Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a fermentation system, in particular to a double-layer stacked fermentation system, belonging to the technical field of solid-state fermentation equipment and being used for the production of Maotai-flavor Baijiu (Chinese liquor). Background Technique
[0002] The brewing of Baijiu has a long history in China, and some traditional and effective brewing processes have been formed during the long-term production practice. Stacked fermentation is an indispensable typical process in the production of Maotai-flavor Baijiu, and it mainly has three purposes:
[0003] 1. Collecting microorganisms: This is the most fundamental purpose of stacked fermentation. By exposing the cooked grain and fermented grains to the open environment of the workshop, the originally moist and warm grain and fermented grains will naturally adsorb thermophilic microorganisms, some molds, and bacteria in the air, allowing them to attach to and reproduce on their surfaces. After the grain and fermented grains full of bacteria are further fermented in the cellar, it will significantly drive the "aroma generation and saccharification".
[0004] 2. Saccharification and fermentation: This is an important stage of stacked fermentation. The purpose of the whole stage is to saccharify and decompose the starch in the grain and fermented grains through the koji and the microorganisms collected by spreading the grains, and then make the fermentation process more perfect through the residues left by the production, reproduction, and even death of the microorganisms.
[0005] 3. Aroma generation: This is an important result of stacked fermentation. The purpose is to polymerize the products of stacked fermentation to improve the flavor and liquor yield of Maotai-flavor Baijiu. Polymers such as "ethyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, and ethyl lactate" are the products after aroma generation. They can not only make the liquor body more mellow, sweet, and soft, but also increase the drinking taste at different stages, making the taste of new liquor more Maotai-flavored and aged.
[0006] With the development of Baijiu fermentation technology, some Luzhou-flavor Baijiu also adopt the process of adding stacked fermentation before fermentation in the fermentation pit. For example, the Chinese invention patent application with the publication number CN 117821188A proposes a method for stacking and fermenting fermented grains of Maotai-flavor distiller's grains. The method includes stacking the fermented grains into a conical fermented grain pile approximately in the shape of a hemisphere after cooking and mixing with koji. When piling up, the fermented grains are gradually sprinkled from the inside to the outside and from the bottom to the top. The first turning of the pile is carried out after stacking for 48 - 72 hours and when the top temperature of the pile reaches 35°C. By turning the pile, the problem of uneven temperature rise inside the stacked fermented grains is solved, the temperature rise uniformity is improved. At the same time, by controlling the shape and size parameters of the fermented grain pile, the liquor yield is increased, and the total acid, total ester, and content of tetramethylpyrazine in the liquor quality are also improved to a certain extent.
[0007] The technical solution and the existing technology have the following problems: 1. When inoculating high-temperature koji powder, medium-temperature koji powder, and low-temperature koji powder and mixing them with the cooked materials, manual weighing and adding are used with a platform scale, and then manual mixing is carried out; this method has a high labor intensity for workers, and the addition ratio is prone to errors (manual operation has a large workload, many varieties, and it is easy to miss adding or add repeatedly).
[0008] 2. During the manual operation process, manual temperature measurement, humidity measurement, and material turning are required, with a high labor intensity. Workers are prone to fatigue when working in a high-temperature and high-humidity working environment, and the operation is prone to errors.
[0009] 3. Since the traditional stacked fermentation materials are stacked in the fermentation workshop and the work is carried out in an open area, a large amount of water vapor is generated by the materials, and the workshop is filled with smoke, polluting the workshop environment.

The inlet of the cleaning spray pipe is connected to the high-pressure cleaning water pipe G9; a sewage discharge pipe G10 is provided at the bottom of the stacked disk fermenter, which is convenient for thoroughly cleaning the material bed when changing varieties.
[0055] The grain spreading tail gas outlet 9f at the top of the grain spreading machine 9 is connected to the air inlet of the scrubbing tower. The fermenter air outlet 8j can also be connected to the air inlet of the scrubbing tower. Two packing layers are provided in the middle of the scrubbing tower 11.

A clear water pipe G13 is connected to the middle and lower side walls of the scrubbing tower 11. When the concentration of the circulating water is too high, sewage discharge is carried out, and clear water is supplemented through the clear water pipe G13.
[0057] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the grain spreading machine 9 is horizontal, and a grain spreading conveyor net belt 9b extending along the length direction of the grain spreading machine 9 is provided in its inner cavity. The head end of the grain spreading conveyor net belt 9b is located below the grain spreading machine feeding port 9a, and the tail end of the grain spreading conveyor net belt 9b is located above the grain spreading machine discharging port 9c.
[0058] A cooling air chamber is provided below the grain spreading conveyor mesh belt 9b, and a plurality of cooling fans 9d are installed on the outer wall of the cooling air chamber along the length direction, and the outlets of each cooling fan 9d are respectively connected to the inner cavity of the cooling air chamber; the grain spreading exhaust gas outlet 9f at the top of the grain spreading machine is connected to the air inlet of the washing tower 11.
[0059] A scattering and flattening mechanism 9g for scattering and flattening the material is arranged above the upper layer of the grain-spreading conveying mesh belt 9b, and a plurality of scattering and flattening mechanisms 9g are arranged along the length direction of the grain-spreading conveying mesh belt 9b.
[0060] The working process of this double-layer stacking fermentation system is as follows:
[0061] 1. Inoculation: After cooking, the material is provided with a continuous and stable flow by the previous section, i.e., the cooking section. High-temperature koji powder, medium-temperature koji powder, and low-temperature koji powder enter the corresponding koji powder bins respectively. Each koji powder bin has a vibrating discharger and a screw feeder at its outlet. When discharging, the three types of koji powder are set to the speed of each screw feeder in proportion, and are interlocked with the feeder speed of the cooking section to achieve proportional feeding, and then mixed evenly in the koji powder mixer 4. The evenly mixed koji powder and the cooking material enter the inoculation mixer 5 together for even mixing, completing the inoculation of the material.
[0062] 2. Distribution: The inoculated material is conveyed to the entrance of the automatic tee by the belt conveyor unit. According to the production arrangement, the automatic tee can distribute the material to the upper or lower mobile feeding belt conveyor 7 to feed the double-layer stacking disc fermenter 8. The double-layer stacking disc fermenter 8 is provided with a conveyor track 8f extending radially to the outside of the fermenter. The mobile feeding belt conveyor 7 enters the double-layer stacking disc fermenter 8 along the conveyor track 8f and distributes the material along the radial direction of the rotating material bed 8a. At the same time, the rotating material bed 8a rotates around its own axis, and the two cooperate to complete the uniform distribution of the material on the entire area of the rotating material bed 8a.
[0063] The double-layer stacked disc fermenter 8 is provided with a radial auger 8b extending along the radius to help flatten the material so as to form a highly uniform material layer on the rotating material bed 8a.
[0064] After one layer of feeding is completed, the automatic tee will guide the material to the mobile feeding belt conveyor 7 of another layer to continue feeding.
[0065] 3. Fermentation: A hot water coil heating and heat preservation device is installed in the outer wall and ceiling of the double-layer stacked disc fermenter 8. Heating the ceiling can prevent condensation on the ceiling during the fermentation process, which affects the fermentation; heating the outer wall can heat the materials before the strain fermentation, thereby accelerating the fermentation speed. Before and during the feeding process, hot water is passed into the outer wall and ceiling of the double-layer stacked disc fermenter 8 to preheat the equipment and the fermentation materials and increase the temperature of the fermentation materials.
[0066] After the feeding is completed, the materials enter the fermentation process. During the fermentation process, if the measured oxygen consumption in the fermenter is low, the ventilator 8k can be turned on to supply air to the bottom of the lower rotating material bed. After the fresh air passes upward through the two material layers, it flows out from the air outlet 8j of the fermenter on the upper side wall.
[0067] When the measured material temperature is on the high side, the rotating material bed 8a can be rotated, and the material turning mechanism 8d can be lowered to the material turning position. At the same time, the fan is turned on for ventilation to cool the fermented materials. The fresh air first passes through the lower material layer, then continues to pass through the upper material layer, and is discharged from the upper side wall. After the cooling is completed, the material turning mechanism 8d can be raised, and the material turning mechanism 8d is disengaged from the contact with the fermented materials.
[0068] IV. Discharging: After the stacking fermentation, the purpose of collecting microorganisms, saccharification fermentation and flavor enhancement can be achieved. After the fermentation is completed, the radial auger 8b is turned on, and the radial auger 8b is gradually lowered to the bottom of the double-layer stacking disc fermenter 8. At this time, the disc is rotating, and the fermented materials are conveyed by the radial auger 8b to the discharge port 8g of the fermenter and discharged from the double-layer stacking disc fermenter 8.
[0069] V. Spreading and cooling the grains: The fermented materials enter from the feed inlet 9a of the grain spreading machine and fall on the feed end of the grain spreading conveyor belt 9b. The grain spreading conveyor belt 9b not only carries the materials and moves them towards the discharge end, but also forms a uniformly spread material layer of the materials on the grain spreading conveyor belt 9b.
[0070] During this process, each cooling fan 9d sends the cooling air into the cooling air chamber below the grain spreading machine 9, and passes upward through the spread materials, so that the materials are quickly cooled. The cooling tail gas is discharged from the grain spreading tail gas outlet 9f at the top of the grain spreading machine 9, enters the washing tower 11 for washing, and is discharged into the high altitude through the exhaust fan.
[0071] The feed end of the grain spreading machine 9 is cooled by the workshop air, and the discharge end is cooled by the air whose temperature is cooled by the water cooling equipment 10. The refrigerant water at about 10 °C enters the cold side of the air-water heat exchanger 10 through the refrigerant water supply pipe G11, is cooled to about 20 °C by the air, and cools the materials about to be discharged. The heated refrigerant water flows back to the refrigerant water system for circulation through the refrigerant water return pipe G12.
[0072] The cooled materials fall from the end of the grain spreading conveyor belt 9b and are discharged through the discharge port 9c of the grain spreading machine, and are conveyed to the next process by the conveying equipment. Embodiment

The discharge ports of the high-temperature koji powder bin 1 and the composite koji powder bin 12 are respectively provided with screw feeders.

The outlet of the composite distillers' grains chute pipe G14 after distillation is also connected to the feed inlet of the inoculation mixer 5. The composite distillers' grains after distillation are formed by evenly mixing distillers' grains and glutinous rice. The rotation speeds of each screw feeder are controlled by the material flow rate of the composite distillers' grains chute pipe G14 after distillation, so that the koji powder and the composite distillers' grains after distillation are added in proportion.
