Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beer purification technology, specifically a craft beer purification device. Background Technology

[0002] The purification process (also known as clarification or filtration) of craft beer is a key step in ensuring that the beer is clear and has a pure taste. It uses four raw materials for fermentation: malt, hops, yeast, and water. No artificial additives are added. Once the yeast has completed its fermentation task and settled to the bottom of the fermentation tank, it should be removed immediately. After settling, the yeast's metabolism has basically stopped, and it has very little exchange of matter and energy with the outside world. Without the re-input of energy, even if it is resuspended, it cannot significantly reduce residual sugar and reduced diacetyl.

[0003] Existing purification devices do not easily settle and collect yeast, which tends to clog the bottom conical outlet of the fermenter, making recovery inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a craft beer purification device to solve the problems in the prior art where yeast is not easy to settle and collect, and yeast is easy to clog at the bottom conical outlet of the fermentation tank, making recovery inconvenient.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a craft beer purification device, comprising:

[0033] In order to connect the rotating shaft 714 and the rotating rod 72 synchronously, the motor 71 is fixedly installed at the top of the tank body 1. The output end of the motor 71 extends into the inner cavity of the tank body 1 and is locked with the rotating shaft 714 by a coupling. The rotating rod 72 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 714. The inner cavity of the rotating rod 72 is provided with a sliding groove 715. A slider 716 is inserted into the inner cavity of the sliding groove 715, and the slider 716 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 714.

[0038] Its detailed connection method is a well-known technology in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows.

[0039] Step 1: Pour the raw materials into the tank 1 through the feed inlet 3, observe the fermentation in the tank 1 through the glass plate 8, start the motor 71 so that the motor 71 drives the rotating shaft 714 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 72 is driven to rotate through the cooperation of the slider 716 and the chute 715, thereby driving the stirring rod 73 to rotate around the circumference of the rotating rod 72 to stir the raw materials poured into the tank 1 and accelerate the mixing and fermentation speed of the raw materials;

[0040] Step 2: After the raw materials have fermented, allow them to settle into the settling hood 5. Open the drain valve 62 to allow the settled fermented raw materials in the settling hood 5 to be discharged downwards through the drain pipe 61 and drain valve 62. Start the hydraulic cylinder 710 to push the lifting column 711 downwards, so that the groove 713 pushes the connecting plate 79 and the rotating rod 72 downwards until the first cylindrical plate 75 moves downwards, so that the limiting block 77 is inserted into the corresponding slot 78 to connect the first cylindrical plate 75 and the second cylindrical plate 76 vertically. Start the motor 71 to drive the rotating rod 72 to rotate, and drive the spiral conveying rod 74 to rotate under the connection of the first cylindrical plate 75 and the second cylindrical plate 76. This causes the fermented raw materials in the settling hood 5 to be spirally squeezed downwards under the rotation of the spiral conveying rod 74, so that all the fermented raw materials can be removed, which is less likely to cause blockage and is conducive to widespread application.
