It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an enzyme preparation addition device suitable for industrial beer production includes an enzyme preparation storage tank 1, a tank body CIP cleaning pipe 3, a discharge pipe 4, an electric diaphragm pump 5, and an addition pipe 6. The top of the enzyme preparation storage tank 1 is connected to the tank body CIP cleaning pipe 3, and the bottom is connected to the discharge pipe 4. The enzyme preparation storage tank 1 is also equipped with a feeding port 2, a high liquid level detection switch 8, and a low liquid level detection switch 9. The feeding port 2 is equipped with a proximity switch to indicate whether the feeding port 2 is covered. The lower end of the discharge pipe 4 is connected to the electric diaphragm pump 5 and the addition pipe 6. The addition pipe 6 follows the enzyme preparation addition direction... A first flow meter 12, a second safety valve 13, and a butterfly valve 14 are sequentially arranged upwards. The outlet of the adding pipe 6 and the lower end of the tank CIP cleaning pipe 3 are both connected to the material pipe. The outlet of the adding pipe 6 can be welded or threaded to the material pipe. The lower end of the discharging pipe 4 is also provided with a discharging CIP cleaning pipe 7 connected to the tank CIP cleaning pipe 3. The discharging CIP cleaning pipe 7 is equipped with a CIP cleaning control valve 71 and a third drain valve 72. The enzyme preparation storage tank 1 is fixed on a support frame 17. An adjustable base 18 is provided on the legs of the support frame 17. The precise addition and automated production of enzyme preparations during beer production are achieved by using an electric diaphragm pump 5, the first flow meter 12, and the butterfly valve 14. The enzyme preparation storage tank 1 and the discharging pipe 4 are cleaned by the tank CIP cleaning pipe 3 and the discharging CIP cleaning pipe 7, respectively, to ensure a sterile environment during enzyme preparation addition, greatly reducing the contamination rate during the addition process and ensuring the safety of beer consumption.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, the inlet of the electric diaphragm pump 5 is connected to the outlet pipe 4 via a threaded connector, and the outlet is connected to the addition pipe 6 via a threaded connector. Pump protection valves 61 are installed on the outlet pipe 4 and the addition pipe 6, bridging the inlet and outlet of the electric diaphragm pump 5. A pulse damper 10 and a first safety valve 11 are also installed on the addition pipe 6. The pulse damper 10 is located between the electric diaphragm pump 5 and the first flow meter 12; the first safety valve 11 is located between the pulse damper 10 and the first flow meter 12. The pump protection valve 61, pulse damper 10, first safety valve 11, and second safety valve 13 ensure safe production, extend the service life of the electric diaphragm pump 5, and reduce maintenance costs.
[0020] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a washing ball 31 is provided on the port of the CIP cleaning tube 3 that extends into the enzyme preparation storage tank 1.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the section of the tank CIP cleaning pipe 3 that connects to the material pipeline is equipped with a second flow meter 15 and a turbidity meter 16.
[0022] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the discharge pipe 4 is provided with a discharge valve 41, a first drain valve 43 and a normally open hand valve 42 in sequence along the direction of enzyme preparation addition; a second drain valve 62 is also provided on the discharge pipe 4 between the normally open hand valve 42 and the pump protection valve 61.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the adjustable base 18 includes a base 181, a first nut 182, a threaded rod 183, and a second nut 184. The threaded rod 183 is connected to the base 181 and is limited by the first nut 182. The upper end of the threaded rod 183 is threadedly and adjustablely connected to the support leg of the support frame 17 and locked by the second nut 184. The adjustable base 18 facilitates the installation of the entire device and reduces the requirement for the levelness of the installation surface.
[0024] The specific usage process is as follows: Before production, open the feeding port 2 and add the prepared enzyme preparation to the enzyme preparation storage tank 1. The effective volume of the enzyme preparation storage tank 1 is 30 hL. Close the feeding port 2. The equipped high and low liquid level detection switches and the proximity switch at the feeding port are functioning normally, allowing for the next step of operation. When enzyme preparation needs to be added, open the discharge valve 41 and start the electric diaphragm pump 5. Set parameters according to actual production needs, such as the flow rate of the material pipeline and the set addition amount, to control the start / stop and frequency of the electric diaphragm pump 5 and add materials. If pipeline blockage occurs, the pressure of the electric diaphragm pump 5 will increase, and the safety valve will trip when the set pressure is reached, protecting the electric diaphragm pump 5 from damage. Accurately add the enzyme preparation to the material pipeline. After adding the required amount, sequentially close the electric diaphragm pump 5 and the discharge valve 41. Since the amount of enzyme preparation added is relatively small compared to the total raw material, metering and adding using instruments is more accurate than manual addition, and it eliminates the need for enzyme preparation metering for each batch of product, saving labor costs and time. After a batch of materials is produced, to ensure hygiene requirements and prevent residue from remaining in dead corners, the first drain valve 43, the second drain valve 62, and the third drain valve 72 are opened to discharge residual materials. The drain valves are then closed, and the CIP cleaning control valve 71 is opened to perform CIP cleaning on the addition pipeline 6 using the material pipeline cleaning system. Then, the enzyme preparation storage tank 1 is cleaned periodically by opening the tank CIP cleaning pipe 3. Because the food industry has high hygiene requirements, regular CIP cleaning makes beer production safer and more hygienic, reducing the risk of contamination and bacterial growth.
[0025] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
