Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of butter refining and processing equipment, specifically a vacuum deodorization device in the butter refining process. Background Technology
[0002] The refining process of butter produces off-odors, so vacuum deodorization is a key step in the refining process. This aims to remove off-odor components (such as free fatty acids, aldehydes, ketones, etc.) and volatile substances from the butter, thereby improving its purity, color, and stability.
[0003] In existing technologies, conventional deodorization devices directly discharge the deodorization-generated gas to the outside of the device. However, the deodorization-generated gas can be harmful to health. For example, ammonia is a colorless, toxic gas with a strong, pungent odor. Long-term exposure to this environment can affect the health of workers. Summary of the Invention

The activated carbon plate 308 can adsorb and filter the gas generated during deodorization, preventing it from affecting the health of the staff and also benefiting the environment. When the activated carbon plate 308 needs to be replaced, pull the pull plate 305 upward. The pull plate 305 drives the locking shaft 306 to move upward and disengage from the inside of the installation plate 303. At this time, the pull rod 304 can be pulled outward, causing the installation plate 303 to slide outward and disengage from the inside of the placement groove 302. Thus, the activated carbon plate 308 can be removed from the inside of the filter box 3. Then, the locking pin 309 is pulled out, causing the locking pin 309 to disengage from the inside of the activated carbon plate 308 and the installation plate 303. Thus, the activated carbon plate 308 can be removed for replacement. Disassembly and replacement are convenient.
