Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, and in particular to a mobile pasteurization tank. Background Art

[0002] Pasteurization is a commonly used method of food sterilization. It can preserve the flavor of food while killing most harmful bacteria. Pasteurization uses suitable temperature. When pasteurization is used in industry, the amount of food processed at one time is relatively large. The heating components need a relatively long time to allow the food to reach a suitable sterilization temperature. The heating components usually cannot be in direct contact with the food. Inevitably, a lot of heat will be lost during the heating process. Therefore, the energy consumption is relatively high during pasteurization. Moreover, since a small amount of live bacteria will remain after the food is sterilized, the shelf life of pasteurized food is significantly shorter than that of other foods.

A discharge pipe 603 is arranged at the bottom of the hemispherical portion 602, and the liquid in the liner 6 can be discharged therefrom. The discharge pipe 603 passes through the heat shield 9 and the base 5 and is provided with a valve body 604 for controlling the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 603 and controlling the discharge speed of the discharge pipe 603.

[0031] The lower end of the shell 3 is fixedly connected to a base 5, and the base 5 is provided with a through hole 501 that passes through the upper and lower surfaces for the discharge pipe 603 to pass through, thereby connecting with an external pipeline. The lower surface of the base 5 is fixedly connected to a supporting foot 502, which is used to allow the lower end of the discharge pipe 603 to have a certain height of the placement surface, thereby reserving sufficient installation space for the external pipeline.

[0032] Working principle: When the sterilization tank is in use, first open the cover 1 and pour the liquid to be sterilized into the inner tank 6 through the feed port 201, then set the temperature on the touch screen 4, and the electric heating coil 7 will be energized to heat the inner tank 6 until the stable sensor in the inner tank 6 detects that the temperature reaches the set value. The electric heating coil 7 will reduce the output power to make the liquid in the inner tank 6 within the most suitable temperature range for sterilization. In this process, the heat insulation board 8 and the heat insulation cover 9 structure can reduce heat loss through reflection and heat insulation, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the electric heating coil 7, having better energy-saving characteristics, and being more suitable for use on outdoor mobile dining vehicles.
