Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of corn syrup production equipment, specifically a temperature control device for microbial control in corn syrup production. Background Technology
[0002] Corn steep liquor is a byproduct of corn starch production, made from corn grits, water, and corn juice. To produce corn starch, corn kernels are first soaked in sulfurous acid. The soaking solution is then concentrated to produce a yellowish-brown liquid called corn steep liquor. It is rich in soluble proteins, growth factors, and some precursor substances, and has a slightly salty taste. It is a widely used organic nitrogen source for microbial growth and can also promote the biosynthesis of antibiotics such as penicillin. Fermentation is a crucial step in the production of corn steep liquor. Controlling the fermentation temperature using temperature control equipment ensures that microorganisms metabolize within the optimal temperature range, thereby improving fermentation efficiency and product quality. Suitable temperatures accelerate microbial growth and metabolism, but excessively high or low temperatures will negatively impact the fermentation process.
[0003] Current temperature control equipment used for microbial control in corn steep liquor production has difficulty in rapidly raising or lowering the temperature, leading to reduced production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, a servo motor is provided on the outer surface of the tank lid, and a main gear disk is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor. Two auxiliary gear disks are meshed with the outer surface of the main gear disk. A second roller is fixedly installed on the outer surface of each of the two auxiliary gear disks. A first roller is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the main gear disk. Both the first and second rollers are rotatably connected to the tank lid.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1.
