Fermentation is the process by which microorganisms convert organic matter into target products, and complex microorganisms require complex microbial fermentation reactors for fermentation.

[0003] Currently, most existing compound microbial fermentation reactors use an insulation cavity between the inner and outer shells to reduce heat transfer to the outside. However, the insulation cavity contains connecting rods for supporting and fixing the inner and outer shells, but does not form a thermal break structure, which makes it easy for heat to transfer and thus affects the stability of the temperature inside the reactor.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a constant-temperature reaction vessel for the fermentation of compound bacteria in order to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
