Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a simple fermentation conversion tray, belonging to the technical field of beer fermentation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In beer fermentation processes, especially in systems involving multiple fermentation tanks, the transfer plate serves as a crucial connection and switching device. It connects different fermentation tanks, enabling the flow and conversion of materials, gases, or liquids. It is typically equipped with multiple valves. These valves primarily control the inflow and outflow of materials, regulate flow rates, maintain pressure balance, and ensure the sterility of the system.

[0003] Currently, switching panels typically house multiple valves with different functions. Because the layout and position of these valves vary, different lengths of jumpers are required to accommodate these differences and ensure smooth fluid flow between the valves. However, installing jumpers of various lengths is complex, requiring careful measurement and comparison to ensure the jumper length matches the distance between the valves, increasing installation complexity and cost.

[0004] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content
