Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cotton seed kernel wetting, and more specifically, to a cotton seed kernel wetting device. Background Art
[0002] Cottonseed, the seed of the Malvaceae plant, is commercially important for its oil and other products. Cottonseed oil is used as salad oil and cooking oil, and after hydrogenation, it is made into shortening and margarine. The cake residue or kernels after oil extraction are used as poultry and livestock feed. In vegetable oil mills, cottonseed kernels undergo a high-moisture steaming and oil extraction process. Moisture is atomized using a wetting device and then brought into contact with the cottonseed embryo. The mixture is then thoroughly mixed and stirred, and allowed to absorb the moisture molecules into the cells of the cottonseed embryo. After sufficient wetting, the cottonseed embryo is steamed and fried in a steamer, and then pressed in an oil press to produce cottonseed kernel cake and cottonseed oil. Therefore, a wetting device is proposed for fully wetting the cottonseed kernels.
[0003] Most existing cottonseed kernel wetting devices use a stirring method to make the cottonseed kernels evenly moistened. However, the existing stirring mechanism is difficult to turn over the cottonseed kernels at the bottom, resulting in different humidity levels between the cottonseed kernels at the bottom and the upper ends.
