Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a drying device for processing supplementary food for infants and young children. Background Art

[0002] Infant rice flour is a supplementary food for infant nutrition when breast milk or infant formula cannot meet the nutritional needs of infants and during the weaning period. It is a supplementary food for infants made from millet and rice as the main raw materials, with selective ingredients such as white sugar, vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat, and added with minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and vitamins. The processing technology of infant rice flour is mainly divided into wet process and dry process. The wet process includes: soaking rice, beating, batching, homogenization, drying, crushing, flaking, packaging, etc. The main drying process uses a drum dryer. Its working principle is to use heat from the inner wall of the drum to its outer wall, passing through the dried food material attached to the outer wall of the drum to evaporate the moisture on the material. It is a continuous drying production machinery. The dried rice flour slurry adheres to the drum, and the rice flour is scraped off by a scraper and sent to the next process. The existing scraper is fixedly installed, and the distance between the scraper head and the roller is difficult to control. If the distance is too large, the rice noodles will not be scraped cleanly and the production efficiency will be low. If the distance is too small, the friction between the roller and the scraper will be large, which will not only cause wear to the scraper, but also affect the normal rotation of the roller. In addition, uneven slurry loading will also cause thicker areas to not be fully dried, affecting product quality. Utility Model Content
