Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of distiller's grains feeding technology, specifically a distiller's grains secondary fermentation feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Distillers' grains, a byproduct of the brewing process, are rich in protein, amino acids, and other nutrients, and are widely used in feed, fertilizer, and secondary fermentation. Secondary fermentation of distillers' grains further enhances their nutritional value and added value through the action of specific microorganisms. During secondary fermentation, the treatment and feeding methods of the distillers' grains directly affect the fermentation effect and production efficiency.

[0003] Currently, most feeding devices for secondary fermentation of distiller's grains use traditional manual or mechanized feeding equipment. However, these existing devices have several problems in practical application. First, traditional feeding devices often suffer from poor material flow and uneven feeding during the feeding process, affecting the secondary fermentation effect of the distiller's grains. Second, due to the high particle size and moisture content of the distiller's grains, they are prone to clumping, causing equipment blockages and disrupting the feeding process, thus reducing work efficiency. Furthermore, cleaning existing equipment is cumbersome, and distiller's grain residue is difficult to remove, leading to equipment contamination and hygiene problems in the fermentation environment, which in turn affects the quality and efficiency of fermentation.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a feeding device for secondary fermentation of distiller's grains. Utility Model Content
