Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oil crystallization equipment, in particular to a production device for high melting point butter products. Background Art

[0002] Butter is a raw material. In order to facilitate transportation and storage, butter needs to be cooled and crystallized after refining to change it from liquid to solid and then stored. The existing butter crystallization is carried out in the tank body. A stirring paddle is set in the tank body. By cooling the tank body, the temperature of the butter is reduced with the stirring paddle, so that it can be crystallized. However, this method of crystallizing butter generally takes more than 20 hours, which is at least inefficient. The main reason is that the existing tank body is generally cylindrical, with a large amount of oil and fat stored inside, and a small area for heating or cooling, resulting in low heat transfer efficiency of temperature control. In addition, the butter in the tank body needs to be fully crystallized before it is considered complete. However, the butter that has been crystallized in the tank body will affect the crystallization state of the butter that has not yet crystallized, and the stirring paddle has a certain destructive effect on the initial crystals of the butter. In addition, the existing butter is easily softened, melted, and sticky in the summer due to the influence of temperature. In order to improve the texture of the butter, it is necessary to separate the high melting point combination in the butter for crystallization to ensure the temperature resistance of the butter, but the existing butter crystallization equipment is still difficult to complete this operation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a production device for a high melting point butter product, which can separate high temperature resistant components in the butter and shorten the crystallization time of the butter, thereby improving the efficiency of the butter crystallization.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A production device for a high-melting-point butter product comprises a shell, a crystallization plate and a crystallization filter cloth. A feed pipe is provided on the top of one side of the shell. A plurality of the crystallization plates are staggeredly installed in the shell along the height direction to form a serpentine channel for the flow of butter. A crystallization filter cloth is installed in each crystallization plate. A discharge pipe is provided on the shell below the lowest crystallization plate. A heater is connected to the end of the discharge pipe. The heater is connected to the feed pipe through a circulation pipeline. A temporary storage tank and a circulation pump are installed in sequence along the flow direction of the butter. The temporary storage tank is hollow. A water storage tank is installed outside the shell. A heat exchange pipeline connected to the bottom of each crystallization plate is provided on the water storage tank. A heat exchanger and a water pump are installed in sequence along the flow direction of water.

[0006] The crystal filter cloth is processed with crystal pores of 5 to 20 μm.

[0007] The heat exchange pipes are closely arranged below the crystallization plate.

[0008] The production device of high melting point butter product provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0009] (1) By providing a crystallization plate and a crystallization filter cloth placed inside the crystallization plate, the high melting point components in the butter can be quickly crystallized and gathered on the crystallization filter cloth under the action of the heat exchange pipe, and the products with lower melting points return to the temporary storage tank. Compared with the traditional crystallization tank, the contact area between the butter and the heat exchanger can be greatly increased. At the same time, the circulation flow replaces the fixed stirring, so that similar components in the oil are more easily in contact, so that the crystallized part continues to grow, which greatly improves the crystallization speed of the butter;

[0010] (2) By setting up a heat exchanger and a heat exchange pipe, the cooling water temperature can be accurately controlled to separate the high melting point butter, so as to avoid the butter becoming soft, oily, or sticky in the bag in summer;

[0011] (3) By setting up a crystallization filter cloth, the speed of oil crystal nucleus formation can be increased with the cooperation of crystallization holes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model, the drawings required for use in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. It should be understood that the following drawings only show certain embodiments of the utility model and therefore should not be regarded as limiting the scope. For ordinary technicians in this field, other relevant drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.

[0015] Example

[0016] like Figure 1As shown, the production device of the high melting point butter product provided in this embodiment includes a shell 1, a crystallization plate 2 and a crystallization filter cloth 3. A feed pipe 4 is provided on the top of one side of the shell 1. A plurality of the crystallization plates 2 are horizontally staggered and installed in the shell 1 along the height direction to form a serpentine channel for the flow of butter. A crystallization filter cloth 3 is installed in each crystallization plate 2. The crystallization filter cloth 3 is processed with crystallization holes of 5 to 20 μm. The efficiency of the formation of oil crystal nuclei can be improved through the crystallization holes. A discharge pipe 5 is provided on the shell 1 below the lowest crystallization plate 2. A heater 6 is connected to the end of the discharge pipe 5. The heater 6 controls the butter to quickly heat up to above 70°C to prevent the butter passing through the crystallization plate 2 from solidifying and causing blockage of the flow channel. The heater 6 is connected to the feed pipe 4 through a circulation pipe 7. The circulation pipe 7 is sequentially installed with temporary storage tanks 8 along the flow direction of the butter. and a circulation pump 9, the temporary storage tank 8 is hollow, and a medium circulation device capable of controlling the temperature is installed in the hollow layer of the temporary storage tank 8. The medium circulation device belongs to the prior art, so it will not be described here in detail. The medium circulation device can ensure the fluidity of the butter in the temporary storage tank 8. Under the action of the circulation pump 9, the butter in the temporary storage tank 8 can be quickly fed into the feed pipe 4 for circulation crystallization. A water storage tank 10 is installed outside the shell 1, and a heat exchange pipe 11 connected to the bottom of each crystallization plate 2 is provided on the water storage tank 10. A heat exchanger 12 and a water pump 13 are installed in sequence on the heat exchange pipe 11 along the water flow direction. The heat exchange pipe 11 is closely arranged under the crystallization plate 2 to ensure that the temperature can be quickly transferred. The heat exchanger 12 sets the water temperature of the water storage tank 10 for regulating the working temperature of the water temperature. Under the action of the water pump 13, the crystallization plate 2 is heat exchanged and cooled.

[0017] The method of using the utility model is:

[0018] The raw material butter is sent to the temporary storage tank 8, and the butter is heated to 65±2°C. Then, the flowing butter is pumped to the feed pipe 4 through the circulation pump 9, so that the butter flows along the staggered crystallization plates 2. At the same time, the heat exchanger 12 adjusts the temperature of the water to 45±1°C, and the water pump 13 drives the water to control the temperature of the crystallization plates 2, so that the butter is quickly cooled down, and the high melting point combination in the butter is quickly crystallized and gathered on the butter clean cloth, and the lower melting point product flows to the discharge pipe 5. Under the action of the heater 6, the outflowing butter is heated again to ensure its fluidity so that it can be temporarily stored in the tank 8. The above process is repeated until the high melting point butter is crystallized. After completion, the circulation pipeline 7 loop is closed, and the temperature of the crystallization plate 2 is raised to 100°C through the heat exchanger 12 to quickly melt the crystallized butter part. After it is melted, it is collected to obtain a high melting point butter product. Such butter will not become soft, melt, or stick to the bag when it encounters a high temperature after crystallization.

[0019] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modification and replacement based on the technical solution and the utility model concept provided by the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention. It should be noted that the structures or components illustrated in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, and the present invention omits the description of known components and processing technologies and processes to avoid unnecessary limitations on the present invention.
