Description

Technical field:

[0001] The utility model relates to food processing equipment, in particular to a production device for solid honey. Background technology:

[0002] Molasses is a viscous, dark brown, semi-fluid substance that contains a large amount of sucrose, reducing sugar, cottonseed sugar, protein and a variety of minerals, vitamins, cellulose, amines, etc. After removing harmful substances from molasses, molasses can be well utilized by microorganisms and is a good raw material in the fermentation industry.

[0003] In the sugar industry, the squeezed juice of sugarcane or beet is clarified, evaporated, concentrated, crystallized, separated and other processes to obtain crystallized sugar and mother liquor. Although the separated mother liquor is repeatedly crystallized and separated, there is always a part of sugar remaining in the mother liquor. The residual sugar in the last mother liquor cannot or is not suitable to be recovered by crystallization method in the current sugar industry technology or economic accounting. Therefore, the last mother liquor of sugarcane or beet sugar factory becomes a by-product, which is molasses, commonly known as waste honey.

[0004] Molasses is divided into sugarcane molasses, beet molasses, grape molasses, citrus molasses and corn molasses according to the source of raw materials, among which beet molasses and sugarcane molasses have larger outputs.

[0005] Liquid molasses has poor fluidity, high transportation costs, and is difficult to mix evenly with other ingredients. In addition, the special nature of sugar will melt and caramelize under heating conditions, affecting the use of equipment, reducing production, and producing harmful substances. Ordinary drying methods cannot mass-produce safe and reliable solid molasses. In the laboratory, a low-temperature vacuum drying process can be used to dry solid powder, but vacuum drying consumes a lot of energy, has a small drying volume, and takes a long time to dry, which cannot meet large-scale production needs. Excessive ash content in molasses will make the molasses less palatable and cause diarrhea in animals. These factors have prevented molasses from being promoted in the breeding industry.

[0006] At present, general solid molasses is produced by mixing various other additives into the original molasses. Due to different application industries, solid molasses mixed with other additives can only be used in fixed industries, which limits the promotion and application of molasses. Utility model content:

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art and provide a new solid honey production device, avoid the use of additives, abandon the laboratory vacuum drying process route, realize low-energy consumption large-scale production, and broaden the promotion and application of molasses.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0009] A solid molasses production device comprises a low-temperature vacuum concentrator, a gas-liquid separation chamber, a vacuum system, a pump, a belt cooler / freezing tunnel machine, a first crushing pulverizer, a second crushing pulverizer, a control valve and a connecting pipeline, wherein the vacuum system connects the gas-liquid separation chamber and the low-temperature vacuum concentrator, the low-temperature vacuum concentrator has a low-concentration molasses inlet and a concentrated molasses material outlet, the concentrated molasses material outlet is connected to the inlet end of the pump, the outlet end of the pump is connected to the belt cooler or the freezing tunnel machine through a high-concentration molasses outlet control valve, the discharging end of the belt cooler is connected to the first crushing pulverizer, and the discharging end of the freezing tunnel machine is connected to the second crushing pulverizer.

[0010] In the above technical scheme, the low-temperature vacuum concentrator includes a heating shell, a heating roller, a driving motor, a shell heat source inlet, a shell heat source outlet, a roller heat source inlet, a roller heat source outlet, and a concentrator cavity humid gas outlet, and the heating roller is installed in the low-temperature vacuum concentrator cavity.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the heating shell is a circular sleeve wrapped around the casing, and the heating roller is a roller itself having a cavity for the heat source to flow through. The upper and lower ends of the circular sleeve of the heating shell are respectively provided with a shell heat source outlet and a shell heat source inlet, and one end of the heating roller is connected to both the roller heat source inlet and the roller heat source outlet.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the cryogenic vacuum concentrator further has a circulating liquid inlet, and the outlet end of the pump is also connected to the circulating liquid inlet of the cryogenic vacuum concentrator via a connecting pipeline and a circulating liquid control valve.

[0013] In the above technical scheme, the gas-liquid separation chamber is a hollow tank having a wet gas inlet at the bottom end of the hollow tank, and the gas outlet at the top of the hollow tank is connected to the gas phase pipe. The wet gas inlet at the bottom end of the hollow tank is also for the gas-liquid separated liquid to flow back to the low-temperature vacuum concentrator outlet.

[0014] In the above technical case, the belt cooler includes a cooling plate, a belt cooling belt, a belt cooling pulley and a cooling plate fixing device, the belt cooling belt is mounted on the belt cooling pulley, the cooling plate is a hollow heat exchange plate, and the hollow heat exchange plate has a cooling plate coolant inlet and a cooling plate coolant outlet.

[0015] In the above technical case, the freezing tunnel machine includes a freezing sleeve, a freezing belt and a freezing pulley. The freezing belt is mounted on the freezing pulley. The inside of the freezing sleeve is a freezing tunnel. The freezing belt is installed in the freezing tunnel. The freezing sleeve has a freezing night inlet and a freezing liquid outlet.

[0016] The outstanding substantial feature of the utility model is that the production process of solid molasses is as follows: low-concentration molasses is concentrated in a low-temperature vacuum concentrator, and then the concentrated molasses is sent to a belt cooler or a freezing tunnel machine for cooling to become solid molasses, and finally the cooled block material is crushed or pulverized to make a finished solid molasses.

[0017] The production device of solid molasses comprises a low-temperature vacuum concentrator, a gas-liquid separation chamber, a vacuum system, a pump, a belt cooler or a freezing tunnel machine, a crushing pulverizer, connecting pipes and a control valve. The low-temperature vacuum concentrator has a heating shell and a heating roller.

[0018] The remarkable effects of the utility model are:

[0019] The utility model completely abandons the existing production process of solid molasses produced by mixing additives, because the solid honey produced by mixing additives has a narrow application range and can only be used in a certain fixed industry, which limits the promotion and application of molasses; the utility model also abandons the existing laboratory low-temperature vacuum drying process with high energy consumption, small drying volume, long drying time, and inability to achieve large-scale production, because the solid molasses produced by this process has too high ash content, poor palatability, and diarrhea in animals, so it cannot be promoted and applied in the breeding industry.

[0020] The solid molasses produced by the physical method of low-temperature vacuum concentration and cooling and freezing solidification does not contain additives, does not produce ash, has good palatability, is healthy for animals to eat, has low energy consumption for production equipment, can achieve large-scale production, is conducive to the promotion of solid molasses products in the breeding industry and other industries, and has a wide range of applications.
