Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of candy production and processing, and in particular to a boiling stirring device for gel candy production and a stirring process thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of gel candy, boiling is one of the key processes. The traditional boiling stirring device usually adopts a fixed stirring structure, and the position and shape of the stirring part (such as a paddle or a scraper) cannot be dynamically adjusted during the boiling process. When the liquid level is high and the steam pressure is high at the beginning of boiling, the fixed stirring range can still meet the demand; but as the boiling proceeds, the liquid level drops significantly and the steam pressure decreases due to evaporation of water, and the fixed stirrer cannot reach the bottom area, which may cause the following problems: Firstly, after the liquid level drops, the stirring part cannot effectively cover the bottom of the tank, the material is unevenly heated, and local high temperature may cause bottom burning and coking; Secondly, high-viscosity gel materials have poor flowability at low liquid levels, and the fixed stirring range causes material stratification or local deposition; Finally, the traditional wall scraping mechanism is mostly designed statically or adjusted manually, and cannot respond to changes in liquid level in real time, making it difficult to remove residual materials from the side wall and the bottom of the tank.

[0003] Although the existing improved scheme (such as adding a liftable stirring shaft) can partially alleviate the problems, it still relies on external sensors or manual control, and the structure is complex and the response is lagging. For example, some devices use a liquid level sensor to trigger the motor to adjust the stirring height, but there are problems such as high failure rate of electrical systems in high temperature and high humidity environments and high maintenance costs. In addition, the change in steam pressure, as a physical quantity directly reflecting the boiling process, has not been effectively used to drive the self-adaptive adjustment of the stirring mechanism in the existing technology.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can automatically adjust the height, shape and wall scraping action of the stirring part based on the linkage mechanism of the liquid level drop and the steam pressure change during the boiling process, to solve the industry-wide problems of bottom burning and uneven mixing.
