Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal fat processing technology, specifically to an animal fat deacidification tower. Background Technology

[0002] Animal fats are distributed throughout various tissues and organs of animals, especially in subcutaneous adipose tissue, such as lard, which has a very high oil content. Animal fats are used not only as food but also in cosmetics, medicine, and other fields. Due to the complex composition of animal fats, their production requires multiple processes such as rendering, refining, and deacidification to meet the quality requirements of the finished product. Deacidification removes impurities such as fatty acids from animal fats.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent in China with patent publication number CN213202971U, which discloses an animal fat deacidification tower. The tower comprises a tower body, a circulation pipe, a circulation pump, and a steam heating jacket. During operation, the circulation pump continuously feeds oil from the bottom of the tower to the top. Under the action of alternating upper and lower distribution plates, the animal fat is evenly distributed while fatty acids and odorous impurities are rapidly evaporated in a reduced-pressure environment. This design offers advantages such as ease of use and high deacidification efficiency, ensuring the quality of the finished oil. However, the device has certain shortcomings. For example, it is not convenient to directly filter animal fat when it is added. Floating matter or impurities in the animal fat may cause blockages in the circulation pump, affecting its lifespan. Furthermore, existing animal fat deacidification towers sometimes use crude oil directly without filtration, and the suspended matter and impurities in the crude oil significantly impact deacidification and oil quality. Therefore, we propose an animal fat deacidification tower. Utility Model Content
