Abstract
Description

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a chestnut kernel sterilization device. Background Technology
[0002] Chestnut kernels are a processed food made from chestnuts through shelling. The flesh is slightly yellow and can be eaten directly or used in cooking such as soups and porridge. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chestnut kernels have functions such as strengthening the waist and kidneys, invigorating the spleen, stopping diarrhea, preventing cancer, and promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding. Modern medicine believes that the unsaturated fatty acids contained in chestnuts have conditioning effects for patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease. Modern processing uses an assembly line for peeling, sorting, quality inspection, blanching, sterilization, and quick-freezing to produce ready-to-eat chestnut kernels, which can be stored for 18 months.

After a period of high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization, the water is ready. When it is necessary to cool the hot water, the heating rod 17 inside the heating cylinder 15 is turned off. The high-temperature circulating pump 5 draws the hot water from the sterilizer 2 and sends it into the inlet tank 8. The hot water in the inlet tank 8 flows into the outlet tank 10 through the aluminum alloy flat tube 12. The fan 14 blows the aluminum alloy flat tube 12 and the heat dissipation fins 13 to accelerate the cooling of the water. With the help of the temperature sensor 27, precise temperature control can be achieved. The cooled water flows back into the sterilizer 2 along the heating cylinder 15.
