Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of donkey-hide gelatin production equipment, specifically relating to a donkey-hide gelatin granule production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Donkey-hide gelatin cubes are shaped like small pieces of donkey-hide gelatin. Currently, their production typically utilizes a twin-screw extruder and a rotary cutter. Specifically, donkey-hide gelatin powder is heated and melted, then extruded through a die into strips of a certain length, such as 2 cm. These strips are then cut into cubes using a rotary cutter. The cut cubes are currently drawn into a cooling pipe using air pressure, cooled during transport within the pipe, and finally collected by a cyclone separator. In this production method, the cooling process occurs in a relatively closed pipe environment, resulting in insufficient heat exchange and slow moisture evaporation. The central part of the resulting cubes is not sufficiently cooled, making them prone to reheating after collection. This causes the cubes to stick together, making them difficult to separate and leading to a high rework rate. Furthermore, because the cubes are transported and heat-exchanged together with the cooling air within the cooling pipe, the hot air carried from the twin-screw extruder condenses on the surface of the cubes, further exacerbating the adhesion problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a production equipment for donkey-hide gelatin pieces, which can prevent the donkey-hide gelatin pieces from sticking together.

[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0005] A production equipment for donkey-hide gelatin includes a frame on which a screw extruder, a conveyor belt, and a cutting mechanism are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction. An air-cooling mechanism is arranged above the conveyor belt. The screw extruder has multiple extrusion holes arranged in a row along the horizontal direction.

[0006] Optionally, the cutting mechanism includes a cutting machine and a support plate, the support plate being disposed below the blade of the cutting machine, and the cutting machine having a cutting blade that reciprocates up and down.

[0007] Optionally, the air-cooling mechanism includes a blower and a first cover. The first cover is fastened above the conveyor belt, and a guide gap for the donkey-hide gelatin to pass through is provided between the bottom of the first cover and the top of the conveyor belt. The blower is connected to the inside of the first cover through a pipe.

[0008] Optionally, the air-cooling mechanism further includes an induced draft fan and a second cover. The second cover is fastened above the conveyor belt and located upstream of the first cover. A guide gap for the donkey-hide gelatin to pass through is provided between the bottom of the second cover and the top of the conveyor belt. The induced draft fan is connected to the interior of the second cover through a pipe.

[0009] Optionally, the blower is connected downstream of the first housing, and an exhaust pipe is connected upstream of the first housing.

[0010] Optionally, the downstream end of the tray is inclined downward.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this application include, but are not limited to:

[0012] The donkey-hide gelatin production equipment provided by this utility model uses an air-cooling mechanism to cool the long strips of donkey-hide gelatin extruded by the screw extruder, and then uses a cutting machine to cut the long strips of donkey-hide gelatin into cubes to prevent the donkey-hide gelatin cubes from sticking together; the negative pressure generated by the blower extracts the steam carried by the long strips of donkey-hide gelatin in time to prevent the steam from entering the first cover, thereby preventing the formation of condensation on the surface of the donkey-hide gelatin. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of extrusion orifices on a screw extruder;

[0016] In the diagram, 100 is the frame; 200 is the screw extruder; 210 is the extrusion orifice; 300 is the conveyor belt; 400 is the cutting mechanism; 410 is the cutter; 420 is the pallet; 510 is the blower; 520 is the first cover; 530 is the exhaust pipe; 610 is the induced draft fan; and 620 is the second cover. Detailed Implementation

[0017] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0018] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the donkey-hide gelatin production equipment provided by this utility model includes a frame 100. A screw extruder 200, a conveyor belt 300 and a cutting mechanism 400 are arranged sequentially on the frame 100 along the conveying direction. An air-cooling mechanism is arranged above the conveyor belt 300. The screw extruder 200 has a plurality of extrusion holes 210 arranged in a row along the horizontal direction.

[0020] During production, the donkey-hide gelatin powder is melted in the screw extruder 200 and then extruded into long strips through the extrusion orifice on the die head. As the long strips of donkey-hide gelatin are conveyed downstream side by side by the conveyor belt 300, the air-cooling mechanism sends out cooling air to cool the long strips of donkey-hide gelatin. After cooling, the long strips of donkey-hide gelatin harden and are then cut into donkey-hide gelatin cubes by the cutting mechanism 400.

[0021] In one specific embodiment, the cutting mechanism 400 includes a cutter 410 and a tray 420. The tray 420 is disposed below the blade of the cutter 410, which has a cutting blade that moves up and down reciprocatingly. The conveyor belt 300 uniformly conveys the long strip of donkey-hide gelatin onto the tray 420, and the cutter 410 moves up and down reciprocatingly to cut the long strip of donkey-hide gelatin into donkey-hide gelatin cubes.

[0022] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the cut donkey-hide gelatin pieces can smoothly leave the tray 420, it is preferable to set the downstream end of the tray 420 downward.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the air-cooling mechanism includes a blower 510 and a first housing 520. The first housing 520 is fastened above the conveyor belt 300, and a guide gap for material passage is provided between the bottom of the first housing 520 and the top of the conveyor belt 300. The blower 510 is connected to the interior of the first housing 520 through a pipe. Cooling air delivered by the blower 510 enters the first housing 520, contacts the elongated donkey-hide gelatin for heat exchange, and lowers the temperature of the donkey-hide gelatin.

[0024] Preferably, the blower 510 is connected downstream of the first cover 520, and an exhaust pipe 530 is connected upstream of the first cover 520. Cooling air and donkey-hide gelatin exchange heat in a counter-current manner, and the resulting airflow is discharged upstream of the first cover 520. To ensure the quality of donkey-hide gelatin production, clean air is used for cooling, and the resulting airflow can be dehumidified, cooled, and purified before being recycled.

[0025] When the long strips of donkey-hide gelatin are extruded from the screw extruder 200, the temperature is around 80-90℃, carrying steam. If this steam encounters direct cooling, condensation will form on the surface of the gelatin. To solve this problem, the air-cooling mechanism in this invention includes a blower 610 and a second cover 620. The second cover 620 is fastened above the conveyor belt 300 and located upstream of the first cover 520. A guide gap for material passage is provided between the bottom of the second cover 620 and the top of the conveyor belt 300. The blower 610 is connected to the interior of the second cover 620 via a pipe. Thus, the negative pressure generated by the blower 610 promptly extracts the steam carried by the long strips of donkey-hide gelatin, preventing steam from entering the first cover 520. The second cover 620 is located at the front end of the conveyor belt, with an extension length of approximately 0.5m along the conveying direction.
