Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of syrup production, in particular to a flavor syrup production and concentration system. Background Art

[0002] The concentration of flavored syrup has always been the most important part of the flavored syrup production process. If the concentration time of flavored syrup is too long, it will lead to problems such as thermal decomposition of sugar flavor substances and discoloration of syrup. Therefore, in the production process, the concentration efficiency is generally improved as much as possible, the concentration temperature is lowered, and the concentration time is shortened to ensure the quality of flavored syrup production.

[0003] In the prior art, a scraper evaporator is usually used to concentrate flavored syrups. This evaporator uses a straight scraper. The disadvantage is that as the concentration process of the flavored syrup progresses, the concentration increases, and the syrup cannot be uniformly filmed on the inner wall of the evaporator, which affects the concentration efficiency. In addition, directly pouring the flavored syrup also makes it difficult to stir the scraper, which is not conducive to film formation. In addition, after the production is completed, the cleaning of the equipment is not in place, which easily causes contamination of the next batch. Therefore, a dedicated flavored syrup concentration system is urgently needed to ensure the smooth progress of the concentration process and ensure the quality of the product. Utility Model Content

The rotating scraper cylinder 5 is driven to rotate by the hollow rotating shaft 7, and the syrup flowing down the inner wall can be more evenly smeared into a thin film driven by the arc-shaped corrugated plates 6. Compared with the straight scraper of the traditional scraper evaporator, the rotating scraper cylinder 5 of the utility model adopts a cylindrical structure of multiple groups of arc-shaped corrugated plates 6, which can enable the syrup to be continuously and evenly smeared on the wall, further forming a thin film with uniform texture, greatly improving the evaporation efficiency.

[0023] A jacket 2 is provided outside the concentrator body 1 , a steam inlet 10 is provided at the top of the jacket 2 , and a drain outlet 11 is provided at the bottom. Steam enters the jacket 2 from the steam inlet 10 , evaporates and concentrates the syrup, and is discharged from the drain outlet 11 .

[0024] The concentrator body 1 is provided with a thermometer socket 12 for assembling a thermometer to detect the concentrating temperature.

[0025] A discharge port 13 is provided at the bottom of the concentrator body 1 , and the concentrated syrup is collected at the bottom and discharged from the discharge port 13 after concentration is completed.

[0026] The top of the concentrator body 1 is connected to a condenser 14, and the condenser 14 is also connected to a receiving tank 15. The condenser 14 is provided with a refrigerant inlet 14a, a refrigerant outlet 14b, an evaporation solvent inlet 14c, and a cooling material outlet.

The evaporated solvent in the concentrator body 1 enters the condenser 14 through the circulation pipe 16, and is collected in the receiving tank 15 after cooling. The condenser 14 is also provided with a vacuum interface 17, and the vacuum interface 17 is connected to a vacuum pump to extract air and drive the evaporated solvent to enter the condenser 14 for condensation.

[0027] In addition, not shown in the figure, the hollow rotating shaft 7 is also connected to a water supply device, which includes a water pipe rotatably sealed and connected to the bottom of the hollow rotating shaft 7, and the water pipe is connected to an external water source through a water pump, and is used to pump water into the hollow rotating shaft 7.

When the operation starts, the vacuum pump connected to the vacuum interface 17 is turned on, the condenser 14 is turned on to deliver the refrigerant, and steam is introduced into the jacket 2. After the thermometer displays the specified temperature, the flavor syrup to be concentrated is fed into the concentrator body 1 from the feed port 3, and the syrup is evenly sprayed on the wall through the arc-shaped flow distributor 4, so that the syrup is initially formed into a film on the wall. When the initially formed film syrup flows down the wall, the motor 19 drives the hollow shaft 7 to rotate, driving the rotating scraper cylinder 5 to rotate, and under the action of the arc-shaped corrugated plate 6, the syrup flowing down the wall can be continuously and evenly smeared on the wall, further forming a uniform film, and performing rapid evaporation and concentration.

[0031] The concentrated flavor syrup is collected at the bottom of the concentrator body 1, and is discharged from the discharge port 13 when the whole batch concentration is completed. During the concentration process, the evaporated solvent in the concentrator body 1 is discharged from the circulation pipe 16, cooled by the condenser 14, and collected in the receiving tank 15.

[0032] After the concentration is completed, a certain amount of washing water is added to the concentrator body 1 through the feed port 3, and the water pump is started at the same time to send the water into the hollow shaft 7 through the water pipe and spray it out through the spray nozzle 18.
