[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sodium alginate processing technology, specifically a grinding device for processing sodium alginate. Background Technology

[0002] Sodium alginate is a byproduct of the extraction of iodine and mannitol from brown algae such as kelp or Sargassum. Its molecule is composed of β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic acid (G) linked by (1→4) bonds. It is a natural polysaccharide with the stability, solubility, viscosity and safety required for pharmaceutical excipients. Sodium alginate has been widely used in the food industry and the pharmaceutical field.

[0003] Currently, the production and processing of sodium alginate requires grinding. Due to the large size of sodium alginate particles, a lot of time is wasted during the grinding process. In addition, the distance between the grinding rollers needs to be adjusted according to the different particle sizes required for sodium alginate, but the current equipment does not make it convenient to adjust the distance between the grinding rollers.

[0004] The existing Chinese patent with publication number CN220969285U discloses a grinding device for sodium alginate production, including a housing. The housing contains a grinding assembly for grinding sodium alginate raw materials. The grinding assembly includes a support platform fixed to the outer wall of the housing. A motor is fixedly mounted on the support platform. A grinding shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A grinding groove is provided below the grinding shaft. A partition is provided above the grinding shaft. A cleaning scraper is provided inside the housing. A crushing auger is provided above the partition.

[0005] Regarding the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: when the device adjusts the distance between the grinding tank and the grinding shaft, the fixed size of the grinding tank and the grinding shaft results in a large gap between the different points of the two during adjustment, which needs to be improved; therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a grinding device for processing sodium alginate is proposed.
