Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dehydration processing technology, specifically relating to a dehydration processing device for animal fats. Background Technology
[0002] Animal fats are processed from fats extracted from animal tissues and are generally used in food processing, as well as in industrial and cosmetic fields. During the production of animal fats, dehydration is required. Current technologies mostly dehydrate the fats by heating and evaporating the water, based on the principle that water and fat have different boiling points, thus evaporating the water contained in the fats.
[0003] However, using heating for dehydration requires heating the oil to at least the boiling point of water, which not only results in low dehydration efficiency but also causes the properties of the oil to change with prolonged heating, reducing the quality of the oil. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a dehydration processing device for animal fats.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A dehydration processing apparatus for animal fats includes a frame. A horizontally positioned dehydration tank is fixedly connected to the upper end of the frame. A feeding device and a temperature and pressure gauge are located at the center of the upper end of the outer wall of the dehydration tank. A discharge device is located on the side end face of the dehydration tank. A heating device is fitted onto the dehydration tank. A horizontally positioned negative pressure condensing tank is fixedly connected to the lower end of the frame. The negative pressure condensing tank is located directly below the dehydration tank. The negative pressure condensing tank includes a negative pressure condensing tank. Vertically upward-facing connecting pipes are located on both sides of the upper end of the outer wall of the negative pressure condensing tank, extending upward into the dehydration tank. A vacuum pump is located at one end of the negative pressure condensing tank. A screw is rotatably connected inside the negative pressure condensing tank. A piston is driven and connected to the screw. The piston is slidably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the negative pressure condensing tank. A cooling device is fitted onto the negative pressure condensing tank.
[0007] As a further provision of the above scheme, the feeding device is equipped with a vertically downward oiling pipe, which is located inside the dehydration tank. The lower end of the oiling pipe is close to the lower end of the inner wall of the dehydration tank. The discharging device is equipped with an oil extraction bend, the lower end of which is close to the lower end of the inner wall of the dehydration tank.
[0008] As a further feature of the above scheme, the upper opening of the connecting pipe is close to the upper end of the inner wall of the dehydration tank. The connecting pipe connects the dehydration tank and the negative pressure condensing tank. A filter plate is provided in the negative pressure condensing tank on the side near the vacuum pump. A mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the end of the negative pressure condensing tank away from the vacuum pump. The screw is rotatably connected between the filter plate and the mounting bracket.
[0009] As a further feature of the above solution, a drive motor is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, and the drive motor is connected to the screw drive.
[0010] As a further feature of the above scheme, drain valves are provided on both sides of the lower inner wall of the negative pressure condenser, and the drain valves are located below the connecting pipe.
[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] Liquid grease is added to the dehydration tank via a feeding device and a grease filling pipe. The grease level is below the opening at the top of the connecting pipe. The vacuum pump is started to extract the air from the negative pressure condenser tank. Since the negative pressure condenser tank is connected to the dehydration tank, the pressure inside the dehydration tank also decreases simultaneously. The heating device heats the grease simultaneously. Because the pressure inside the dehydration tank is much lower than atmospheric pressure, the temperature required for the water in the grease to evaporate is reduced, thereby greatly reducing the temperature required for dehydration. With the help of temperature and pressure gauges, the dehydration pressure and temperature are precisely controlled, improving dehydration efficiency and enhancing grease quality.
[0013] During the dehydration process, the drive motor drives the screw to rotate, and the screw drives the piston to move inside the negative pressure condenser, drawing water vapor from the dehydration tank into the negative pressure condenser. Simultaneously, dry air from the negative pressure condenser is transferred into the dehydration tank, and the cooling device condenses and dehumidifies the water vapor, further improving the dehydration efficiency.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a dehydration processing device for animal fats includes a horizontally arranged dehydration tank 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of a frame 1. A feeding device 3 and a temperature and pressure gauge 5 are provided at the center of the upper end of the outer wall of the dehydration tank 2. A discharge device 4 is provided on the side end face of the dehydration tank 2. A heating device 7 is fitted on the dehydration tank 2. A horizontally arranged negative pressure condensing tank device 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the frame 1. The negative pressure condensing tank device 6 is located directly below the dehydration tank 2. The negative pressure condensing tank device 6 includes a negative pressure condensing tank 601. Vertically upward connecting pipes 604 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the outer wall of the negative pressure condensing tank 601. The connecting pipes 604 extend upward into the dehydration tank 2. A vacuum pump 602 is provided at one end of the negative pressure condensing tank 601. A screw 606 is rotatably connected inside the negative pressure condensing tank 601. A piston 608 is drivenly connected to the screw 606. The piston 608 is slidably sealed to the inner wall of the negative pressure condensing tank 601. A cooling device 8 is fitted on the negative pressure condensing tank 601.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the feeding device 3 is equipped with a vertically downward oiling pipe 301, which is located inside the dehydration tank 2. The lower end of the oiling pipe 301 is close to the lower end of the inner wall of the dehydration tank 2. The discharging device 4 is equipped with an oil extraction bend 401, which is also close to the lower end of the inner wall of the dehydration tank 2. The feeding device 3 adds liquid grease to the dehydration tank 2 through the oiling pipe 301, and the discharging device 4 can automatically extract the dehydrated grease from the dehydration tank 2 through the oil extraction bend 401.
[0023] like Figure 4As shown, the upper opening of the connecting pipe 604 is close to the upper end of the inner wall of the dehydration tank 2. The connecting pipe 604 connects the dehydration tank 2 and the negative pressure condenser 601. A filter plate 605 is provided in the negative pressure condenser 601 near the vacuum pump 602. A mounting bracket 603 is fixedly connected to the end of the negative pressure condenser 601 away from the vacuum pump 602. A screw 606 is rotatably connected between the filter plate 605 and the mounting bracket 603. A drive motor 607 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 603. The drive motor 607 is connected to the screw 606 for transmission. Drain valves 609 are provided on both sides of the lower inner wall of the negative pressure condenser 601. The drain valves 609 are located below the connecting pipe 604.
[0024] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, liquid grease is added to the dehydration tank 2 through the feeding device 3 and the oil filling pipe 301. After the addition is completed, the grease level is below the opening at the upper end of the connecting pipe 604 to prevent the grease from flowing from the connecting pipe 604 into the negative pressure condenser 601. The vacuum pump 602 is started, and the vacuum pump 602 extracts the air from the negative pressure condenser 601. The negative pressure condenser 601 is connected to the dehydration tank 2, and the pressure in the dehydration tank 2 is also reduced synchronously. The heating device 7 heats the grease synchronously. Since the pressure in the dehydration tank 2 is much lower than the atmospheric pressure, the temperature required for the water in the grease to evaporate is reduced, thereby greatly reducing the temperature required for dehydration. The temperature and pressure gauge 5 is used to precisely control the dehydration pressure and temperature. After the water in the oil evaporates and vaporizes, it accumulates in the upper area of the inner wall of the dehydration tank 2. The drive motor 607 drives the screw 606 to rotate, and the screw 606 drives the piston 608 to move in the negative pressure condenser 601. The water vapor in the dehydration tank 2 is drawn into the negative pressure condenser 601 through the connecting pipe 604. The dry air in the negative pressure condenser 601 is simultaneously transferred to the dehydration tank 2. The cooling device 8 condenses and dehumidifies the water vapor in the negative pressure condenser 601. When the condensate accumulates to a certain amount and the pressure in the negative pressure condenser 601 is normal, the drain valve 609 is opened to drain the condensate.
