Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tallow refining equipment, specifically to a tallow refining equipment for producing yak tallow. Background Technology
[0002] Yak weight varies significantly with the seasons, exhibiting a pattern of "fat in summer, strong in autumn, thin in winter, and weak in spring," with weight fluctuations reaching up to 30%. During the warmer seasons, lush vegetation and high nutritional levels allow yaks to quickly convert excess energy into fat. In winter, when forage is scarce, yaks rely on their body fat to maintain energy balance. Yaks are unique to the high-altitude regions, and their fat is rich in various beneficial components. Yak oil is an animal fat extracted from yak fat.
[0003] When refining yak fat, the cut or ground fat tissue is placed in a heated container and heated to melt it.
[0004] Currently, animal fat processing plants are small in scale and have rudimentary equipment. The refining of yak fat is mostly done manually, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

A first hydraulic cylinder is vertically fixedly installed above the cutting platform. A first cutting plate is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the first hydraulic cylinder. Multiple first cutting blades for cutting the tallow are equidistantly arranged at the bottom end of the first cutting plate. A first discharge port is provided on the other side of the tallow cutting device. The first hydraulic cylinder drives the first cutting plate to move downwards, cutting the yak fat on the cutting platform. The cut yak fat can leave the tallow cutting device from the first discharge port and enter the microwave refining device for refining.
[0007] The microwave refining device has a second feeding port on one side near the first discharge port. The microwave refining device is equipped with multiple sets of microwave devices for heating beef tallow. Two sets of dehumidifying fans are installed at the top of the microwave refining device.

The top surface of the feeding platform is flush with the bottom end of the first feeding port. An electric push rod is horizontally fixedly installed on the feeding platform, and a push plate is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the electric push rod. The electric push rod drives the push plate to move to the right, pushing the yak fat on the feeding platform onto the cutting platform for easy cutting.

[0011] The second hydraulic cylinder can push the second cutting blade upwards, passing through the slot to cut the yak fat on the cutting platform. The first cutting blade cuts the yak fat laterally, and the second cutting blade cuts it longitudinally. Through the cooperation of the first and second cutting blades, the yak fat is cut into blocks, making it easier to heat and melt.
[0012] Preferably, a first conveying device is provided between the tallow cutting device and the microwave refining device. A conveying pipe is fixedly installed on the first discharge port, and a tray is provided on the first conveying device. The outlet end of the conveying pipe is located directly above the tray. The tray is used to hold the yak fat cut into blocks. The first conveying device is used to convey the tray to the microwave refining device, where the blocky yak fat melts.
