Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of grain and fermented grains mixed continuous cooking system, belong to liquor brewing technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of liquor, distillation is a crucial link, which is directly related to the quality and flavor of liquor. According to the existing production technology and method, liquor distillation can be mainly divided into three production methods: mixed burning and mixed distillation, clear burning and mixed distillation, and clear burning and clear distillation. Among them, the clear burning and mixed distillation process occupies an important position in the liquor manufacturing industry due to its unique production process and flavor characteristics.

[0003] The core of the clear burning and mixed distillation process is the reprocessing of the hot distillate. Specifically, this process requires that the hot distillate, which has been distilled and contains a certain amount of alcohol and flavor, be thoroughly mixed with fresh grains. This mixing process needs to ensure that the alcohol and flavor components in the hot distillate are evenly distributed in the grains to improve the quality of the final liquor. The mixed grains and hot distillate mixture is then sent to the retort barrel for secondary cooking until the grains are fully cooked.

[0004] However, the traditional clear burning and mixed distillation process has a series of problems in the production process. First of all, the labor intensity of workers in the entire production process is very high. Since the mixing of grains and hot distillate, barrel loading, and cooking operations need to be done manually, workers need to exert a lot of physical labor, which not only increases production costs but also may affect the health of workers. Secondly, there is a lot of repetitive labor in the traditional production process. For example, after each distillation, the mixing of grains and hot distillate needs to be done again, which not only consumes time and effort but also reduces production efficiency.

[0005] In addition, the traditional clear burning and mixed distillation process also has shortcomings in cooking time. Since the grains need to be fully cooked and the appropriate temperature and humidity need to be maintained throughout the process, the cooking time is often long. This not only increases the energy consumption of steam but also may cause the production cycle to be prolonged, further increasing the production cost. More importantly, due to the discontinuity of the secondary grain and distillate cooking process, the efficiency of the entire production line is severely restricted. After each cooking is completed, a period of time needs to be waited before the next cooking, which undoubtedly reduces the overall production efficiency.
