AI Technical Summary
Traditional beet pre-treatment is uneven in size, which makes it difficult to extract large pieces of flesh, and the juice splashes during squeezing, resulting in waste of raw materials.
A beet cutting device was designed, including a base frame, a collection box and a bar press. The strip press uses a grid knife holder to divide the beet into strips of uniform size, and collects the juice flowing when cutting the strips through the collection box to reduce waste of raw materials. The bar press can automatically press the bar through the cylinder, or manually push and pull the down handle to adapt to different working conditions.
By evenly segmenting the beet, the subsequent extraction efficiency is improved, raw material waste is reduced, and the equipment is adaptable and reliable.

[0002] About 30% of the sugar produced in the world each year comes from sugar beets. Sugar beets are rich in sugar and protein. Pectin extracted from sugar beets has good emulsification properties and has great application potential in the food emulsifier market. Alkaline-soluble polysaccharides with emulsification activity can be extracted from the acidic waste residue after pectin extraction, and the cellulose in sugar beets can be further used as raw materials for the papermaking industry.

However, although the squeezing mechanism is simple and low-cost, the beet fragments are relatively uneven, and it is difficult to extract large pieces of pulp. In addition, when squeezing, the juice splashes, causing some of the raw materials to be wasted. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pre-treatment device that can cut the beets evenly to facilitate the subsequent sugar production and pectin extraction from the pulp. Utility Model Content
