Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bone broth technology, and particularly relates to an energy-saving concentrated spray granulator for bone broth with an anti-sticking wall structure and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Bone broth seasoning is a compound seasoning made primarily from animal bones such as beef, pork, and chicken, combined with spices, flavor enhancers, and other auxiliary ingredients. It is produced through processes such as crushing, extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis, and simmering. Rich in nutrients such as collagen, amino acids, and calcium, it can impart a rich and mellow meat and bone aroma and flavor to soups and dishes, and is widely used in the catering, food processing, and other fields.

[0003] Concentrating and granulating bone broth is primarily driven by several needs: First, it reduces volume and increases efficiency. Concentration removes a significant amount of water from the broth, resulting in a substantial reduction in volume after granulation, thus lowering storage and transportation costs and improving space utilization. Second, it stabilizes quality. Concentration and granulation reduce the contact between the broth and air and moisture, inhibiting microbial growth, delaying oxidation and spoilage, and extending the product's shelf life. Third, it facilitates use. Granulated bone broth is precisely measured and dissolves quickly, allowing for rapid restoration of the broth's flavor without complex mixing, meeting the high-efficiency needs of both industrial production and home cooking. Fourth, it standardizes production. The concentration and granulation process allows for precise control of component ratios, ensuring consistent flavor and nutrition across batches and guaranteeing quality stability.

[0004] In the granulation production of concentrated bone broth, the granulator is an indispensable core piece of equipment. Existing granulators generally have a heating module installed in the extrusion granulation box to preheat the bone broth, thereby improving the plasticity and flowability of the material and creating favorable conditions for the subsequent granulation process. However, these granulators generally have the shortcoming of limited functionality, lacking the crucial spray drying function. They cannot complete the drying process simultaneously after the bone broth is granulated, which may affect the stability and quality of the finished granules due to untimely drying. Summary of the Invention

[0017] To further understand the invention's content, features, and effects, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0018] The structure of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides an energy-saving concentrated spray granulator for bone broth with an anti-sticking structure, comprising: a base 1 and a frame 2 mounted on the upper side of the base 1; a mixing chamber 3 mounted on the frame 2; a granulation chamber 4 mounted on the upper side of the base 1 and located below the mixing chamber 3, and communicating with the mixing chamber 3; a heating module mounted on the mixing chamber 3 and the granulation chamber 4; a granulation assembly mounted inside the mixing chamber 3 and the granulation chamber 4 for granulating concentrated bone broth; and a collection assembly mounted on one side of the granulation chamber 4.

[0020] Using the above scheme: When it is necessary to granulate the bone broth, the concentrated bone broth enters the mixing chamber 3 from the top feed port. The granulation component in the mixing chamber 3 rotates, and the heating module on the mixing chamber 3 heats it at a low temperature. The granulation component initially stirs the bone broth, heating it to a thick consistency. Then, the bone broth enters the granulation chamber 4, where the heating module heats it at a high temperature to further increase its consistency. The granulation component in the granulation chamber 4 extrudes the bone broth step by step to complete the granulation. Spray drying is carried out simultaneously during the granulation process. Finally, the granulated bone broth is collected by the collection component.

[0021] It should be noted that the heating module is existing technology and can be used directly, while the specific installation location can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0022] Furthermore, the granulation assembly includes: a first rotating shaft 5 rotatably connected to the mixing tank 3; a plurality of stirring blades 6 are fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 5; a first motor 7 is mounted on the frame 2; and a first transmission component 8 is installed between the output end of the first motor 7 and the first rotating shaft 5.

[0023] Furthermore, a plurality of symmetrically arranged first fixing tubes 9 are fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 5, and a first connecting rod 10 is slidably connected inside the first fixing tube 9; a spring 11 is fixedly connected between the first connecting rod 10 and the first fixing tube 9, and a scraper 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting rod 10 away from the spring 11, and the scraper 12 is attached to the mixing tank body 3.

[0024] Furthermore, a second rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected inside the granulation box 4; a spiral blade 14 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 13; a second motor 15 is installed on the base 1; and a second transmission component 16 is installed between the second motor 15 and the second rotating shaft 13.

[0025] Furthermore, a shell 17 is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the granulation box 4; a fixed toothed disc assembly 18 is installed inside the shell 17, and a granulation disc 19 is fixedly connected to the side of the discharge end of the shell 17 near the fixed toothed disc assembly 18.

[0026] Furthermore, a shearing block 20 that cooperates with the fixed toothed disc assembly 18 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 13, a shearing blade 21 that cooperates with the granulation disc 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 13, and a spray drying unit 22 is installed on the housing 17.

[0027] Using the above scheme: In use, after the bone broth enters through the feed inlet at the top of the mixing chamber 3, the output end of the first motor 7 rotates, driving the first rotating shaft 5 to rotate through the first transmission component 8. This causes the stirring blades 6 to stir the thick bone broth. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the first rotating shaft 5 causes the first connecting rod 10 to slide inside the first fixed tube 9 and pull the spring 11, causing the scraper 12 to adhere to the inner wall of the mixing chamber 3 and scrape off the bone broth. After the bone broth reaches a certain consistency, it enters the granulation chamber 4. The output end of the second motor 15 rotates, driving the second transmission component 8 to rotate the first rotating shaft 5. The component 16 drives the second rotating shaft 13 to rotate, causing the spiral blades 14 to transport and pressurize the bone broth material, pushing it to the forming area of ​​the granulation disc 19. The bone broth material enters the fixed toothed disc assembly 18 of the shell 17, and is pre-dispersed, homogenized, and sheared step by step under the action of the shearing block 20 and the fixed toothed disc assembly 18. After breaking the agglomerates, it enters the forming hole of the granulation disc 19 evenly. The continuous strip-shaped wet granules extruded by the granulation disc 19 are cut into short granules by the shearing blade 21. At the same time, after being cut into granules, the spray drying unit 22 sprays hot gas to dry the granules.

[0028] Its beneficial effects are: During the mixing stage, the scraper 12 prevents the bone broth from sticking to the wall; during the granulation stage, the spiral blade 14 solves the problem of poor fluidity and difficulty in conveying the bone broth paste; the shearing block 20 improves the plasticity and uniformity of the material, avoids local accumulation and uneven molding; the shearing blade 21 cuts the strip-shaped particles into uniform short particles; and the spray drying unit 22 achieves particle drying.

[0029] It should be noted that: First, the spiral blades 14 contact the inner wall of the granulation box 4, thus preventing sticking. Second, the spray drying unit 22 consists of a high-efficiency heater, a hot air distributor, a spray pipeline, and an annular spray nozzle. The spray pipeline and annular spray nozzle are installed on the housing 17 on the side where the granulation disc 19 discharges, while the high-efficiency heater and hot air distributor can be installed on the base 1. Third, the first transmission component 8 and the second transmission component 16 consist of a protective shell and a belt drive structure disposed within the protective shell.

[0030] Furthermore, the collection assembly includes: a baffle 23 fixedly connected to the discharge port of the housing 17, a rubber sleeve 24 sleeved on the housing 17, and the rubber sleeve 24 connected to the housing 17 by bolts 25.

[0031] Furthermore, the bottom of the rubber sleeve 24 is connected to a collection bag 26.

[0032] Using the above scheme: When in use, a rubber sleeve 24 is fitted at the discharge port of the shell 17 and the rubber sleeve 24 is fixed by bolts 25. When the sheared bone broth particles are discharged from one side of the shell 17, the particles are blocked by the baffle 23 and the particles enter the collection bag 26 under the action of the baffle 23.

[0033] A method for using an energy-saving concentrated spray granulator for bone broth, comprising the following steps: Step S1, feeding: The concentrated bone broth enters the mixing chamber 3 from the top feed port of the mixing chamber 3; Step S2, preliminary heating and stirring: the granulation component in the stirring box 3 rotates, and at the same time the heating module on the stirring box 3 heats at a low temperature to perform preliminary stirring of the bone broth, so that it is initially heated and forms a thick consistency; Step S3: Transfer material, heat up and concentrate. The bone broth enters the granulation box 4, where the heating module on the granulation box 4 heats it at a high temperature to further increase the viscosity of the bone broth. Step S4, stepwise extrusion granulation: the granulation components in the granulation box 4 extrude the bone broth material stepwise to complete the granulation, and spray drying is carried out simultaneously during the granulation process. Step S5: Collect the granules by collecting the granulated bone broth through the collection component.

[0034] Working principle of the invention: When granulation of the bone broth is required, a rubber sleeve 24 is fitted onto the discharge port of the shell 17 and fixed with bolts 25. After the bone broth enters from the feed inlet at the top of the mixing chamber 3, the output end of the first motor 7 rotates, driving the first rotating shaft 5 to rotate via the first transmission component 8. This causes the stirring blades 6 to stir the thick bone broth. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the first rotating shaft 5 causes the first connecting rod 10 to slide inside the first fixed tube 9 and pull the spring 11, causing the scraper 12 to adhere to the inner wall of the mixing chamber 3 and scrape off the bone broth. After the bone broth reaches a certain consistency, it enters the granulation chamber 4, where the output end of the second motor 15 rotates, driving the second rotating shaft 5 via the second transmission component 16. The shaft 13 rotates, causing the spiral blades 14 to convey and pressurize the bone broth, pushing it to the forming area of ​​the granulation disc 19. The bone broth enters the fixed toothed disc assembly 18 of the shell 17, and is pre-dispersed, homogenized, and sheared step by step under the action of the shearing block 20 and the fixed toothed disc assembly 18. After breaking down the agglomerates, it enters the forming hole of the granulation disc 19 evenly. The continuous strip-shaped wet granules extruded from the granulation disc 19 are cut into short granules by the shearing blade 21. At the same time, after being cut into granules, the spray drying unit 22 sprays hot gas to dry the granules. When the sheared bone broth granules are discharged from one side of the shell 17, they are blocked by the baffle 23, so that the granules enter the collection bag 26 under the action of the baffle 23.
