AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing milk powder sterilization machines suffer from uneven heating during sterilization due to the poor flowability and low thermal conductivity of milk powder particles. Local overheating leads to whey protein denaturation, incomplete sterilization of deep particles, high energy consumption, and low efficiency. Furthermore, the equipment relies on a single heat source and requires frequent shutdowns to clean up agglomerated materials, limiting continuous production capacity.

The material lifting assembly and the circulating heating assembly work together. The lifting assembly lifts the material continuously upward through the lifting plate, and the circulating heating assembly achieves uniform heating in multiple directions. The lifting plate integrates an air duct, and the external circulating heating assembly forms multi-zone heating through a three-way pipe and partition plate design. The sealing ball and spring system regulate the air pressure to ensure temperature uniformity.

Benefits of technology

It achieves uniform heating of milk powder, eliminates blind spots in stirring, improves heating efficiency, enhances heating intensity in corner areas, solves the problems of uneven heating and low heating efficiency, and improves production continuity.
