Its main purpose is to use high temperature to fully expand and rupture the starch in the grain, thereby promoting the gelatinization of starch. This process not only changes the starch structure, but also helps to remove impurities in the grain. The grain after steaming is more suitable for the subsequent saccharification and fermentation process, and also helps to produce flavor substances in the wine. The grain is steamed by a grain steamer. The grain steamer will be equipped with an outlet pipeline to discharge the gas in the steamer.

Of course, the driving shaft 220 and the driven shaft 230 can be respectively connected to the support seat by bearings to ensure the stability of the rotation of the steamer 100.

[0026] refer to Figure 6 and 7 The inlet pipe 300 is provided with a first pipe opening 310, and the first pipe opening 310 is located in the inner cavity of the pot body 110. The inlet pipe 300 can be used to inject steam or water into the pot body 110. The driving shaft 220 is a hollow structure, and the inlet pipe 300 passes through the driving shaft 220. There is no need to open an additional hole on the outer wall of the pot body 110 for the inlet pipe 300 to pass through, making the rotary grain steaming device more compact. The first pipe opening 310 penetrates into the inner cavity of the pot body 110 from the bottom of the pot body 110.

The driven shaft 230 is a hollow structure, and the outlet pipe 400 passes through the driven shaft 230. There is no need to open an additional hole in the outer wall of the pot body 110 for the outlet pipe 400 to pass through, so that the rotary grain steaming device has a more compact structure. The outlet pipe 400 is rotatably connected to the driven shaft 230.

[0028] Grain is injected into the pot body 110 from the opening, and the pot cover 120 covers the pot body 110. The air in the pot body 110 is discharged through the outlet pipe 400, and steam is injected into the pot body 110 through the inlet pipe 300. The rotating assembly 200 is activated to drive the steamer 100 to rotate, thereby ensuring the uniformity of steaming grain. After the grain is steamed, the steamer 100 is inverted so that the opening is downward, and the gas in the steamer 100 is discharged through the outlet pipe 400 to reduce the pressure in the steamer 100 and prevent the residual pressure in the steamer 100 from causing safety hazards when discharging the material. The pot cover 120 is opened, and the grain in the steamer 100 is discharged from the opening of the steamer 100 under the action of its own gravity. Water can be sprayed into the inner cavity of the steamer 100 through the inlet pipe 300 to prevent the inner wall of the steamer 100 from being stained with grain.

[0029] During the grain steaming process, the inlet pipe 300 can be used to spray water on the grain in the pot body 110 to prevent the grain from agglomerating.
