Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated brewing technology, and in particular to an automatic steaming machine. Background Technology

[0002] The steamer is an automated device used in the increasingly popular automated brewing process. Unlike the traditional method of manually spreading the mash into the steamer, the steamer can automatically lift the mash in the hopper and pour it into the steamer, thus automating the feeding of mash and improving the feeding efficiency.

[0003] Patent CN210885998U discloses an intelligent steaming machine, including a feeding basket assembly fixed to a rotating arm and having a scraper assembly. The feeding basket has a feeding area; the scraper assembly is arranged within the feeding area and includes an upper scraper and a lower scraper coaxially arranged. By rotating the upper and lower scrapers simultaneously, the mash poured into the feeding basket can be spread evenly, allowing the mash to disperse through the screen at the bottom of the feeding basket.

[0004] In order to improve the efficiency of automated brewing by quickly feeding the mash into the still, the size of the feeding basket is usually designed to be larger, so that the mash can pass through the feeding basket more widely and faster. However, this design also causes the end of the scraper away from the rotating shaft to bend due to excessive force when spreading the mash. After the scraper is deformed, the entire scraper layer can only be replaced, resulting in high equipment maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
