Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dried bean curd production and processing technology, specifically a drying device for producing dried bean curd. Background Technology

[0002] Tofu skin (yuba) is a traditional soy protein product that is very popular with consumers. It is yellowish-white in color, glossy and translucent, and rich in protein and various nutrients. It is widely used in cooking and food processing. The traditional processing of tofu skin mainly includes key steps such as selecting soybeans, grinding, filtering, boiling, shaping, and drying. Among these, the drying process plays a decisive role in the texture, color and shelf life of the final product.

[0003] In the drying process, many manufacturers still use traditional drying rooms or simple drying tunnels. These devices generally have the problem of low thermal energy utilization. Their working method is often to directly introduce heated air into the drying area to dry the dried bean curd sticks, and then directly discharge the hot and humid exhaust gas containing a large amount of water vapor to the outside.

[0004] This open-type dehumidification mode not only wastes a lot of heat-carrying air, resulting in high energy consumption per unit of product, but also affects the uniformity and efficiency of drying due to unstable heat energy and emission losses, ultimately increasing the company's production costs and restricting further improvement in production efficiency.
