Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of production equipment technology, specifically relating to a production equipment for dietary transferrin. Background Technology

[0002] Lactoferrin and ovotransferrin are the two existing dietary transferrins that are widely used in various industries such as food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Low-saturation dietary transferrin has strong antioxidant and antibacterial effects, while high-iron-saturation dietary transferrin has strong iron delivery capacity. When it is necessary to produce dietary transferrin with different iron saturation, it is usually produced using existing production equipment, which is the equipment used for producing dietary transferrin.

[0003] Existing high-iron-saturation dietary transferrins possess strong iron delivery capabilities. Therefore, based on the different functions of dietary transferrins with varying iron saturation levels, it is necessary to produce dietary transferrins with different iron saturation levels for different products. This means that existing production equipment for lactoferrin and ovotransferrin focuses solely on producing proteins with a single iron saturation level, without adjusting the iron saturation during the production process. This makes the production equipment inconvenient and cumbersome to operate, and may even result in dietary transferrins that do not meet standards. This also affects the convenience and standardization of adjusting the iron saturation of dietary transferrin production equipment. Therefore, this invention proposes a production equipment for dietary transferrin. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a production device for dietary transferrin, comprising a main body 100, which includes a reactor 101 and a filter 102. The main body 100 also includes:

[0026] The reaction production mechanism includes a filter assembly 1 disposed on one side of reactor 101, a reaction assembly disposed on one side of filter assembly 1, a filter assembly 2 disposed on one side of the reaction assembly, a drying assembly disposed on the side of filter assembly 2, and a filter circulation assembly disposed at the connection between reactor 101, filter assembly 1, filter assembly 2 and filter 3 102. The main body of the production equipment 100 can be used to facilitate the adjustment of iron saturation during production. The characteristics of dietary transferrin in acidic environment to remove iron ions and in alkaline environment to bind iron ions can be utilized to prepare dietary transferrin with different iron saturations.

[0027] In order to facilitate the reaction and acidity preparation filtration through the filter assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the filter assembly includes a filter 1012 disposed on one side of the reactor 101. The bottom end of one side of the filter 1012 is connected to the bottom end of the reactor 101 through an installation pipe. During the reaction inside the reactor 101, the pH detection sensor 10142 of the reactor 101 detects the pH and adjusts the pH of the protein solution to 3.5-4.5 so that the iron ions in the original protein can be removed and the protein can be filtered again through the filter 1012.

[0028] To facilitate the adjustment of alkalinity and achieve different saturation levels in the reaction assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the reaction assembly includes a second reactor 1014 disposed on one side of filter one 1012. The bottom end of one side of reactor two 1014 is connected to the bottom end of the side of filter one 1012 via an installation pipe. Both reactor two 1014 and reactor one 101 have inlets 1011 on one side of their tops. Both reactor two 1014 and reactor one 101 have mixing stirrers 1018 connected to their interiors at the middle position via a motor drive. During the reaction in reactor two 1014, pressure is monitored to adjust the protein liquid volume, and the protein concentration is measured by a protein concentration sensor 10143 to calculate the total protein content. The protein is then discharged again through the top inlet. Sodium bicarbonate solution and alkaline solution are injected into reactor 1011. The mixture is stirred thoroughly by a motor-driven stirring device 1018 and detected by a protein concentration sensor 10143. The pH is adjusted to 8.0-8.5. Acidity and alkalinity sensors 10142 and pressure sensors 10141 are fixed to the bottom sides of reactor 1011 and reactor 2, respectively. Protein concentration sensor 10143 is fixed in the middle of reactor 2. During detection, the acidity and alkalinity sensors 10142, pressure sensors 10141, and protein concentration sensors 10143 are all electrically connected to the controller for easy detection and adjustment during the reaction (the controller is existing technology and will not be described in detail here).

[0029] To facilitate pre-filtration via filter assembly two and improve filtration efficiency, in this embodiment, filter assembly two preferably includes filter two 1015 connected to one side of reactor two 1014 via an installation pipe. Pressure booster plates 1019 are provided at the top of filter two 1015 and filter one 1012, and assist push rods 1013 are provided at the top of filter one 1012 and filter two 1015. The bottom end of the assist push rod 1013 is fixed to the surface of the pressure booster plate 1019 with screws. The assist push rod enters filter two 1015 via the installation pipe, filtering out excess iron ions and salt ions and concentrating them. During filtration, pressing the assist push rod 1013 causes the pressure booster plate 1019 to move downwards, thus assisting filtration and improving filtration efficiency.

[0030] In order to facilitate drying and external transmission through the drying assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the drying assembly includes a dryer 1016 installed on one side of the filter 1015 via an installation pipe. A transmission pipe 1017 is installed at the bottom side of the dryer 1016. After filtering out excess iron ions and salt ions and concentrating them, the ions reach the dryer 1016 through the installation pipe, and after drying, they are transmitted out through the transmission pipe 1017.

[0031] To facilitate secondary filtration and effective filtration for production use via the filter circulation assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the filter circulation assembly includes a circulation pipe 1021 located at the connection between the upper surface of filter three 102 and the side of inlet 1011. A discharge port 1022 is provided on the side of filter three 102. The tail end of filter three 102 is connected to the bottom ends of filter one 1012 and filter two 1015 via a fixed pipe. During operation, the salt ions and iron ion solution filtered by filter one 1012 and filter two 1015, which also contains some dietary transferrin, reaches filter three 102 via the fixed pipe and is filtered again. The filtered liquid is then reinjected into reactor one 101 via circulation pipe 1021 and inlet 1011. The remaining filtered liquid is discharged through discharge port 1022.

[0032] An auxiliary support sealing mechanism is provided, which includes an auxiliary support sealing assembly disposed at the connection between the bottom end of the push rod 1013 and the surface of the pressure push plate 1019. When the filtration process is pushed down by the pressure push plate 1019, the auxiliary support sealing mechanism provides auxiliary support to the pressure push plate 1019 to prevent it from being deformed by pressure, and at the same time seals its inner contact surface.

[0033] To facilitate the pressure booster plate 1019 under pressure and prevent deformation through the auxiliary support sealing assembly, and to facilitate auxiliary sealing, in this embodiment, preferably, the auxiliary support sealing assembly includes an auxiliary pressure plate 103 closed on the upper surface of the pressure booster plate 1019. A sealing ring 1031 is fixed to the inner surface of the filter 1012 at the edge of the auxiliary pressure plate 103 by screws. A fixing bolt 1033 is rotatably installed at the inner surface edge of the auxiliary pressure plate 103. The bottom edge of the push rod 1013 has an internal threaded hole 1032 that rotates with the fixing bolt 1033. The auxiliary pressure plate 103 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the pressure booster plate 1019 by the fixing bolt 1033 being inserted into the internal threaded hole 1032 for auxiliary support, preventing deformation under pressure during boosting, and the sealing ring 1031 assists in sealing.

[0034] In this utility model, the pH detection sensor 10142 is model HQ11D, the pressure sensor 10141 is model Cerabar S, and the protein concentration detection sensor 10143 is model RID-20A.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using this food-derived transferrin production equipment, the food-derived transferrin raw material is first introduced into reactor 101 through inlet 1011. Then, citrate solution is injected through inlet 1011. The mixing stirrer 1018 is driven by a motor to rotate and stir. Pressure sensor 10141 detects the pressure, and pH sensor 10142 detects the pH. The pH of the protein solution is adjusted to 3.5-4.5 to remove iron ions from the original protein. Then, it enters filter 1012 through the installed pipeline, where it undergoes filtration, desalination, and concentration.

[0036] The protein liquid enters reactor 2 1014 again. Pressure sensor 10141 detects the pressure and adjusts the volume of the protein liquid. Protein concentration sensor 10143 measures the protein concentration and calculates the total protein content. Sodium bicarbonate solution and alkaline solution are injected again through the top inlet 1011. The motor drives the mixing stirrer 1018 to rotate and fully stir. Protein concentration sensor 10143 detects the stirring and adjusts the pH to 8.0-8.5. After stirring, iron ion solution with different contents is added according to the required iron saturation. After stirring again, it enters filter 2 1015 through the installation pipe to filter out excess iron ions and salt ions and concentrate the solution. Then, it reaches dryer 1016 through the installation pipe. After drying, it is discharged through transmission pipe 1017.

[0037] Then, during operation, the salt ions and iron ions solution that are filtered by filter 1012 and filter 215, which also contains some dietary transferrin, are filtered again by filter 3102 through a fixed pipe. The filtered liquid is then reinjected into reactor 1101 through circulation pipe 1021 and inlet 1011. The remaining filtered liquid is discharged through outlet 1022.

[0038] This allows for convenient adjustment of iron saturation during production. The properties of dietary transferrin, which removes iron ions in acidic environments and binds iron ions in alkaline environments, enable the preparation of dietary transferrin with different iron saturations. Furthermore, a dual filtration device allows for the recycling of the dietary transferrin reaction solution, thereby improving the productivity of dietary transferrin.

[0039] During internal filtration of filters 1012 and 1015, the pressure booster plate 1019 can be moved downward by pressing the booster push rod 1013 to assist filtration, thereby improving filtration efficiency. During the boosting process, the upper surface of the pressure booster plate 1019 is supported by the auxiliary pressure plate 103, and the sealing ring 1031 contacts the inner surface for auxiliary sealing installation, preventing deformation and reduced sealing performance under pressure, improving the sealing effect during the boosting process, and effectively filtering for production use.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
