Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fermentation tanks, and in particular to a tomato juice fermentation tank. Background Art

[0002] A fermenter is an external environment device in which microorganisms grow, reproduce and form products during the fermentation process. It replaces traditional fermentation containers and plays an important role in continuous large-scale production and improving output and yield.

[0003] In recent years, China's bio-fermentation process technology and equipment levels have made great progress, but the fermentation tanks have been the same for decades, using standard mechanical stirring and ventilated fermentation tanks. Many factories are still using pure runoff stirring systems and tubular distributors, which generally have disadvantages such as high energy consumption, low dissolved oxygen rate, and low substrate conversion rate.

[0004] In addition, with the application of new industrial fermentation technologies, large-container fermentation tanks have been widely promoted. Foam appears during the fermentation process, which often has an adverse effect on production. Due to the barrier of foaming, the gas phase in the tank is occupied by foam, and the loading amount is reduced, which undoubtedly reduces the volume efficiency of the fermentation tank. Often due to untimely defoaming, the foam rises and forms a "bubble liquid" phenomenon. As a result, it not only pollutes the environment, but also causes the product and microorganisms to escape from the culture solution.

[0005] Moreover, the fermentation equipment used in various existing microbial fermentation projects mainly relies on a heater with an electric heating wire inside to heat the liquid in the fermentation tank. This heater is easy to damage and has low safety. Utility Model Content
