Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of molasses alcohol production equipment, specifically, this utility model relates to a yeast replenishment device. Background Technology

[0002] Yeast plays a wide and important role in alcohol production. Specifically, its applications include: promoting fermentation: Yeast breaks down sugars to produce carbon dioxide and alcohol, causing the sugar solution to swell and facilitating subsequent extraction and crystallization. This process helps improve the purity and quality of the sugar solution; increasing yield: Yeast fermentation removes some impurities from the sugar solution, reducing impurity content and thus increasing the yield and quality of alcohol production; and improving product quality: Through yeast fermentation, the sugar solution can be further purified, making it purer, reducing unpleasant tastes and colors, and improving the quality of alcohol production.

[0003] Yeast is continuously consumed after being added to the sugar juice fermentation tank and needs to be added according to the real-time production situation. In the existing technology, the yeast cannot be added in time, which will cause changes in the liquid level and temperature in the sugar juice fermentation tank, affecting the fermentation effect. In addition, the yeast in the existing technology is mostly purchased externally, and the waste molasses left over from sugar production cannot be recycled, resulting in resource waste.
