Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, and more specifically, to a dehydration and drying system for creatine monohydrate crystals. Background Technology

[0002] Creatine monohydrate is produced by dissolving and crystallizing creatine to form white crystals containing one molecule of water of crystallization – Creatine Monohydrate. Subsequently, it undergoes centrifugal dehydration, fluidized bed drying, pulverization and sieving, metal foreign object detection and vacuum packaging to obtain a finished product with a purity ≥99.9% and a particle size ≤200 µm, which can be used as a pharmaceutical raw material or sports nutrition additive.

[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN222187541U) that discloses a drying and pulverizing device for creatine monohydrate. The device includes a drying chamber, a controller fixedly connected to the side surface of the drying chamber, a first motor fixedly connected to the side surface of the drying chamber, a lead screw fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor, a sleeve threadedly connected to the side surface of the lead screw, a limit block fixedly connected to the side surface of the sleeve, a scraper fixedly connected to the side surface of the sleeve, and a receiving plate fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the drying chamber. This structure, through the cooperation of the drying chamber, receiving plate, inspection door, insert plate, first motor, lead screw, and scraper, allows the powder to be pushed out without opening the chamber door during scraper movement after drying, preventing heat loss and waste caused by opening the door. It also effectively reduces the risk of burns from hot air. The presence of a filter ensures that the material is completely pulverized and falls off, preventing uneven particle size distribution.

[0004] When the device is running, the filter screen is only supported circumferentially and suspended in the middle. The creatine monohydrate powder is rapidly piled up towards the center due to the centrifugal force of the pulverizing fan, causing local blockage of the mesh and a sharp drop in sieving efficiency. At the same time, the heat from the bottom heating plate radiates directly upwards, continuously baking the filter screen and the piled-up material above. This not only increases the temperature of the screen and intensifies powder adhesion, but also causes the insufficiently pulverized particles in the upper layer to soften due to heat, further hindering sieving and reducing the uniformity of pulverization. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a dehydration and drying system for creatine monohydrate crystals to solve the problems of grid blockage in the middle stack and sticking at the top during bottom heating.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a creatine monohydrate crystal dehydration and drying system, comprising: a stirring tank; a stirring assembly mounted on the stirring tank, the stirring assembly being used to stir and filter the raw materials; a uniform feeding assembly mounted at the bottom of the stirring tank, the uniform feeding assembly being used to uniformly feed the raw materials; a drying and crystallization assembly mounted at the bottom of the uniform feeding assembly, the drying and crystallization assembly being used to dry and crystallize creatine monohydrate; and a bottom receiving assembly mounted at the bottom of the drying and crystallization assembly, the bottom receiving assembly being used to receive creatine monohydrate crystals.

[0007] Preferably, the stirring assembly includes: a motor fixedly installed on the top of the stirring tank, a rotating shaft fixedly installed on the drive end of the motor, a threaded stirring blade fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and a leakage hole opened on the outer surface of the threaded stirring blade.

[0008] Preferably, the stirring assembly further includes: a thermometer fixedly installed inside the stirring tank, a pressure balancer fixedly installed on the top of the stirring tank, and a filter plate fixedly installed inside the stirring tank.

[0009] Preferably, the uniform feeding assembly includes: a feeding bucket one fixedly installed at the bottom of the mixing tank, a feeding slope fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter plate, an installation rod fixedly installed inside the feeding bucket one, a trapezoidal feeding trough fixedly installed on the inner side of the installation rod, and a feeding hole opened on the trapezoidal feeding trough.

[0010] Preferably, the drying and crystallization assembly includes: a second feeding hopper fixedly installed at the bottom of the first feeding hopper, a trapezoidal metal drying trough fixedly installed inside the second feeding hopper, a heating tube fixedly installed inside the trapezoidal metal drying trough, and an installation plate fixedly installed at the bottom of the second feeding hopper.

[0011] Preferably, the drying and crystallization assembly further includes: a second motor fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate, a second rotating shaft fixedly installed at the drive end of the second motor, and a scraper fixedly installed at the top of the second rotating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the heating tubes are provided in three sets, and the three sets of heating tubes are equally spaced inside the trapezoidal metal drying tank.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention involves the raw materials first falling into a mixing tank. A motor drives a rotating shaft and threaded stirring blades to simultaneously stir and push the crystals towards a filter plate. A vent hole promptly releases pressure and disperses the material, preventing accumulation and clogging of the filter screen in the center. The filtered wet crystals then flow down a slope into a trapezoidal discharge trough, where they are evenly distributed through the discharge holes, preventing instantaneous piling. The crystals then enter a trapezoidal metal drying tank in a second discharge hopper. Three sets of heating tubes provide zoned heating, with the heat decreasing gradually from bottom to top to reduce overheating and sticking to the filter screen. A second motor drives a scraper to continuously scrape, preventing localized overheating and clumping, and pushing the dried crystals to the left or right receiving tank for alternating collection, achieving continuous, uniform, and low-residue dehydration and drying.
