Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn puffing, and in particular to a puffed corn processing device. Background Technology
[0002] Extruded corn has many advantages over regular corn. The high temperature, high pressure, and high shear force of the high-digestibility extrusion process destroy the crystal structure of corn starch, causing the starch granules to expand and gelatinize. The starch molecular chains are opened, increasing the surface area of the digesta particles and improving digestibility. At the same time, the protein denatures, and the digestibility of amino acids is improved. Therefore, most of the existing corn feed is in the form of extruded corn.
[0003] Traditional small corn puffing machines puff corn through a high-temperature puffing chamber and puffing extrusion rollers inside the chamber. However, since the puffing extrusion rollers and other components are located inside the chamber and are under high pressure during operation, it is difficult to clean the material adhering to the material after operation, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty in cleaning.

The pusher roller in the pusher cylinder is connected to the corn puffing extrusion roller in the assembled puffing cavity cylinder. The end roller shaft of the pusher roller extends into the main drive cover and is connected to a drive pulley set. A bucket end plug is installed in the cylinder inlet end of the cutting cylinder.
[0007] Furthermore, a bidirectional lead screw drive assembly is installed on the lead screw frame, and a lead screw motor is installed on the bidirectional lead screw drive assembly. The end of the bidirectional lead screw is connected to the bidirectional lead screw drive assembly.
