Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a food puffing tray. Background Art

[0002] Puffed food is made from fruits, vegetables, grains or beans as the main raw materials, and is made through a puffing process to significantly increase the volume. It is a kind of snack food with a certain degree of puffing, crispy texture, fragrant aroma and various styles.

[0003] Puffing tanks are often used in food puffing processing. The basic principle of puffing drying is to heat and pressurize the raw materials in the heating chamber (puffing tank) with the help of energy provided by the outside world, and the moisture inside the raw material tissue is vaporized by heat; the pressure is suddenly released and the temperature is lowered, so that the material tissue structure is "burst", expanding instantly, and forming a honeycomb tissue with network structure characteristics.

[0004] When processing puffed food, it is necessary to first place the fruit and vegetable materials on a tray, and then place the tray in the puffing tank for puffing. During the material processing, the instantaneous pressure relief in the puffing tank will have a certain impact on the materials in the tray in the tank, causing part of the materials to splash out of the tray and fall into the condensed water at the bottom of the puffing tank, resulting in product waste, reducing the product yield and causing economic losses; in addition, the materials that fall into the condensed water at the bottom of the tank will absorb water, foam, and turn brown. If they are not cleaned in time, these materials will further become moldy, pollute the environment in the tank, and cause food safety problems. At the same time, it also increases the workload of operators in cleaning the puffing tank. Utility Model Content
