Exhaust hoods 2 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the top of the inner cavity of the shunt cylinder 1. By setting the exhaust hoods 2, the steam in the shunt cylinder 1 can be guided;
[0020] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the number of the vacuum concentration mechanisms 10 is two, and the outer ring of the hollow disk 1003 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shunt cylinder 1;
[0021] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , an auxiliary pipe 1004 is communicated with the bottom of the inner cavity of the hollow disk 1003, and the bottom of the auxiliary pipe 1004 penetrates to the bottom of the shunt cylinder 1. By setting the hollow disk 1003 and the auxiliary pipe 1004, it can be communicated with the heat exchange cross pipe 1002 to facilitate the passage of steam;
[0022] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , a heat exchange cross pipe 1002 is horizontally communicated with the surface of the hollow disk 1003. By setting the heat exchange cross pipe 1002, it can be installed through the multi-stage filter screen cylinder 1001, and then can be in good contact with the material to achieve the purpose of uniform temperature rise. The surface of the hollow disk 1003 is fixedly connected with a multi-stage filter screen cylinder 1001. By setting the multi-stage filter screen cylinder 1001, the flowing material can be subjected to multi-stage filtration treatment to ensure the material quality;
[0023] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a transmission elbow 8 is communicated with the bottom of the transfer valve 9 and located in the inner cavity of the shunt cylinder 1. One end of the transmission elbow 8 away from the transfer valve 9 is communicated with the center of the inner cavity of the multi-stage filter screen cylinder 1001. By setting the transmission elbow 8 and the transfer valve 9, when the transfer valve 9 is in the open state, the material in the treatment cylinder 5 can be conveniently guided into the multi-stage filter screen cylinder 1001 through the transmission elbow 8;
[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the number of heat exchange horizontal tubes 1002 is several and they are evenly distributed on the hollow disk 1003. The heat exchange horizontal tubes 1002 penetrate through the multi-stage filter cylinder 1001, and the outer diameter of the multi-stage filter cylinder 1001 is smaller than the inner diameter of the shunt cylinder 1;
[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the top of the drain valve 1005 is communicated with the bottom of the inner cavity of the shunt cylinder 1. The surface of the vacuum pump 1006 is fixedly connected to the shunt cylinder 1 by bolts, and the air inlet end of the vacuum pump 1006 penetrates into the inner cavity of the shunt cylinder 1;
[0026] A sealing block is installed on the top of the exhaust hood 2 by screws, which is used to ensure the vacuum environment in the shunt cylinder 1 in the installed state and facilitate the discharge of steam in the detached state;
[0027] An electric valve is fixedly installed at the air inlet end of the vacuum pump 1006, which is used to close the electric valve to prevent the material liquid from entering the vacuum pump 1006 after the shunt cylinder 1 is placed in a vacuum environment;
[0028] In actual application, the exhaust hood 2 with a sealing block at the top can be replaced by an exhaust hood 2 with an open top, and a solenoid valve is fixedly installed on the surface of the exhaust hood 2 with an open top. When the solenoid valve is closed, it is convenient to form a vacuum environment in the shunt cylinder 1, and when the solenoid valve is opened, it is beneficial to discharge the steam.
[0029] During use, all components are in the initial installation state. First, add the milk liquid into the treatment cylinder 5 through the liquid injection valve 3, close the liquid injection valve 3 and the transfer valve 9, control the booster pump 4 to work, and the air pressure in the treatment cylinder 5 continuously increases. With the cooperation of the reverse osmosis membrane 7, the water molecules in the milk liquid pass through the reverse osmosis membrane 7 to achieve the first concentration treatment. Then control the vacuum pump 1006 to work to form a vacuum negative pressure state in the shunt cylinder 1. First, open the drain valve 6 to discharge the water liquid in the treatment cylinder 5 and restore the treatment cylinder 5 to normal pressure. Then open the transfer valve 9, and under the guiding action of the transfer elbow 8, the material in the treatment cylinder 5 enters the multi-stage filter cylinder 1001. Then close the transfer valve 9. In the vacuum negative pressure environment, the boiling point of the material decreases. At this time, steam is introduced through the auxiliary pipe 1004 at one end. With the cooperation of the hollow disk 1003, the steam flows through the heat exchange horizontal tubes 1002 to exchange heat with the material, and the temperature of the material rises and is evaporated to achieve the second concentration treatment. Finally, open the drain valve 1005 to discharge the material after the second concentration treatment.

The two treatment methods of reverse osmosis or vacuum evaporation are set up separately for concentration processing, which increases the actual floor area of the equipment and has certain limitations.
