Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tofu production and processing, and in particular to tofu residue slurry residue separation equipment and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Tofu sludge refers to the residue remaining after filtering out the soy milk during the process of making tofu or soy milk. Specifically, tofu sludge is the solid residue obtained by filtering the soy milk when making soy milk, usually called dregs. The impurities and coarse dregs in the soy milk can be removed by sludge separation equipment, making the tofu taste more delicate and tender. In addition, the separated soy milk is purer, which is conducive to the coagulation and molding of tofu, thereby improving the quality of tofu.

However, the screen is easily clogged after being used for a period of time, and some small particles of dregs are easily retained by the filter, resulting in an insufficient separation effect. In addition, additional manpower is required to clean the filter, which reduces the separation efficiency. Summary of the invention
