Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of cream in food processing, and in particular relates to a cream product raw material transportation and terminal processing device and method. Background Art

[0002] Cream is mainly a mixture of water and oil, and is divided into two categories: animal cream and vegetable cream. It is widely used in food, mainly in the production of cream products such as baking, milk tea, and ice cream. Behind the various cake shops and tea shops that are scattered all over the streets and alleys is a gradually mature prefabricated raw material supply chain. Prefabricated raw materials such as milk base and prefabricated cream allow cake shops, tea shops and other processing points at the end of such supply chains to have efficient product production speeds and stable product quality and taste, but they also face the following problems:

[0003] Question 1: The pre-made raw materials such as pre-made cream and pre-made milk base used by the end processing points of the supply chain such as milk tea, cakes, and bakery shops contain a wide variety of additives, etc., and the labels only show the types but not the content. When the end processing points use the pre-made raw materials to make the final product, they will also add various food additives, so the amount of various food additives added to the final product is not easy to control.

[0004] Question 2: The cream raw materials processed into standardized packaged products require large amounts of emulsifiers, stabilizers, and other additives in order to maintain the water-in-oil emulsified state for long-term stable storage during production. Ultra-high pressure homogenization treatment is also required during production, which faces problems such as low consumer acceptance, high production energy consumption, and certain food safety risks.

[0005] Question 3: Cream product raw materials contain a lot of water. In fact, the majority of the raw materials for many types of cream products are water. Water takes up a lot of space and energy in the transportation process, which is very costly. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a cream product raw material transportation and terminal processing device and method. With a simple structure and low cost, the emulsification and mixing of water and fat and the addition of additives are transferred to the end of the supply chain, providing a new operation mode for the cream product supply chain.

[0007] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A cream product raw material transportation and terminal processing device, which consists of three parts: a transport inner box, an outer box and a bottom processing module. The detachable transport inner box is installed inside the outer box, and the bottom processing module is installed at the bottom of the transport inner box. The transport inner box is used to transport cream-related materials in various states from the factory to the end of the cream product supply chain such as bakery shops and milk tea shops; the outer box is used to install and support the transport inner box and adjust the temperature; the bottom processing module is used to process the materials.

[0008] The transport inner box is composed of an inner box outer shell and an inner box agitator, and the inner box agitator is arranged inside the inner box outer shell.

[0009] Preferably, the inner box shell is made of a material with good heat transfer performance and sufficient strength, and its shape is a cuboid, with square upper and lower surfaces, the direction of the circular opening in the center is the top, the direction of the inverted cone shape is the bottom, and the four sides of the cuboid continue to extend toward the bottom and exceed the lowest point of the inverted cone; the inner box shell is provided with inner box convex blocks on the four sides of the top, and grooves are provided on the four sides of the bottom extension. During transportation, the grooves of the upper transport inner box can be stuck on the inner box convex blocks of the lower transport inner box. The inner box discharge port is provided at the end of the cone at the bottom of the inner box shell, and is connected to the bottom processing module.

[0010] Preferably, the inner box agitator is composed of a disc cover, a rotating shaft, an internal support frame, a rotating handle, a swing plate and a limit plate. The disc cover covers the circular opening at the top of the inner box shell, and a circular hole is provided in the center of the disc cover, through which the rotating shaft passes, and the bottom of the rotating shaft reaches the internal support directly. The disc cover and the internal support frame jointly fix the rotating shaft and support the rotating shaft to rotate. The top of the rotating shaft is slightly higher than the disc cover and is provided with a rotating handle. The rotating shaft is hinged to connect several swing plates, which swing up and down with the bumps, and a limit plate is provided above and below each swing plate to limit the swing angle of the swing plate.

[0011] The outer box is shaped like a hollow cylinder, and a support foot of a certain height is provided at the bottom to support the outer box and to provide space for installing the bottom processing module. A number of isolation plates are provided on the outer box from the outer side to the axial direction, and the width of each isolation plate is controlled so that all isolation plates leave a rectangular space that runs through from top to bottom along the axis line for placing and installing the transport inner box. A fixed plate is provided at the bottom of two adjacent isolation plates and the outer side between them, and an outer shell protrusion is provided at the edge where the fixed plate meets the rectangular space, so that the groove at the bottom of the installed transport inner box is just stuck on the outer shell protrusion to support the transport inner box; a flap is provided on the top of two adjacent isolation plates, and after the transport inner box is installed, an enclosed space is formed between the two adjacent isolation plates. The isolation plates, fixed plates, and the outer side of the outer box are made of materials with good thermal insulation properties and sufficient strength. The bottom processing module is composed of a feed pipe, a flow valve, a feed capillary, a water connection pipe, an accelerating capillary, a mixing kettle, a driving wheel, a stirring rod, a pressure-boosting wheel, an auxiliary material feeding pipe, a bucket-shaped capillary, a heating section, a collision column and a final discharge port.

[0012] Preferably, the feed pipe is connected to the inner box outlet, and the flow rate only needs to be controlled by controlling the pipe diameter for single product demand, and a flow valve needs to be installed on the feed pipe for multi-purpose demand. The end of the feed pipe extends obliquely downward, and the aperture is reduced to form a feed capillary tube.

[0013] Preferably, the water receiving pipe is used to connect to an external water source, and a flow valve needs to be installed on the water receiving pipe for multi-purpose needs. The aperture of the rear end of the water receiving pipe is reduced to form an accelerating capillary, so that the water flow has greater kinetic energy. The accelerating capillary is inserted into the feeding capillary along the central axis.

[0014] Preferably, the mixing kettle is vertically arranged and divided into three sections from top to bottom, with a shape of being wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The mixing kettle is provided with a driving wheel, a stirring rod and a boost wheel in sequence from top to bottom along the central axis. The driving wheel is located in the upper section of the mixing kettle, and the feeding capillary is obliquely inserted into the upper section of the mixing kettle. The high kinetic energy material impacts the driving wheel blades to rotate the driving wheel. The stirring rod is located in the middle section of the mixing kettle, coaxial with the driving wheel, and driven to rotate. The boost wheel is located in the lower section of the mixing kettle, coaxial with the driving wheel, and driven to rotate. The driving shaft in the center of the upper section of the mixing kettle is hollow and is the auxiliary material feeding tube. After the auxiliary material is added from the top, it enters the middle section of the mixing kettle along the auxiliary material feeding tube. After the material is mixed under the stirring action of the stirring rod, it enters the lower section of the mixing kettle and is pressurized by the boost wheel and injected into the bucket-shaped capillary.

[0015] Preferably, the heating section is an electric heating device, which can be arranged outside the bucket-shaped capillary and outside the accelerating capillary in the water receiving pipe according to the process requirements. The capillary has a small diameter and high heating efficiency. The bucket-shaped capillary and the accelerating capillary with the heating section can also be arranged in the shape of a spiral tube to increase the heating time. For product processing without sterilization or heating requirements, there is no need to set a heating section.

[0016] Preferably, the bucket-shaped capillary tube is arranged horizontally, with the interior being thicker at the front and thinner at the back, so that the kinetic energy of the material increases again after entering, and a collision column is arranged near the outlet of the end of the bucket-shaped capillary tube, and the collision column and the bucket-shaped capillary tube are located on the same axis, and the ejected material hits the collision column. The final product flows out from the final discharge port.

[0017] A method for transporting raw materials and final processing of cream products comprises the following steps: (1) This method can be applied to different cream-related materials, including liquid materials: such as low-water animal cream, etc.; solid fats: anhydrous animal cream (butter), etc.; solid powders: animal cream powder, non-dairy creamer and other single or pre-formulated powders. The main characteristics of the above materials are: first, no emulsifier or other additives are added artificially. Second, low moisture content or no water to reduce transportation costs.

[0018] (2) According to the process requirements of the terminal processing points such as milk tea, cakes, and bakery shops, the factory will load the preliminarily processed materials into the transport inner box, install the inner box agitator, and make the disc cover of the inner box agitator cover the circular opening on the top of the inner box shell to complete the sealing of the transport inner box. Solid oils and solid powders can also be transported without using the transport inner box. All devices are placed at the terminal processing point, or the transport inner box is not equipped with the inner box agitator during transportation.

[0019] (3) Load the transport inner boxes filled with materials into the transport vehicle that meets the storage and transportation conditions. The rectangular transport inner boxes are neatly arranged and combined to fully utilize all the compartment space without any gaps. At the same time, they are aligned and close to each other to support each other. The groove of the upper transport inner box is stuck on the inner box convex block of the lower transport inner box, and they are arranged up and down until they reach the roof. Under the action of close arrangement and fixation of the card slot, all the transport inner boxes form a relatively unified whole. With the bumps and shakes during the transportation process, all the transport inner boxes shake more uniformly and evenly.

[0020] (4) For materials containing water, two kinds of movements occur inside the transport inner box during the bumping and shaking. The first is that the sway plate swings up and down with the bumping. The second is that the rotating shaft rotates slightly and the sway plate moves horizontally. The water-containing materials inside the transport inner box are constantly stirred and move up and down, delaying the oil-water stratification of the materials.

[0021] (5) The inner transport box is transported to various scattered milk tea shops, bakery shops and other terminal processing points, and the inner transport box is installed on the outer transport box. The temperature adjustment mode is selected according to the process. For materials that need to be heated, select a closed room with a suitable number and position of partitions, open the top cover of the partition board, and pour in hot water of the appropriate temperature; for materials that need to be cooled, select a closed room with a suitable number and position of partitions, open the top cover of the partition board, and pour in crushed ice. According to the nature of the material, water-containing materials need to be manually or externally driven before each use, and the handle needs to be shaken and turned to mix the internal materials with the inner box agitator.

[0022] (6) Install a bottom processing module at the bottom of the transport inner box, and connect the water pipe to tap water that meets the hygiene standards, or pressurize the direct drinking water already in the store. Choose whether to install flow valves on the water pipe and the feed pipe according to needs to adjust the mixing ratio of the two materials. Choose whether to install a heating section on the outside of the accelerating capillary in the water pipe according to needs to sterilize the tap water or raise the tap water temperature to a suitable level. Turn on the water source, and the water flow with a certain pressure has greater kinetic energy after passing through the accelerating capillary. The high-kinetic energy water flow impacts the material in the feed capillary, driving the material in the feed capillary to further impact and collide with the driving wheel, causing the driving wheel to rotate, and generating negative pressure in the feed capillary, further generating suction, so that the material in the transport inner box enters the feed capillary more smoothly. During the high-speed impact and collision process, the oily material is mixed with the water, the fat globules are broken and the first step of homogenization is completed, and any residual chlorine in the water is released.

[0023] (7) Emulsifiers and other auxiliary materials are added according to the process requirements. The auxiliary materials enter the middle section of the mixing kettle from the inside of the auxiliary material feeding pipe. The stirring rod is driven to rotate. The material and auxiliary materials after the first step of homogenization are stirred and mixed in the middle section of the mixing kettle. The oil-water mixture forms a preliminary stable system under the action of the homogenizer and emulsifier.

[0024] (8) The mixing kettle is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The booster wheel is coaxial with the driving wheel. Under the same angular velocity, a higher linear velocity is generated. The material is further homogenized and mixed in the lower section of the mixing kettle under high-speed stirring, and is injected into the bucket-shaped capillary tube after being pressurized. The kinetic energy of the material increases, and after being ejected, it hits the collision column, completing the final homogenization and forming the final product.

[0025] (9) For subsequent material processing without baking or other cooking and sterilization steps, the following methods can be used as needed. First, a heating section is installed on the outside of the bucket-shaped capillary tube to sterilize the material at high temperature. Second, while maintaining the overall system in compliance with hygiene standards, a heating section is installed on the outside of the accelerating capillary tube in the water receiving pipe to sterilize the external tap water. Third, the entire system, including the external water source, meets hygiene standards.

[0026] 1. The required food additives are only added during processing at the end of the supply chain, and the amount of food additives used can be controlled.

[0027] 2. During processing at the end of the supply chain, it is targeted at specific products, and many food additives that are required for multi-purpose use do not need to be added.

[0028] 3. When producing raw materials at the front end of the supply chain, there is no need to directly produce long-term stable emulsions. They can be produced in the form of additive-free raw materials, while lowering the standards for high-pressure homogenization, reducing energy consumption and costs.

[0029] 4. The raw materials will be used in processing soon after being processed at the end of the supply chain. There is no need to consider long-term placement and transportation. The raw materials do not need to maintain a stable emulsified state for a long time. The use of additives such as emulsifiers and stabilizers can also be reduced when processing into final products.

[0030] 5. Reduce moisture content during transportation to improve transportation efficiency, and add water during final processing to meet moisture content requirements.

[0031] 6. The inner transport box is in the shape of a cuboid, which improves the utilization of the transport space. During transportation, the inner transport boxes support each other, and during the final processing, the outer box supports the inner transport box, which offsets the structural strength advantage of the cylindrical container.

[0032] 7. The present invention has a simple structure and low cost. The crushed ice, hot water, tap water, drinking water, etc. required are all standard equipment for terminal processing points such as milk tea, cakes, and bakery shops, and no additional equipment is required.

[0033] 8. Through simple adjustments, the present invention can meet more usage scenarios and has the advantage of strong applicability.

[0034] 9. Use the pressure of tap water itself and reduce the pipe diameter to obtain high-speed water flow.

[0035] 10. Use high-speed liquid materials to impact the driving wheel, which not only breaks the fat globules, but also provides power for the rotation of the stirring rod and the booster wheel.

[0036] 11. Multiple homogenization and mixing can improve the effect of homogenization and mixing. Although it is not as good as the ultra-high pressure homogenization of the production enterprise, the final product will be used quickly and the requirements are low.

[0040] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] An example of a cream product raw material transportation and terminal processing device: like Figure 1-6 As shown: A cream product raw material transportation and terminal processing device, which consists of three parts: a transport inner box 1, an outer box 2 and a bottom processing module 3. The detachable transport inner box 1 is installed inside the outer box 2, and the bottom processing module 3 is installed at the bottom of the transport inner box 1. The transport inner box 1 is used to transport cream-related materials in various states from the factory to the end of the cream product supply chain such as bakery shops and milk tea shops; the outer box 2 is used to install and support the transport inner box 1 and adjust the temperature; the bottom processing module 3 is used to process the materials.

[0042] The transport inner box 1 is composed of an inner box shell 4 and an inner box agitator 5. The inner box shell 4 is made of a material with good heat transfer performance and sufficient strength. It is in the shape of a cuboid, with square upper and lower surfaces. The direction of the circular opening in the center is the top, and the direction of the inverted cone shape is the bottom. The four sides of the cuboid continue to extend toward the bottom and exceed the lowest point of the inverted cone. The inner box shell 4 is provided with inner box convex blocks 6 on the four sides of the top, and grooves 7 on the four sides of the bottom extension. During transportation, the grooves 7 of the transport inner box 1 located above can be stuck on the inner box convex blocks 6 of the transport inner box 1 located below. The inner box discharge port 8 is provided at the end of the bottom cone of the inner box shell 4, and is connected to the bottom processing module 3 below.

[0043] The inner box agitator 5 is composed of a disc cover 9, a rotating shaft 10, an internal support frame 11, a rotating handle 12, a swing plate 13 and a limit plate 14. The disc cover 9 covers the circular opening at the top of the inner box shell 4. A circular hole is provided in the center of the disc cover 9, and the rotating shaft 10 penetrates therein. The bottom of the rotating shaft 10 reaches the internal support frame 11 directly. The disc cover 9 and the internal support frame 11 jointly fix the rotating shaft 10 and support the rotating shaft 10 to rotate. The top of the rotating shaft 10 is slightly higher than the disc cover 9 and is provided with a rotating handle 12. The rotating shaft 10 is hingedly connected to a plurality of swing plates 13, and the swing plates 13 swing up and down with the bumps. A limit plate 14 is provided above and below each swing plate 13 to limit the angle of the swinging of the swing plate 13.

[0044] The outer box 2 is shaped like a hollow cylinder, and a support foot 15 of a certain height is provided at the bottom to support the outer box 2 and to provide space for installing the bottom processing module 3. The outer box 2 is provided with a plurality of isolation plates 16 from the outer side to the axial direction, and the width of each isolation plate 16 is controlled so that all the isolation plates 16 leave a rectangular space 17 that runs through from top to bottom along the axis line for placing and installing the transport inner box 1. A fixing plate 18 is provided between two adjacent isolation plates 16 and the bottom of the outer side between them, and an outer shell protrusion 19 is provided at the edge where the fixing plate 18 connects with the rectangular space 17, so that the groove 7 at the bottom of the installed transport inner box 1 is just stuck on the outer shell protrusion 19 to support the transport inner box 1; a flap 20 is provided on the top of two adjacent isolation plates 16, and after the transport inner box 1 is installed, an enclosed space is formed between the two adjacent isolation plates. The isolation plates 16, the fixing plates 18, and the outer side of the outer box 2 are made of materials with good thermal insulation properties and sufficient strength. The bottom processing module 3 is composed of a feed pipe 21, a flow valve 22, a feed capillary 23, a water receiving pipe 24, an accelerating capillary 25, a mixing kettle 26, a driving wheel 27, a stirring rod 28, a booster wheel 29, an auxiliary material feeding pipe 30, a bucket-shaped capillary 31, a heating section 32, a collision column 33 and a final discharge port 34.

[0045] The feed pipe 21 is connected to the inner box outlet 8. For single product demand, the flow rate only needs to be controlled by controlling the pipe diameter. For multi-purpose demand, a flow valve 22 needs to be installed on the feed pipe 21. The end of the feed pipe 21 extends obliquely downward, and the aperture is reduced to form a feed capillary 23.

[0046] The water receiving pipe 24 is used to connect to an external water source. For multi-purpose needs, a flow valve 22 needs to be installed on the water receiving pipe 23. The aperture of the rear end of the water receiving pipe 23 is reduced to form an accelerating capillary 24, which makes the water flow have greater kinetic energy. The accelerating capillary 24 is inserted into the feeding capillary 23 along the central axis.

[0047] The mixing kettle 26 is arranged vertically and is divided into three sections from top to bottom, and is shaped to be wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The mixing kettle 26 is provided with a driving wheel 27, a stirring rod 28 and a supercharging wheel 29 in sequence from top to bottom along the central axis. The driving wheel 27 is located in the upper section of the mixing kettle 26, and the feeding capillary 23 is obliquely inserted into the upper section of the mixing kettle 26. The high kinetic energy material impacts the blades of the driving wheel 27 to rotate the driving wheel. The stirring rod 28 is located in the middle section of the mixing kettle 26, is coaxial with the driving wheel 27, and is driven to rotate. The supercharging wheel 29 is located in the lower section of the mixing kettle 26, is coaxial with the driving wheel 27, and is driven to rotate. The driving shaft in the center of the upper section of the mixing kettle 26 is hollow and is an auxiliary material feeding pipe 30. After the auxiliary material is added from the top, it enters the middle section of the mixing kettle 26 along the auxiliary material feeding pipe 30. After the material is mixed under the stirring action of the stirring rod 28, it enters the lower section of the mixing kettle 26, and is pressurized by the supercharging wheel 29 and injected into the bucket-shaped capillary 31.

[0048] The heating section 32 is an electric heating device, which can be arranged outside the bucket-shaped capillary 31 and outside the accelerating capillary 25 in the water receiving pipe 24 according to the process requirements. The above capillary tubes have small diameters and high heating efficiency. The bucket-shaped capillary 31 and the accelerating capillary 25 provided with the heating section 32 can also be set in the shape of a spiral tube to increase the heating time. For product processing without sterilization or heating requirements, there is no need to set the heating section 32.

[0049] The bucket-shaped capillary tube 31 is arranged horizontally, with the interior being thicker at the front and thinner at the back. The kinetic energy of the material increases again after entering. A collision column 33 is arranged near the outlet of the end of the bucket-shaped capillary tube 31. The collision column 33 and the bucket-shaped capillary tube 31 are located on the same axis, and the ejected material hits the collision column 33. The final product flows out from the final discharge port 34.

[0050] A method for transporting raw materials and processing the final product of a cream product Example 1: Transport and final processing of animal whipping cream without additives and with a fat content of 35% (1) Whipping cream is an intermediate raw material for the processing of baked cake products. Bakeries submit orders to whipping cream factories to meet two days' usage based on their own needs. Whipping cream factories use milk as raw material and process high-fat whipping cream with a fat content of 80% by means of centrifugal separation and other methods, and then load it into transport inner box 1. No emulsifiers or other additives are artificially added. Animal cream contains natural emulsifiers such as phospholipids and sphingomyelin. The oil-water system is relatively stable, but oil-water stratification may occur if left standing for a long time.

[0051] (2) The transport inner box 1 filled with materials is loaded into a transport vehicle that meets the storage and transportation conditions. Under the action of close arrangement and slot fixation, all the transport inner boxes form a relatively unified whole. With the bumps and shakes during the transportation process, all the transport inner boxes shake more uniformly and evenly. The movement of the swing plate 13 causes the materials inside the transport inner box 1 to be continuously stirred and move up and down, delaying the oil-water stratification of the materials.

[0052] (3) After the transport vehicle arrives at the bakery, install the ordered inner transport box 1 onto the outer transport box 2, open the top flap 20 of the isolation board 16, and add appropriate amount and position of crushed ice into the enclosed space of the isolation board 16 every eight hours according to the temperature until the processing is completed to prevent spoilage and promote partial crystallization. Before processing each batch, manually shake the handle 12 and use the inner box agitator 5 to mix the internal materials.

[0053] (4) Install the bottom processing module 3 at the bottom of the transport inner box 1, and connect the water pipe 24 to tap water that meets the hygiene standards, or pressurize the direct drinking water already in the store. When assembling the equipment, customize the diameter of each pipeline, adjust the ratio of cream and water, and make the fat content of the mixture about 35%. There is no need to install the flow valve 22. Turn on the water source, and the water with a certain pressure flows through the accelerating capillary 24, which has greater kinetic energy. The high-kinetic energy water flow impacts the material in the feed capillary 23, driving the material in the feed pipe to further impact and collide with the drive wheel 27. High-fat cream is relatively viscous, but the forward water flow creates negative pressure in the feed capillary 2, generating suction, so that the material in the transport inner box enters the feed capillary more smoothly. During the high-speed impact and collision process, the fat globules of the high-fat cream are broken and the first step of homogenization is completed. If there is residual chlorine in the tap water, it is released.

[0054] (5) Without adding other auxiliary materials such as emulsifiers, the stirring rod 28 is driven to rotate, and the materials homogenized in the first step continue to be stirred and mixed in the mixing kettle 26.

[0055] (6) The mixing kettle is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The booster wheel is coaxial with the driving wheel, and a higher linear velocity is generated under the same angular velocity. The material is further homogenized and mixed in the lower section of the high-speed stirring mixing kettle 26, and is injected into the bucket-shaped capillary 31 after being pressurized. The kinetic energy of the material increases, and after being ejected, it hits the collision column 33, completing the final homogenization, and forms the final product after flowing out of the final discharge port 34.

[0056] (7) The device is cleaned and disinfected before use to ensure that the entire system meets the hygiene standards. The heating section 32 is not installed. The cream has been cooled and crystallized in the transport inner box 1. The final product can be directly used in the next whipping process in the cake shop. The product does not need to be stored for a long time, and the impact of not adding emulsifiers is small.

[0057] Example 2 of a method for transporting raw materials and final processing of cream products: transporting and final processing of cream using butter as raw material (1) The inner box agitator 5, outer box 2 and bottom processing module 3 of the transport inner box 1 are placed in the milk tea shop and cleaned and disinfected before use to ensure that the entire system meets the hygiene standards. The butter factory puts the unextruded butter into the transport inner box 1 and seals it for sterilization.

[0058] (2) After the inner transport box 1 containing butter is transported to the milk tea shop, it is installed on the outer transport box 2, and the top flap 20 of the isolation plate 16 is opened. According to the temperature, appropriate amount of hot water is added into the enclosed space of the isolation plates 16 at appropriate positions to make the temperature inside the inner transport box 1 exceed 35 degrees Celsius. After the butter is melted, the inner box agitator 5 is installed. Before processing each batch, the handle 12 is manually cranked to stir the internal materials.

[0059] (3) The bottom processing module 3 is installed at the bottom of the transport inner box 1, the water receiving pipe 24 is connected to tap water, and the flow valve 22 is set on the feed pipe 21. The flow valve can be adjusted to mix cream with any fat content. Turn on the tap water, and the tap water with a certain pressure has greater kinetic energy after passing through the acceleration capillary 24. The high-kinetic energy tap water impacts the material in the feed capillary 23, driving the material in the feed pipe to further impact and collide with the drive wheel 27. The heating section 32 is set outside the acceleration capillary 25 in the water receiving pipe 24. While further sterilizing the tap water, the high-temperature tap water can be better mixed with the butter to prevent the butter from solidifying. The forward water flow creates negative pressure in the feed capillary 2, generating suction, so that the material in the transport inner box enters the feed capillary more smoothly. During the high-speed impact and collision process, the butter fat globules are broken and the first step of homogenization is completed. If there is residual chlorine in the tap water, it will be released.

[0060] (4) Emulsifiers such as mono- and di-glycerol fatty acid esters and other required auxiliary materials are added into the middle section of the mixing kettle 26 along the auxiliary material feeding pipe 30. The stirring rod 28 is driven to rotate. The materials homogenized in the first step and auxiliary materials such as emulsifiers are stirred and mixed in the middle section of the mixing kettle 26. The oil-water mixture forms a stable system under the action of the homogenizer and emulsifier.

[0061] (5) The mixing kettle is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The booster wheel is coaxial with the driving wheel, and a higher linear velocity is generated under the same angular velocity. The material is further homogenized and mixed in the lower section of the high-speed stirring mixing kettle 26, and is injected into the bucket-shaped capillary 31 after being pressurized. The kinetic energy of the material increases, and after being ejected, it hits the collision column 33, completing the final homogenization, and forms the final product after flowing out of the final discharge port 34.

[0062] Example 3 of a method for transporting raw materials and processing the end product of a cream product: transporting and processing the end product of a milk base using non-dairy creamer as raw material (1) Milk base is the basic material for making drinks such as milk tea and coffee. In this example, non-dairy creamer is used as raw material for the transportation and final processing of milk base. The inner box agitator 5, outer box 2 and bottom processing module 3 of the transport inner box 1 are placed in the milk tea shop and cleaned and disinfected before use to keep the whole system in compliance with hygiene standards. The non-dairy creamer factory puts the non-dairy creamer without additives into the transport inner box 1.

[0063] (2) After the inner transport box 1 containing non-dairy creamer is transported to the milk tea shop, it is installed on the outer transport box 2, and the inner box agitator 5 is rotated to make it easier for it to enter the powder to complete the installation. The handle 12 is manually cranked and stirred to make the non-dairy creamer powder easier to fall into the feed pipe 21 below.

[0064] (3) A bottom processing module 3 is installed at the bottom of the inner transport box 1, and a water pipe 24 is connected to tap water. A flow valve 22 is provided on the feed pipe 21. The flow valve can be adjusted to adjust the milk base with any fat content. When the tap water is turned on, the tap water with a certain pressure passes through the acceleration capillary 24, and the tap water has greater kinetic energy. The high-kinetic energy tap water impacts the material in the feed capillary 23, driving the material in the feed pipe to further impact and collide with the drive wheel 27. A heating section 32 is provided outside the acceleration capillary 25 in the water pipe 24. While further sterilizing the tap water, the high-temperature tap water can be better mixed with the non-dairy creamer. The forward water flow creates a negative pressure in the feed capillary 2, generating suction, so that the material in the inner transport box enters the feed capillary more smoothly. The first step of homogenization is completed during the high-speed impact and collision process, and any residual chlorine in the tap water is released.

[0065] (4) A series of required auxiliary materials such as emulsifiers, thickeners, stabilizers, flavoring agents, etc. are added into the middle section of the mixing kettle 26 along the auxiliary material feeding pipe 30. The stirring rod is driven to rotate. The materials homogenized in the first step and the auxiliary materials such as emulsifiers are stirred and mixed in the middle section of the mixing kettle 26. The oil-water mixture forms a stable system under the action of the homogenizer and emulsifiers and other additives.

[0066] (5) The mixing kettle is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The booster wheel is coaxial with the driving wheel, and a higher linear velocity is generated under the same angular velocity. The material is further homogenized and mixed in the lower section of the high-speed stirring mixing kettle 26, and is injected into the bucket-shaped capillary 31 after being pressurized. The kinetic energy of the material increases, and after being ejected, it hits the collision column 33, completing the final homogenization, and forms the final product after flowing out of the final discharge port 34.

Choose whether to install a heating section on the outside of the accelerating capillary in the water pipe according to needs to sterilize the tap water or raise the tap water temperature to a suitable level. Turn on the water source. After the water source with a certain pressure passes through the accelerating capillary, the water flow has greater kinetic energy. The high-kinetic energy water flow impacts the material in the feeding capillary, driving the material in the feeding capillary to further impact and collide with the driving wheel, causing the driving wheel to rotate, and generating negative pressure in the feeding capillary, generating suction, so that the material in the transport box can enter the feeding capillary more smoothly.

The oil-water mixture produces a preliminary stable system under the action of homogenization and emulsifier. (8) The mixing kettle is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The booster wheel is coaxial with the driving wheel. Under the same angular velocity, a higher linear speed is generated. The material is further homogenized and mixed in the lower section of the high-speed stirring mixing kettle, and is injected into the bucket-shaped capillary after being pressurized.
