Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a butter preheating tank. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of society, people's requirements for quality of life are constantly improving, and their pursuit of various delicacies is constantly updating; among them, animal fats are white in color, have no smell, contain a variety of fatty acids, and are rich in nutrients. They are widely used in the food industry; because butter is easy to solidify at room temperature, especially in a low temperature environment, it usually appears in a solid state and is not convenient for uniform mixing. Therefore, in the processing and production process, in order to smoothly and evenly add butter, the butter needs to be preheated to melt the solidified butter into a liquid state with good fluidity.
[0003] In the prior art butter heating tank, the heating plate is fixed at the bottom, so that the butter can only be gradually melted from the bottom. The frozen butter will first melt into a solid-liquid mixed state, and the solid butter will float on the liquid butter. This will result in the solid butter being unable to directly contact the heating plate, and the liquid butter is required to transfer the temperature to the solid butter. Therefore, the overall melting efficiency of the butter is low. Utility Model Content
