Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of saccharification pot technology, and in particular to a device for improving the daily batch efficiency of saccharification in craft beer. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of craft beer, mashing is a crucial step. The mashing process converts the starch in malt into fermentable sugars for use in subsequent fermentation. To achieve this, the mashing tank is one of the core pieces of equipment on a craft beer production line. To meet the production needs of craft beer, the design of mashing tanks is constantly being improved. For example, some advanced mashing tanks are equipped with advanced control systems that can precisely monitor and adjust temperature, pH, and other key parameters to ensure the quality and efficiency of mashing. At the same time, to accommodate different malts and brewing processes, the combination of mashing tanks is also diverse.

[0003] In some saccharification processes, the saccharification liquid needs to be heated to a specific temperature and then held for a period of time to allow the enzymes to function. In existing technologies, heating devices are installed at the bottom or outer surface of the saccharification tank to heat it. However, during the heating process, the outer surface or bottom of the saccharification liquid is heated first, while the inner middle is heated more slowly. This results in uneven heating of the saccharification liquid inside the saccharification tank and local overheating, which leads to low saccharification efficiency and requires a longer heating time for the internal saccharification liquid, thus reducing the daily production efficiency of the saccharification tank.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an apparatus for improving the daily batch efficiency of saccharification in craft beer to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
