Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fermentation boxes, in particular to a heat-insulating fermentation box for noodle production. Background Art

[0002] Vermicelli is a traditional local noodle dish in Fujian. It is made of high-quality flour and salt and other auxiliary materials. It is white in color, fine and even in texture, soft and smooth in texture, and not mushy in soup. It is fragrant and delicious. The production process of vermicelli involves nine steps, including rolling, pounding, squeezing, rubbing, and pulling. Its unique soft taste is inseparable from its production process.

[0003] In the production process of noodle, the fermentation of dough is an indispensable process. Regarding the fermentation of noodle dough. In the Chinese patent application disclosure specification CN210869657U, a heat preservation fermentation and proofing box for noodle production is disclosed. It overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art that the proofing process of simply leaving the dough in the air is not only long and inefficient, but also difficult to reduce the risk of bacterial growth. It arranges upper connecting rods and lower connecting rods on three rotating shafts, and arranges sockets on the connecting rods, so that the push-pull rod of the noodle can be inserted into the sockets for rotation, so that the noodles can evenly feel the temperature changes, which is convenient for uniform and efficient proofing.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned dough proofing box is not suitable for large-scale dough processing. Since the dough for processing vermicelli requires a short proofing time, a long proofing time will seriously affect the taste of the finished product. If the proofing time is short, it will not meet the process requirements, so it is necessary to accurately control the proofing time of the dough. In the batch dough proofing process, the time when multiple batches of dough enter the dough proofing box is different, and the time they are taken out is also different. Since too much time will be wasted in the storage and retrieval process, the dough proofing time will be inaccurate, which will affect the proofing quality. In addition, the dough is prone to confusion and errors when it is stored and retrieved. If it is not reminded in time, the dough will be proofed for too long and not taken out, which will cause the dough fermentation timeout, and it will be difficult to use for vermicelli production, resulting in a waste of raw materials. To this end, we provide a heat preservation and fermentation proofing box for vermicelli production to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to make up for the shortcomings of the prior art and to provide a heat-insulating fermentation and proofing box for noodle production.
