Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of apricot peel tea processing technology, specifically to a residue filter tank for apricot peel tea processing. Background Technology
[0002] Apricot peel tea is a traditional beverage from Northwest China. It is made primarily from apricot peels through a series of processes including washing, soaking, and boiling. Apricot peel tea has an appealing brownish-red color and a sweet and sour taste. It retains the fruity aroma of apricots and possesses a rich and unique flavor. On a hot summer day, a glass of chilled apricot peel tea can cool you down, relieve heat, and quench your thirst; on a cold winter day, warm apricot peel tea can warm you up and aid digestion. It is not only a delicious drink but also carries the culinary culture and life memories of the people of Northwest China, making it a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
[0003] When making apricot peel tea at home, small filters are commonly used to filter out the residue, a simple process. However, in industrial production settings, these small filters have significant shortcomings. Due to their structural characteristics, their load-bearing capacity is extremely limited, making it difficult to withstand the heavy pressure of large quantities of apricot peel residue in large-scale production, and they are prone to breakage. While some metal filter structures offer improved load-bearing capacity, their design is flawed, resulting in complex disassembly and extremely difficult cleaning. Each cleaning requires significant manpower and time, severely impacting production efficiency and hindering large-scale apricot peel tea production. Furthermore, some solid impurities that need to be filtered require cooling to harden and become easier to filter; current filter canisters lack cooling components, requiring a considerable waiting time before filtration occurs. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned problems, this utility model proposes a residue filter tank for apricot peel tea processing, which features a filter structure that is easy to disassemble and clean, has an auxiliary cooling component, and reduces waiting time.

Furthermore, the connecting plate hinged to the tank body is detachable from the base, making it easy to remove the tank for cleaning.
[0016] The stirrer agitates the apricot tea inside the container, ensuring rapid and even cooling. The spiral cooling pipes conform to the inner wall of the container, and the coolant circulates through the inlet and outlet pipes, increasing the contact area with the apricot tea, accelerating heat exchange, and effectively improving cooling efficiency, thus significantly reducing the cooling time.
