Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sterilization and anti-clogging technology, specifically to a coconut milk pasteurization device. Background Technology

[0002] Pasteurization involves heating coconut milk to a specific temperature (usually 72-85°C) and holding it at that temperature for a precise time (usually 15-30 seconds), then rapidly cooling it to kill pathogenic bacteria and most spoilage bacteria, while preserving flavor, nutrients, and physical stability to the greatest extent possible.

[0003] Proteins (especially after denaturation) and fats in coconut milk are prone to depositing and carbonizing on the heating plates of plate heat exchangers, forming stubborn fouling. At the same time, fine particles (coconut fiber) in coconut milk tend to accumulate in the narrow flow channels of plate heat exchangers, causing partial or complete blockage of the channels, reducing flow rate and heat exchange efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we propose a coconut milk pasteurization device that can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, the impurity filtering element includes a filter mesh, which has at least one filter screen, and the filter screen is detachably installed on the main pipe. In practical applications, this design can effectively filter impurities and improve the taste of the milk.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a main frame and anti-collision pads, with the plate heat exchanger body installed within the main frame. Multiple anti-collision pads are provided, and both ends of each pad abut against the inner wall of the main frame and the outer wall of the plate heat exchanger body, respectively. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is to prevent contact wear between the plate heat exchanger body and the main frame caused by vibrations from vibrating components in the process intervention assembly; its actual purpose is to provide vibration isolation protection.

[0009] Furthermore, the temperature control component includes an electrically conductive heat-conducting sleeve, which is fixedly mounted on the main pipe and electrically connected to an external power source. The heat-conducting sleeve is made of an electrothermal material. In practical design, the purpose of this design is to provide a sustainable heating temperature and maintain a stable temperature.

[0010] Furthermore, the vibrating element includes at least one vibration motor, wherein the vibration motors are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the plate heat exchanger body. In practical applications, this design, through multiple vibration motors, can effectively achieve vibration of the plate heat exchanger body, thereby preventing solids or particles from accumulating on the pipe wall.

[0011] Furthermore, the backflush component also includes a retaining ring, within which the shaftless helical impeller is rotatably mounted; the retaining ring is fixedly mounted inside the pipe opening at the other end of the plate heat exchanger body. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is to enable the rotation of the shaftless helical impeller, thereby limiting its rotation area.

[0012] Furthermore, the recoil component also includes a fixing magnetic block, and the shaftless spiral impeller is also provided with a mounting groove. The mounting groove is provided in three places, evenly distributed along the outer wall of the shaftless spiral impeller and close to the inner wall of the fixing ring. The fixing magnetic block is provided in three places and is respectively installed on the mounting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the driving component includes a drive motor and an electromagnetic rotating block; the electromagnetic rotating block is fixedly mounted on the shaft of the drive motor, is connected to an external power source, is positioned close to the fixed magnetic block, and is magnetically connected to the fixed magnetic block. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is to achieve efficient rotation. Through magnetic drive, in actual operation, the drive motor can effectively achieve the forward and reverse rotation of the shaftless helical impeller by rotating forward and reverse. In this way, under the drive of the blades, the flow direction of the liquid can be changed, achieving accelerated flow and reverse impact, further improving the cleaning of the pipe wall and reducing blockage.

[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the coconut milk pasteurization device provided by this utility model are as follows:
