AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing high-temperature sterilization equipment for apricot pulp processing suffers from slow flow rate in the central area of the apricot pulp, making it difficult for heat to be transferred quickly and resulting in incomplete sterilization.

Method used

It adopts a dual internal and external heat exchange structure and a serpentine sterilization pipeline design, combined with internal and external heating chambers and internal and external heat exchange components to form a stepped temperature processing flow. Stable circulation and temperature control are achieved through a circulating pump and controller. The inner tube rotates back and forth to stir the apricot pulp, ensuring uniform heat transfer.

Benefits of technology

The sterilization temperature in the central area of the apricot pulp was increased, which improved the sterilization effect, protected the nutrients and original flavor of the apricot pulp, prevented denaturation and scorching, and extended the operational stability and lifespan of the equipment.

Abstract

This invention discloses a high-temperature sterilization device for apricot pulp processing based on heat exchange, relating to the field of high-temperature sterilization technology. It includes a mounting frame with a preheating tank, a high-temperature tank, a cooling tank, and a cooling tank arranged horizontally and vertically downwards. The preheating tank preheats the apricot pulp, the high-temperature tank sterilizes it at high temperatures, the cooling tank initially cools the sterilized apricot pulp, and the cooling tank further cools the initially cooled apricot pulp. Each of the preheating, high-temperature, cooling, and cooling tanks includes an outer tank. Through a dual internal and external heat exchange structure and a serpentine sterilization pipeline, a stepped temperature processing flow is formed. The four-stage processing flow—preheating, high-temperature sterilization, initial cooling, and cooling—avoids localized overheating caused by the apricot pulp directly entering a high-temperature environment, reducing apricot pulp denaturation and coking, protecting the nutritional components and original flavor of the apricot pulp, ensuring heat exchange efficiency, preventing heat exchange tube blockage, and extending the equipment's operational stability.
