Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of xanthan gum processing, in particular, to a xanthan gum finished product drying device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the production process of xanthan gum, after wet xanthan gum is pressed into finished product, drying is a very critical link. Currently, various device forms are commonly used for xanthan gum finished product drying. For example, some drying devices are cylindrical box structures, which are provided with a feeding port, a discharging door and a moisture removal structure, a heating device is installed on the outer wall, and a rotatable stirring mechanism is arranged inside. When working, the heating device heats the box, xanthan gum enters the box from the feeding port, and drying is realized by relying on the heated box. The moisture removal structure discharges the moisture in the box, and the stirring mechanism rotates synchronously to break up the clumped xanthan gum while turning it over, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0003] However, the existing drying devices have many drawbacks. For example, the moisture generated in the cylindrical box drying device contains a large amount of heat, which is often directly discharged to the outside of the box through the moisture removal device, resulting in a waste of heat in the moisture and causing serious energy waste. In addition, during the drying process of xanthan gum, material clumping frequently occurs. After xanthan gum is extracted from plants such as soybeans and corn, it is in the form of viscous colloid, and after being treated by spray drying and other methods, it is prone to clumping. For example, a traditional spray dryer is difficult to separate the clumps in the powder after drying xanthan gum, which greatly affects the quality of the xanthan gum powder product. In addition, some drying devices such as roller drying have complex mechanical structures and are limited in large-scale industrial production and application. The spray drying method reduces the solubility of xanthan gum due to its heat sensitivity. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION
