[0052] Open the top cover 2, and the material enters the inner layer of the vessel 3 through the feed inlet. The material can be stirred using a stirrer. When the inner layer of the vessel 3 needs to be heated, the heating medium inside the heating tank enters the inner cavity of the heat exchange hood 4 through the inner heating pipe. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the inner layer of the vessel 3 is too high, the cooling medium inside the cooling tank is sent into the outer cavity through the outer cooling pipe to achieve a smooth transition of the temperature inside the inner layer of the vessel 3. At the same time, the cooling medium can also be sent into the inner cavity through the inner heat exchange pipe for auxiliary cooling. The processed material is discharged from the discharge port of the inner layer of the vessel 3 and the bottom discharge port of the lower vessel 12.
