Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fragrance production technology, specifically a purification and crystallization device used in fragrance production. Background Technology

[0002] In the vast field of fragrance production, purification and crystallization play a crucial role. Fragrance, a product skillfully blended from various natural or synthetic flavorings, directly affects the aroma profile, taste, and stability of the final product.

[0003] In existing technologies, the purification process of fragrances mainly relies on some traditional processes, such as simple physical filtration. This method can only remove larger particles of impurities and is ineffective against tiny particles. While chemical precipitation can handle some specific types of impurities, it may introduce new chemical substances, affecting the purity and safety of the fragrance. Distillation, when separating components with different boiling points, often requires high-temperature operation, which is not only energy-intensive but may also lead to the loss of some heat-sensitive components in the fragrance.

[0004] In the crystallization stage, existing equipment typically only involves improvements to a simple cooling system, lacking precise control over the crystallization process. For example, the stirring device may not provide uniform stirring force and speed, leading to localized overcooling or oversaturation of the fragrance during crystallization, thus affecting crystal size and purity. Regarding temperature control, most equipment can only achieve coarse temperature regulation and cannot meet the precise temperature change curves required for fragrance crystallization.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a purification and crystallization apparatus for fragrance production. Utility Model Content
