Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of puffing machines, for example to a puffing machine facilitating feeding. BACKGROUND

[0002] The description in this section merely provides background information related to the present disclosure and does not constitute prior art.

[0003] As a kind of food processing equipment, puffing machine is widely welcomed for its ability to convert various cereals into crisp and nutritious foods such as fried dough twists. These devices are usually made on site in public places such as streets or markets, not only showing the fresh production process of the food, but also meeting the needs of consumers for healthy and delicious food. However, although the puffing machine can operate stably in most seasons, it faces a significant technical challenge when used in winter.

[0004] Specifically, during the processing, the raw materials will produce a large amount of steam when they are heated and expanded from the feeding port. In seasons with high air temperature, these vapors are converted into a small amount of water vapor and diffuse into the air, which has little effect on the discharging process of the puffing machine. However, the air temperature decreases significantly in winter, and the steam quickly liquefies when it comes into contact with cold air, forming a large amount of water vapor. In the case of no wind or light wind, these water vapors are easy to accumulate near the feeding port of the puffing machine, resulting in a significant increase in humidity near the discharge port of the hopper and its surrounding environment. In this case, the fine grains (such as flour, crumbs, etc.) scattered near the discharge port become sticky due to water absorption, and are extremely easy to adhere to the discharge port. Over time, this sticky grain mixture gradually accumulates, eventually causing the discharge port to be completely or partially blocked. This affects the appearance quality and taste of fried dough twists and other products. In severe cases, it may even cause the equipment to stop, causing economic losses to the operator. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a puffing machine facilitating feeding, the isolation cover forms a relatively closed space, which can control the airflow of the discharging area, effectively preventing the accumulation of steam generated during the puffing process near the discharge port, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of grain stickiness and blockage caused by water vapor condensation.
