Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic re-distillation system for tail liquor, specifically an automatic re-distillation system for tail liquor. Background Technology

[0002] The automatic reflux evaporation system for tail liquor is used to reflux and evaporate the tail liquor. During the distillation process, the alcohol content of the liquor flowing out will decrease over time. The liquor is divided into opening liquor, middle liquor, and tail liquor based on its alcohol content (the ratio of alcohol to water and esters). The liquor distilled using Yada's small-scale brewing equipment is called tail liquor. The alcohol content of the liquor flowing out at the end is greatly reduced (the ratio of alcohol to water and esters is severely unbalanced, with water accounting for more than 85%). The alcohol content is basically below 20°. The tail liquor is sour, bitter, watery, and cloudy.

[0003] For example, the authorized patent with publication number CN208667652U (Fermentation Tail Re-evaporation System) includes a steam supply chamber, a yellow water supply chamber, and a fermentation chamber. The steam supply chamber supplies steam to the fermentation chamber through a steam pipe, and the yellow water supply chamber supplies yellow water to the fermentation chamber through a yellow water supply pipe. The steam pipe is equipped with a flow valve, and the yellow water supply pipe is equipped with a pressure pump. A recovery pipe is located at the bottom of the fermentation chamber and is connected to the upper end of the yellow water supply chamber via an adapter. A heater is installed inside the yellow water supply chamber. The advantage of this invention is that it can re-evaporate the fermentation tails, increasing production without increasing raw materials.

[0004] The existing technology has a single method for refluxing tail liquor and cannot connect multiple tail liquor outlet pipes at the same time, resulting in low tail liquor introduction efficiency, inconvenient reflux control, and the inability to simultaneously discharge the steam after re-distillation into multiple condensing devices for condensation, making it inconvenient to use multiple pipelines simultaneously after condensation and resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content
