[0029] Constant temperature fermentation equipment for feed additives, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the fermentation tank 10 is used for feed additives. One side of the fermentation tank 10 is open and has a door 20. A humidifying water tank 30 is installed on the top of the fermentation tank 10. The fermentation tank 10 is divided into multiple fermentation zones 14 by several layers of evenly spaced partitions 13. A constant temperature electric heating element 40 is embedded in the inner wall of each fermentation zone 14. A water supply pipe 32 connected to the interior is installed at the bottom of one side of the humidifying water tank 30. The outer wall of the water supply pipe 32 is connected to horizontal pipes 33, which are the same number and corresponding in position as the fermentation zones 14. Several sets of evenly spaced branch pipes 34 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of each horizontal pipe 33. Several evenly spaced atomizers are installed on the bottom surface of each branch pipe 34. 35. The atomizer 35 is manually activated at a set time. Through the fermentation cabinet 10, which has an opening on one side and is equipped with a cabinet door 20, a closed fermentation environment is provided for the feed additive. The humidifying water tank 30 installed on the top of the fermentation cabinet 10, together with the water supply pipe 32 connected to its bottom and the horizontal pipe 33 and branch pipe 34 corresponding to the fermentation zone 14, can evenly deliver water to each fermentation zone 14. The water is atomized and sprayed through the atomizer 35 installed on the bottom of the branch pipe 34, increasing the humidity of the fermentation environment. At the same time, the constant temperature electric heating plate 40 embedded in the inner wall of each fermentation zone 14 can ensure that the temperature in each fermentation zone 14 remains constant, thereby improving the fermentation effect and quality of the feed additive.

[0030] Furthermore, the fermentation tank 10 includes an inner insulation layer 11 and an outer shock-resistant shell 12. The inner insulation layer 11 is made of food-grade PP insulation with a thickness of 2-6mm, and the outer shock-resistant shell 12 is made of stainless steel with a thickness of 3-5mm. Through the design of the inner insulation layer 11 and the outer shock-resistant shell 12, the fermentation tank 10 not only has excellent heat preservation performance, reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency, but also excellent shock resistance, protecting the fermentation tank 10 from external impacts and extending its service life. At the same time, both the food-grade PP insulation layer and the stainless steel shell meet food safety requirements, ensuring that the fermentation process of the feed additives is not contaminated.

[0031] The fermentation tank 10 is equipped with casters 15 at each of its four corners, allowing for easy movement and positioning, thus improving the equipment's flexibility and convenience. This facilitates the fermentation of feed additives in different locations, meeting diverse production needs.

[0032] Specifically, the outer wall of the cabinet door 20 is provided with ventilation holes 21 in the same number and corresponding positions as the fermentation zones 14. Through the ventilation holes 21, each fermentation zone 14 can obtain an appropriate amount of air circulation, which helps to maintain the oxygen content and humidity balance of the fermentation environment, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency and quality of the feed additive.

[0033] In addition, a U-shaped pull rod 22 is installed on the outer wall of the cabinet door 20. The pull rod 22 makes it easier for users to open and close the cabinet door 20, improving the ease of operation of the equipment. At the same time, the U-shaped pull rod 22 design also increases the comfort of holding the device and reduces hand fatigue.

[0034] It is worth noting that the temperature of the constant-temperature electric heating element 40 is 35-40℃. By setting the constant-temperature electric heating element 40 and controlling its temperature within the range of 35-40℃, the temperature within the fermentation zone 14 can be kept constant and suitable, which is beneficial to the fermentation process of the feed additive. This temperature range can ensure the activity of microorganisms while avoiding over-fermentation or spoilage caused by excessively high temperatures.

[0035] The working principle of the constant temperature fermentation device for this feed additive:

[0036] First, evenly place the feed additives to be fermented into each fermentation zone 14 inside the fermentation cabinet 10; ensure that the dosage in each zone is appropriate to guarantee the fermentation effect;

[0037] Next, close the cabinet door 20, which can be easily operated using the lever 22; the ventilation holes 21 on the cabinet door 20 will ensure air circulation during fermentation while maintaining suitable humidity;

[0038] Then, the humidification tank 30 is activated, and water is evenly atomized and sprayed into each fermentation zone 14 through the water supply pipe 32, horizontal pipe 33 and branch pipe 34; the atomizer 35 ensures that the water is evenly distributed in the form of tiny particles, providing the necessary moisture environment for microorganisms.

[0039] At the same time, the constant temperature electric heating element 40 is turned on to control the temperature in the fermentation zone 14 within a suitable range of 35-40℃; this temperature is conducive to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, thereby accelerating the fermentation process of the feed additive.

[0040] Throughout the fermentation process, the fermentation status can be checked periodically, and the working status of the humidification water tank 30 and the constant temperature electric heating element 40 can be adjusted as needed;

[0041] Finally, once fermentation is complete, open the cabinet door 20 and remove the fermented feed additives. Using the casters 15, the fermentation cabinet 10 can be easily moved to the next work location for the next batch of fermentation.

[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
