Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of juice production and processing technology, and specifically relates to a vacuum degassing tank for juice production. Background Technology

[0002] During fruit juice production and processing, gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide present in the intercellular spaces of the fruit can dissolve and enter the juice, or be absorbed by fruit pulp particles and colloids. During pulp crushing, the surface area of ​​the juice in contact with the atmosphere increases, leading to an increase in gas content. Degassing treatment can effectively remove these gases.

[0003] Chinese Patent Application No. 202421048513.5 discloses a vacuum degassing tank for fruit juice production and processing. This utility model relates to the field of fruit juice production and processing technology. The vacuum degassing tank first uses a vacuum pump and suction pipe to create a negative pressure inside the tank. Then, the feed pipe is connected to the delivery pipe, allowing fruit juice to enter the distribution pipe through the feed pipe and be sprayed into the tank from the nozzle. A drive motor rotates the shaft and the distribution pipe, causing the fruit juice to be sprayed evenly at the lower end of the baffle, increasing the travel distance of the fruit juice within the tank. The baffle blocks and guides the upward-sprayed fruit juice, allowing it to undergo initial degassing within the tank and converge towards the bottom. The shaft drives the stirring blades to rotate, stirring the fruit juice gathered at the bottom of the tank and causing the support plate to rotate. This allows the scraper to scrape and guide the fruit juice from the inner wall of the tank and the lower surface of the baffle, preventing it from adhering to the inside of the tank and facilitating subsequent cleaning and maintenance.

[0004] The aforementioned patent cannot regulate the temperature inside the deaeration tank during use, which affects the quality of the juice due to the temperature during deaeration. High temperatures can cause loss of juice flavor, while low temperatures can affect the deaeration effect. Furthermore, the patent cannot filter out large pieces of pulp during juice feeding, which can lead to blockage of the spray pipes inside the deaeration tank and affect work efficiency.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When degassing is required during the juice production and processing, the vacuum pump 5 is first turned on to extract air from the inside of the degassing tank body 1. Then, the juice is added into the inside of the degassing tank body 1 from the upper pipe. At the same time, large pieces of pulp in the juice are filtered and blocked by the funnel filter screen 92 to prevent the pulp from directly entering the guide pipe 8 and spray pipe 3 and causing blockage. This improves the feeding efficiency of the juice and ensures the quality of the equipment. In addition, the funnel filter screen 92 adopts a funnel shape to increase the load capacity and filtration efficiency, thereby improving the effect of the equipment.

[0040] When the juice enters the deaeration tank body 1 for deaeration, the staff can use the embedded thermometer 76 to understand the temperature of the juice inside the deaeration tank body 1 so as to regulate the temperature of the juice and prevent high temperature from causing loss of juice flavor or low temperature from affecting the deaeration effect. When the temperature is too low, the heating wire 73 inside the insulation sleeve 74 is turned on. The heating wire 73 continuously heats the inside of the deaeration tank body 1 and keeps it warm through the insulation sleeve 74 to ensure that the juice can be heated and to ensure the quality of juice deaeration.

[0041] When the temperature is too high, the intake fan 771 is turned on to extract air. The air is filtered through the grid plate 776 and the activated carbon filter 774 and then blown into the interior of the insulation jacket 74. The air cools the surface of the deaeration tank body 1, ensuring that the juice can be cooled down, preventing the loss of juice flavor and improving product quality.
