Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of dried fruit production, and in particular relates to steam equipment for dried fruit production. Background Art
[0002] Dried fruits are made from green food fruits. They are dehydrated and dried without being candied. During the production of dried fruits, steam equipment is needed to blanch the fruits (blanching can passivate enzymes that have an adverse effect on product quality, reduce the number of microorganisms, remove oxygen from tissues, and prepare for further processing).
[0003] Chinese patent CN217929471U discloses steam equipment for producing and processing dried fruits, including an oven and a steam barrel, wherein the steam barrel is located at the rear of the oven, a water inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the upper end of the steam barrel, a connecting pipe is fixedly installed at the upper end of the steam barrel located in front of the water inlet pipe, and one end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to an induced draft fan.
[0004] In the above patent, steam is sent into the oven through an induced draft fan to blanch the fruit. Due to the lack of a mechanism for guiding the steam, the steam cannot be evenly distributed in the oven (under the action of the induced draft fan, there is less steam on both sides of the connection between the connecting pipe and the oven), which will make the blanching degree of the fruit in different areas different, which is not conducive to controlling the blanching degree of the fruit. At the same time, boiling water is introduced into the oven interlayer through the water inlet and the water outlet to improve the blanching effect. Due to the lack of a boiling water circulation mechanism, in order to ensure the blanching effect, the boiling water needs to be replaced frequently, which is time-consuming. Therefore, a technical measure is proposed to solve the problem that the lack of a mechanism for guiding the steam will make the blanching degree of the fruit in different areas different, which is not conducive to controlling the blanching degree of the fruit, and the lack of a boiling water circulation mechanism requires frequent replacement of the boiling water, which is time-consuming.
