Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of enzymatic hydrolysis preparation technology, and in particular to an oil-water separation device for animal fat enzymatic hydrolysis products. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the common oil refining process in edible tallow factories is the high-temperature frying method. This involves crushing raw fat and directly feeding it into a refining pot, where heat sources such as heat transfer oil are used to render the fat, evaporating the moisture and ultimately obtaining crude tallow and fried residue. Subsequently, the residue is separated and moderately refined to obtain tallow. For example, patent CN202111203018.8 discloses an enzymatic pretreatment process for tallow refining. After crushing the raw beef fat, it is fed into an enzymatic hydrolysis tank. With the participation of enzymes such as proteases and lipases, an enzymatic hydrolysis reaction occurs, destroying the cells and releasing intracellular water and fat. The hydrolysis product is a mixture of fat, water, and a large amount of flocculent meat residue. This mixture is then pumped into a refining pot for refining.
[0003] However, if the high temperature and time of high-temperature frying are too high, nutrients will decompose, the flavor will be burnt and bitter, and harmful substances will be produced. The final product will also have a high acid value and peroxide value, resulting in unsatisfactory sensory evaluation of the oil. In addition, it will increase energy consumption, and the separation system will have difficulty cleaning the flocculent meat residue in the mixture, making it difficult to meet production needs. Therefore, an oil-water separation device for enzymatic hydrolysis products of animal fat was designed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an oil-water separation device for enzymatic hydrolysis products of animal fats.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An oil-water separation device for animal lipase hydrolysis products includes a base, a box body fixedly connected to the top of the base, an observation window with a transparent glass plate fixedly installed at the front end of the box body, a temperature sensor fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the box body, an air pump fixedly connected to the bottom side of one side of the outer wall of the box body, an air pump output end penetrating an air inflator pipe, an air inflator pipe end penetrating the box body with a fixed air bubble, a circular hole adapted to the air inflator pipe at one bottom end of the box body, a water pipe fixedly fitted to one end of the outer wall of the box body, a circular hole adapted to the water pipe at the bottom of the box body, a water spray pipe fixedly connected to the top of the water pipe penetrating the top of the box body, and a circular hole adapted to the water pipe at the top of the box body, a water spray pipe fixedly connected to one inner side of the box body, multiple through holes evenly spaced at the bottom of the water spray pipe, a water pump connected in series on the water pipe, and a water pump fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the box body.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a feed box is fixedly connected to the rear end of the top of the box, and a square hole adapted to the feed box is opened on the top of the box. A filter cylinder is rotatably connected to the feed box at the front end of the bottom inside the box.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a screw cap is screwed to the top of the rear end of the box, and a threaded hole for the screw cap is opened at the rear end of the top of the box. A round rod is fixedly connected to the front end of the screw cap, and a scraper is fixedly connected to the other end of the round rod. The scraper is adapted to the inner wall of the filter cartridge. A round hole adapted to the scraper is opened at the rear end of the bottom of the feed box, and a handle is fixedly connected to the rear end of the screw cap.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, multiple electric heating wires are fixedly connected at equal intervals at the top of both sides of the inner side of the base, and a heat insulation plate is fixedly connected at the middle of the inner side of the base.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the tank, and a first control valve is fixedly connected to the water outlet pipe. An oil removal pipe is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank, and a second control valve is fixedly connected to the oil removal pipe.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a motor is fixedly connected to the front end of the top of the housing, and the output end of the motor passes through the housing and is fixedly connected to the front end of the filter cartridge.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a control panel is fixedly connected to the front end of the base, and the control panel is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, the electric heating wire and the motor respectively.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This utility model employs technologies such as an observation window, temperature sensor, control panel, water outlet pipe, oil removal pipe, motor, electric heating wire, air pump, air inlet pipe, and bubble balls. After the enzymatic hydrolysis product mixture enters the chamber, the chamber temperature is raised to approximately 60 degrees Celsius, causing water and oil to separate. Bubbles increase the buoyancy of the oil in the bottom water, further promoting oil-water separation. The water at the bottom is discharged through the water outlet pipe and then fully heated, causing all the water in the oil to evaporate. This effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background technology, achieving oil-water separation after the enzymatic hydrolysis product mixture enters the chamber, followed by drainage of the bottom water and subsequent heating to evaporate any remaining moisture. This increases the processing capacity of oil-water separation while saving energy and preventing excessively high temperatures and prolonged heating from causing nutrient decomposition, burnt flavor, and the production of harmful substances.
[0015] This utility model utilizes a filter cylinder, a water spray pipe, a scraper, a round rod, a feed box, a screw cap, and a handle. The rotation of the filter cylinder filters flocculent meat residue without clogging the filter holes. Furthermore, the spraying of warm water allows the oil in the flocculent meat residue to enter the housing with the water flow, reducing oil loss. Pulling out the screw cap allows the flocculent meat residue to be discharged, improving the practicality of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In this embodiment, a screw cap 20 is screwed to the top of the rear end of the housing 2. A threaded hole for the screw cap 20 is opened at the rear end of the top of the housing 2. A round rod 18 is fixedly connected to the front end of the screw cap 20. A scraper 17 is fixedly connected to the other end of the round rod 18.

[0025] In this embodiment, multiple electric heating wires 8 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the top of both sides of the inner side of the base 1, and a heat insulation plate 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the base 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, a control panel 4 is fixedly connected to the front end of the base 1, and the control panel 4 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 3, the electric heating wire 8 and the motor 7 respectively. The control panel 4 is used to control the motor 7, the electric heating wire 8 and so on.
[0029] Working principle: After the raw beef fat is crushed, it is fed into the enzymatic hydrolysis tank. With the participation of enzymes such as protease and lipase, the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction occurs, destroying the cells and releasing intracellular water and fat. The hydrolysis product is a mixture of fat, water, and a large amount of flocculent meat residue. This mixture is pumped into the chamber 2 through the feed box 19. The motor 7 is started, causing the filter cartridge 15 to rotate. The filter cartridge 15 is designed to prevent the flocculent meat residue from entering the chamber 2, collecting it in the filter cartridge 15. In step 5, as the filter cartridge 15 rotates, the flocculent meat residue will not clog the bottom of the filter cartridge 15, facilitating the entry of oil and water into the housing 2. The flocculent meat residue remains in the filter cartridge 15. When there is a large amount of flocculent meat residue in the filter cartridge 15, rotating the screw cap 20 allows the scraper 17 to remove the flocculent meat residue from the inside of the filter cartridge 15, thus cleaning the filter cartridge 15. Once the oil and water enter the housing 2, part of the electric heating wire 8 can be turned on to heat the oil and water inside the housing 2, maintaining the water temperature at [temperature range missing]. At around 60 degrees Celsius, the oil and water are separated, with the oil at the top and the water at the bottom. The air pump 10 and water pump 13 are activated. Water pump 13 sends warm water from the bottom through water pipe 12 into spray pipe 16, spraying the warm water onto filter cartridge 15. This allows the oil in the flocculent meat scraps to flow with the water into the bottom of the chamber 2, ensuring that the meat scraps do not carry away too much oil. Air pump 10 delivers air to air pipe 11 and air bubble ball 14, generating bubbles at the bottom of chamber 2. These bubbles adhere to the oil droplets, increasing their buoyancy and making the oil-water separation more thorough. Observation is done through observation window 201. Once the oil-water separation is complete, the first control valve 501 is opened, allowing the water at the bottom of chamber 2 to drain through outlet pipe 5. After the water at the bottom is mostly drained, all electric heating wires 8 are activated through control panel 4 to heat chamber 2, evaporating any remaining water and completely dehydrating the oil inside. This reduces energy consumption and increases the oil-water separation capacity.
