Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of konjac vermicelli processing technology, specifically to an alkaline water circulation device for konjac vermicelli. Background Technology

[0002] Konjac contains 35% starch, 3% protein, and various vitamins and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, and selenium. It also contains konjac polysaccharides, which are essential for human health. Konjac noodles are one of the most common processed konjac products. During the processing of konjac noodles, the extruded konjac noodles need to be cooked with hot alkaline water. In traditional technology, holes are made in the conveyor belt to transport the finished product into a collection container, while the alkaline water is drained out through the holes. The hot alkaline water is not reused and is directly discharged after use, resulting in waste. Therefore, it is necessary to design an alkaline water recycling device for konjac noodles. Utility Model Content
