Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bacteria adding devices for yogurt production, and particularly relates to bacteria adding devices for yogurt production. Background Art
[0002] The yogurt production strain adding device is used in the yogurt production process to add the strains required for yogurt production into the process for yogurt production. By using the strain adding device to add strains, the yogurt production efficiency is higher and the amount of added strains is more accurate.
[0003] In the existing yogurt production bacterial strain adding device, when bacterial strains need to be added during yogurt production, the bacterial strains are transported from the bacterial storage tank to the valve body through a feeding pump and added to the yogurt production process. However, there are the following defects: (1) When the existing bacterial strain adding device is used for yogurt production, when it is necessary to clean the inside of the bacterial storage tank, it only injects cleaning liquid into the tank and then completes the cleaning by shaking or stirring. During the cleaning process, the bacterial strains attached to the inner wall cannot be thoroughly cleaned, resulting in the problem that the bacterial strain activity is easily destroyed when the bacterial strains are added again in the subsequent sequence. For this reason, we propose a yogurt production bacterial strain adding device. Utility Model Content
