Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chitosan production technology, specifically to a mixing device for chitosan processing. Background Technology

[0002] Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide that is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, medicine, cosmetics, aquaculture and other fields due to its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. The production process of chitosan will be introduced below. The raw material of chitosan mainly comes from the shells of marine organisms.

[0003] During processing, the ground shell powder is often added with catalysts and other substances. Therefore, it is necessary to store multiple raw materials and control the amount of material fed to meet the appropriate mixing ratio. In addition, existing devices mostly add the components directly. When the materials enter the production equipment, they cannot make sufficient contact, resulting in unreliable product quality in subsequent production. To address this, we propose a mixing device for chitosan processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome existing defects and provide a mixing device for chitosan processing. This device features a reliable feeding control unit capable of controlling the separation and storage of various components and allowing for the addition of predetermined quantities. By opening the upper cover, materials in each cylinder can be replenished at any time. It also has a reliable mixing and stirring unit capable of thoroughly mixing the raw materials and catalysts used in chitosan production, ensuring uniform mixing before entering the production equipment. This facilitates subsequent production operations and guarantees better product quality. The hollow structure at the lower end of the columnar frame and the funnel together form a mixing chamber with a flexible sealing block, allowing for convenient control of the material in the mixing chamber as it enters the production equipment. This effectively solves the problems in the prior art.
