Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, and more specifically to a dehydration rack for producing beef jerky. Background Art

[0002] Beef refers to meat obtained from cows and is one of the most common meats. Beef jerky is generally made by marinating yellow beef with other seasonings. It not only maintains the chewy flavor of beef, but also does not deteriorate for a long time and is easy to carry. Usually in the manufacturing process of beef jerky, it needs to be air-dried and dehydrated to meet the rigid requirements of its production.

[0003] After searching, the existing patent (publication number: CN216245353U) discloses a drying device for producing beef jerky. When in use, the beef is hung on a hook, and the hung beef is driven to revolve by driving a rotating column. By starting the fan and the heating tube, the heating tube heats the air inside the heating box, and the fan blows the heated air into the interior of the annular tube through the fixed tube and the hose, and blows it onto the revolving beef through the blowing holes on the annular tube. The threaded sleeve is rotated forward and reversely by a driving mechanism to control the screw to indirectly contract or extend into the interior of the threaded sleeve, thereby driving the annular tube to reciprocate up and down, further making the beef more evenly dried. However, in the process of realizing the utility model, the inventor discovered that the prior art has the following problems: the above-mentioned air-drying device only uses hot air to blow onto the surface of the beef when air-drying the beef. However, the water content of the jerky raw material is relatively high in the initial stage. Therefore, the single air-drying method is used to treat the jerky. For the initial moist beef, it takes a long time. Therefore, the above-mentioned overall device has the defects of long air-drying time and low efficiency, and it is difficult to meet the needs of rapid dehydration processing of jerky.

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a dehydration rack for producing beef jerky with high dehydration and air-drying efficiency. Utility Model Content
