Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the production technology field of dried beancurd sheet, and particularly relates to a high -efficient drying equipment for dried beancurd sheet production. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the traditional dried beancurd sheet production process, single-box drying equipment is generally used for preheating, drying and cooling treatment in sequence, and this process design is mainly derived from equipment cost control and simple operation consideration. Although the single-box structure reduces the initial investment and maintenance difficulty, it exposes significant efficiency defects in actual application: since the same box needs to complete the process of different temperature and humidity requirements in stages, the environment parameters in the box must be adjusted completely every time the process is converted, which not only causes a large amount of heat energy waste, but also leads to serious waiting time loss between process links. Especially when converting from the preheating stage to the drying stage, the box needs to be quickly adjusted from a low-temperature and high-humidity state to a high-temperature and low-humidity environment, and this sharp change in temperature and humidity not only consumes additional energy and time, but also causes quality problems such as micro-cracks on the surface of the dried beancurd sheet.

[0003] In the subsequent cooling stage, the high-temperature box also needs to be quickly cooled down, which not only prolongs the production cycle, but also makes it difficult to achieve precise temperature control. More importantly, this intermittent production mode requires manual intervention for material transfer during process conversion, which not only increases the labor intensity and pollution risk, but also leads to low equipment utilization, so that the dried beancurd sheet drying process always has problems such as high energy consumption, low efficiency and unstable quality, which seriously restricts the scale development and technological upgrading of the dried beancurd sheet industry.
