Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food fermentation and processing equipment, specifically to an ecological fermentation device for both wine and tea. Background Technology

[0002] Food fermentation tanks are sealed containers that provide an ideal and controllable environment for the growth and metabolism of microorganisms. By precisely controlling core parameters such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation, they enable the large-scale production of various fermented foods and raw materials such as yogurt, beer, soy sauce, and probiotics. They are core equipment in the modern food industry.

[0003] Traditional fermentation equipment, such as foaming tanks for brewing wine or fermentation boxes for fermenting tea (such as black tea and Pu'er tea), is usually single-function. If home brewing enthusiasts or small workshops want to ferment wine and tea at the same time, they need to purchase two different sets of equipment, which is not only costly and space-consuming, but also inconvenient to manage. In addition, conventional fermentation equipment has limited control over ventilation and other aspects, making it difficult to provide a precise and stable ecological environment according to the process requirements of different fermented materials, which affects the quality and stability of the fermented products.
