corn will rot and affect the soaked corn. The existing screen is usually fixed inside the soaking tank, which makes it inconvenient to clean the screen.

[0004] To this end, we provide a soaking device for deep processing of corn and a method of use to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention
