Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline structures, in particular to a pipeline structure and a material processing system. Background Art
[0002] In food processing, it is usually necessary to use a homogenizer to make the product into a uniformly emulsified state or an evenly dispersed state, and pressurize it so that the discharged liquid reaches a preset pressure. The homogenizer is connected with a feed pipe and a discharge pipe to realize the inflow and outflow of the material in the homogenizer. In order to ensure production safety, it is usually necessary to install a safety valve on the discharge pipe. When the discharge valve of the discharge pipe is not opened or the discharge pipe is blocked, causing the pressure in the discharge pipe to increase, the safety valve pops open and discharges the liquid in the discharge pipe to relieve pressure. The directly discharged liquid will be contaminated by the outside world and cannot be reused, resulting in a waste of raw materials and increased production costs. Utility Model Content
