Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wine brewing process device, especially a distiller's grains pneumatic hammer for brewing. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the traditional solid-state fermentation brewing process (such as liquor and rice wine production), the compaction degree of distiller's grains (wine lees) is one of the key factors affecting fermentation efficiency and wine quality. Distiller's grains need to be compacted by layering to form a closed anaerobic environment to promote microbial metabolism and flavor substance generation. However, traditional manual tamping or simple mechanical compaction has the problems of low efficiency, high labor intensity, uneven compaction, etc., which can easily lead to unbalanced air permeability, local temperature loss of control or contamination of miscellaneous bacteria in the pit, directly affecting the yield and quality stability of the wine. Therefore, developing an efficient and controllable automatic compaction device has become an important direction for the technical upgrading of the brewing industry.
