Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fresh milk processing and sterilization equipment, in particular to a sterilization device for fresh milk processing. Background Art

[0002] Milk is an essential nutritional necessity in our daily lives. However, fresh milk often contains a high concentration of pathogens and cannot be consumed directly. It requires sterilization and disinfection. During the milk production process, freshly squeezed milk is typically placed in a milk tank and quickly cooled to inhibit microbial growth and prolong the milk's antibacterial properties. The cooled milk is then promptly sent to the factory for processing. Through filtration, purification, cooling, homogenization, sterilization, and packaging, it becomes the sterilized milk we consume daily. Sterilization is a key process in the production of sterilized milk.

[0003] After searching, the patent announcement number CN209788351U discloses a sterilization device for fresh milk processing. The technical problem to be solved is to provide a sterilization device for fresh milk processing that has uniform heating, good sterilization effect, and can be cooled directly in the sterilization zone milk tank. The technical solution is as follows: A sterilization device for fresh milk processing, including a base, an annular slide, a first connecting frame, rollers, a sterilization tank, a first bearing seat, a hollow stirring shaft, etc.; an annular slide is provided on both sides of the right top of the base, a first connecting frame is provided on the top of the annular slide, a roller is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first connecting frame, the roller cooperates with the annular slide, and a sterilization tank is provided on the top of the first connecting frame. The utility model heats the hollow stirring shaft and the hollow disc by a heating rod and a heat-conducting rod, and the hollow stirring shaft stirs the fresh milk in the sterilization tank, so that the fresh milk can be evenly heated and sterilized by the heat of the hollow stirring shaft and the hollow disc, so that the fresh milk can be evenly heated and sterilized, and the sterilization effect is good.

[0004] In actual use, existing fresh milk sterilization equipment generally adopts electric heating to heat fresh milk. Although this method can heat fresh milk quickly, the electric heating method easily causes the temperature of the inner wall of the equipment to be too high. If the temperature of the inner wall of the equipment is too high, it is easy to cause the fresh milk to deteriorate due to the contact between the fresh milk and the inner wall, thereby affecting the quality of the fresh milk. In addition, when cooling the heated fresh milk, it takes a long time to cool the fresh milk, which affects the sterilization effect of the fresh milk. Therefore, we propose a sterilization device for fresh milk processing to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content
