[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention's drying device for processing edible flavorings:
[0011] This utility model discloses a drying device for processing edible flavorings. It uses a material-feeding roller in conjunction with a conveyor belt to spread the material to be dried evenly on the conveyor belt, which can effectively prevent the material from piling up during drying and make the material dry more evenly. In addition, hot air is used to perform secondary drying on the material entering the cylinder, so that the material is dried more thoroughly and the shelf life of the material is extended. Through the roller and filter screen at the bottom of the cylinder, the sticky and lumpy material can be crushed to ensure product quality. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0014] The drying apparatus for processing edible flavorings of this invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0015] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0016] See Figure 1 This embodiment provides a drying device for processing edible flavorings. The drying device adopts a production line drying method to dry the flavorings to be dried in batches, which not only makes the flavorings dry evenly, but also prevents the flavorings from sticking together and clumping, effectively improving product quality. It mainly includes a frame 1 and a drying mechanism and a crushing mechanism installed on the frame 1.
[0017] The drying mechanism includes a feed inlet, a conveyor belt 6, and an infrared heater 7. The feed inlet is located at the front end of the conveyor belt 6, and a hopper 2 is installed at the feed inlet. The lower part of the hopper 2 is provided with oppositely arranged feeding rollers 3 for controlling the feed flow. The ends of the two feeding rollers 3 are equipped with meshing gears to ensure the synchronous operation of the two feeding rollers. The infrared heater 7 is located above the conveyor belt 6. Baffles are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 6 to prevent material from flowing into the frame and causing waste. A brush 8 is installed below the rear end of the conveyor belt 6 to sweep off the material adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt. The rear end of the conveyor belt 6 is connected to the top of the cylinder 10 through a material pipe 9.
[0018] The crushing mechanism includes a cylinder 10, a filter screen 18, a roller 16, and a hot air assembly. The filter screen 18 is located at the lower part of the cylinder 10, and the roller 16 is arranged horizontally above the filter screen 18. The middle part of the roller 16 is connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 17, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 17 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 15. An inclined guide plate 11 is provided on the inner wall of the cylinder 10. The hot air assembly is located on the inner wall of the cylinder 10. The hot air assembly includes a nozzle 12, an air pipe 13, and a hot air blower 14.

[0019] In operation, first set the running speed of the feeding roller and the conveyor belt, add the edible flavoring material to be dried into the hopper, the material is evenly spread on the conveyor belt by the feeding roller, and dried by the infrared heater above the conveyor belt. The material enters the cylinder through the material pipe at the end of the conveyor belt and falls onto the guide plate. The nozzle sprays dry hot air into the guide plate, pushing the material downward and simultaneously drying the material. After the material falls onto the filter screen, the continuously rotating roller pushes the material through the filter screen. The material that is stuck together is crushed by the roller and passes through. The material is collected in the buffer hopper and flows to the next process.
