Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pasta processing equipment technology, specifically a flour fermentation tank that can maintain temperature and humidity. Background Technology

[0002] Flour is a powder made from wheat, also known as wheat flour. The main nutrient in flour is starch, followed by protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and small amounts of enzymes. Based on the protein content, flour can be classified into high-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour, low-gluten flour, and gluten-free flour. Flour needs to be processed to become an edible food. The most basic processing method is to add water and yeast, mix and stir, which is called kneading. After being fully mixed into a dough, it can be left to ferment. The fermented dough can be made into various pasta dishes. In modern times, the flour mixing and fermentation process can be automated in large quantities by machines. Fermentation tanks have become an important processing equipment in modern pasta processing plants.

[0003] Most existing flour fermentation tank equipment lacks sufficient means to adjust and maintain temperature and humidity. It requires maintaining a suitable ambient temperature in the workshop to ensure a suitable fermentation environment. Temperature and humidity control cannot be precise to the individual tank, which can easily lead to inconsistent flour fermentation results in different tanks.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, we have made improvements by proposing a flour fermentation tank that can maintain temperature and humidity. Utility Model Content
