Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yogurt fermentation equipment, and in particular to a fermentation device for yogurt production. Background Technology
[0002] Yogurt, a popular dairy product, relies heavily on fermentation, a crucial step in its production process that determines product quality. However, efficiently and thoroughly draining the fermented yogurt after fermentation, and preventing it from sticking to the tank walls, remains a significant technical challenge. Currently, most yogurt fermentation equipment relies on gravity to discharge the fermented yogurt through a discharge pipe. However, due to the viscosity of yogurt, some residue often remains on the tank walls, making complete removal difficult. This residue not only reduces production efficiency but also increases cleaning difficulty and compromises hygiene and safety in subsequent production. Utility Model Content
