[0026] Example

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, an integrated pasteurization and quenching / kneading device for butter production comprises a pasteurization unit 1, a transition unit 2, a quenching unit 3, and a kneading unit 4 arranged sequentially. A support leg 5 is located below the pasteurization unit 1, and a base 6 is located below the support leg 5. The transition unit 2, quenching unit 3, and kneading unit 4 are sequentially positioned above the base 6.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, the pasteurization unit 1 includes a pasteurization tank 13. A sealing cover 12 for sealing is provided on the top of the pasteurization tank 13. A feeding port 11 is provided on the sealing cover 12. A heating wire 19 for heating is provided inside the tank wall of the pasteurization tank 13. A rotating shaft 17 is provided inside the pasteurization tank 13, and stirring blades for stirring are provided on the rotating shaft 17. Figure 2 As shown, heating wires 19 are arranged longitudinally inside the pasteurization tank 13 to maintain a suitable pasteurization temperature inside the pasteurization tank 13.

[0029] The stirring blades include a straight rod stirring blade 15 and a T-rod stirring blade 14. The straight rod stirring blade 15 is located at the upper and middle parts of the rotating shaft 17, and the T-rod stirring blade is located at the bottom of the rotating shaft 17. Temperature sensors 16 are installed at the ends of the straight rod stirring blade 15 and the T-rod stirring blade 14. The bottom of the rotating shaft 17 is connected to the wall of the pasteurization tank 13, and the top of the rotating shaft 17 passes through the sealing cover 12 and is connected to the first motor 18.

[0030] The T-screw agitator blade 14 expands at its end, facilitating the delivery of butter through pipe 7 to the transfer tank. Temperature sensor 16 is connected using existing structures and technologies selected according to requirements.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the transition unit 2 includes a transition tank, inside which a first screw 21 is installed, and on the side of the first screw 21 a second motor 22 is installed. The transition tank is provided with a front transition tank 23 and a rear transition tank 24. The front transition tank 23 is provided with a front insulation pipe 25, and the rear transition tank 24 is provided with a rear insulation pipe 26. The number or temperature of the front insulation pipes 25 is greater than the number or temperature of the rear insulation pipes 26.

[0032] The butter discharged from the pasteurization tank 13 first enters the pre-transition tank 23, where the temperature is lower than that of the pasteurization tank 13, thus lowering the butter's temperature for the first time. Then, the butter enters the post-transition tank 24, where the temperature is lower than that of the pre-transition tank 23, further lowering the butter's temperature. At this point, the butter remains in a non-separated state. Finally, the butter enters the quench tank 33 via pipe 28. The gradually cooling transition unit 2, located between the pasteurization tank 13 and the quench tank 33, gradually lowers the butter's temperature without causing it to solidify, reducing the temperature difference between the butter and the quench unit 3, and improving the quenching effect and product quality.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the quenching unit 3 includes a quenching tank 33, with a quenching pipe 34 installed inside the tank wall. A second screw 32 is installed inside the quenching tank 33, and a third motor 31 is positioned above the second screw 32. The quenching pipe 34 is spirally arranged inside the quenching tank 33. The quenching pipe 34 is filled with coolant at a suitable temperature as needed to quench the butter. The kneading unit 4 includes a kneading tank, with a discharge port 10 on its side wall. The kneading tank adopts an existing structure as needed.

[0034] The pasteurization tank 13 is connected to the transition tank via pipe 7, the transition tank is connected to the quench tank 33 via pipe 8, and the quench tank 33 is connected to the kneading tank via pipe 9.

[0035] This invention provides a transition unit 2 between the pasteurization tank 13 and the quenching tank 33, which gradually reduces the temperature of the butter, decreases the temperature difference between the butter and the quenching unit 3, and improves the quenching effect and product quality of the butter.

[0036] Therefore, this utility model provides an integrated pasteurization and rapid cooling kneading device for butter production with the above-mentioned structure. A transition unit for gradual cooling is set between pasteurization and rapid cooling kneading, so that the temperature of the butter gradually decreases without solidifying, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the butter and the rapid cooling unit and improving the rapid cooling effect and product quality of the butter.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
