Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fermentation product treatment equipment, and in particular relates to a system for optimizing the performance of yeast metabolites. Background Technology The main factors affecting centrifugal atomization drying are material viscosity, homogeneity, and solids content. Viscosity is one of the key factors. The higher the viscosity, the stronger the internal cohesion of the liquid, making it more difficult to be torn apart and atomized by centrifugal force. High viscosity leads to thicker and longer liquid filaments, resulting in larger droplets and potentially excessive fine powder or strips. High viscosity also increases the difficulty of pumping and feeding. Material homogeneity is another crucial factor. The higher the centrifugal disc speed, the greater the centrifugal force, resulting in a thinner liquid film, finer liquid filaments, and smaller, more uniformly distributed droplets. If the material homogeneity is insufficient, differences in particle size will lead to significant variations in the horizontal atomization effect. Small particles may atomize very well, while large particles may stick to the walls due to insufficient horizontal movement distance (insufficient tower diameter), greatly affecting production efficiency.
[0002] Conventional centrifugal atomizing dryers optimize material shape primarily through sedimentation or by heating the material, which increases energy consumption significantly. Conventional sedimentation processes are lengthy and inefficient. The purpose of this invention is to maximize the optimization of material properties while minimizing energy consumption, thereby increasing the production capacity of centrifugal atomizing dryers and reducing energy consumption. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a system for optimizing the performance of yeast metabolites. The technical solution includes a raw material tank. The lower side wall of the raw material tank is connected to the upper side wall of a sedimentation tank via a first screw pump and a homogenizing pump. The bottom side wall of the sedimentation tank is connected to the top of a concentrate tank via a second screw pump. The concentrate tank is equipped with a heating coil inside. The outlet of the heating coil is connected to the inlet of the heating coil via a pipe via a water storage tank, a water pump, and a hot air furnace, forming a hot water circulation pipeline.
[0004] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the side wall of the sedimentation tank is further provided with a first circulation pipe connected to the homogenizing pump, forming a circulation pipe between the homogenizing pump and the sedimentation tank. The first circulation pipe is also provided with a valve body for controlling the on / off state.
[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the pipeline between the first screw pump and the homogenizing pump is further provided with a second circulation pipeline connected to the top of the raw material tank, forming a circulation pipeline between the raw material tank and the first screw pump. The second circulation pipeline is provided with a valve body for controlling the on / off state.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the pipeline between the raw material tank and the first screw pump is further provided with a first branch pipeline connected to the second screw pump, and the pipeline between the second screw pump and the slurry tank is further provided with a second branch pipeline connected to the top of the sedimentation tank. Both the first branch pipeline and the second branch pipeline are provided with valves for controlling the on / off state.
[0007] In a more preferred embodiment, a third branch pipe is provided on the second circulation pipe and connected to the top of the thickened slurry tank. The third branch pipe is equipped with a valve body for controlling the on / off state.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, valves for controlling the on / off state are provided between the first screw pump and the homogenizing pump, between the sedimentation tank and the second screw pump, and between the second screw pump and the thickener tank.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, both the sedimentation tank and the slurry tank are equipped with level gauges on their side walls for monitoring the liquid level.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a cleaning pipe is provided on the pipeline between the water pump and the hot air furnace.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, an exhaust pipe is provided on the pipe between the hot air furnace and the water inlet of the heating coil.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) The time spent blocking towers has been reduced from about 100 hours per month to less than 60 hours per month. At the same time, the proportion of time spent blocking towers has also been reduced from 5% to about 2%, resulting in a significant increase in operating time and directly increasing economic benefits. (2) The homogenization effect has also been improved. Originally, the thick slurry could not flow down naturally when sieving and required manual external force. After rinsing with water, a large number of particles remained. After the modification, the thick slurry flows down naturally when sieving without manual external force, and no obvious particles remain after rinsing with water. (3) After optimizing the solution of static sedimentation + homogenization emulsification + material heating, the single spray tower capacity of our company increased from 3.2m³ / h to 4.4m³ / h, and the output increased by 37.5%, with significant production benefits.

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0016] Example like Figure 1 The system shown for optimizing yeast metabolite performance includes a raw material tank 1. The lower side wall of the raw material tank 1 is connected to the upper side wall of the sedimentation tank 5 via a first screw pump 2 and a homogenizing pump 4. The bottom side wall of the sedimentation tank 5 is connected to the top of the slurry tank 6 via a second screw pump 3. The slurry tank 6 is equipped with a heating coil 7 inside. The outlet of the heating coil 7 is connected to the inlet of the heating coil 7 via a pipe via a water storage tank 8, a water pump 9, and a hot air furnace 10, forming a hot water circulation pipeline.
[0017] Furthermore, the bottom of the side wall of the sedimentation tank 5 is provided with a first circulation pipe 11 connected to the homogenizing pump 4, forming a circulation pipe between the homogenizing pump 4 and the sedimentation tank 5. The first circulation pipe 11 is also provided with a valve body for controlling the on and off.
[0018] Furthermore, the pipeline between the first screw pump 2 and the homogenizing pump 4 is also provided with a second circulation pipeline 12 connected to the top of the raw material tank 1, forming a circulation pipeline between the raw material tank 1 and the first screw pump 2. The second circulation pipeline 12 is provided with a valve body for controlling the on and off.
[0019] Furthermore, the pipeline between the raw material tank 1 and the first screw pump 2 is also provided with a first branch pipeline 13 connected to the second screw pump 3, and the pipeline between the second screw pump 3 and the slurry tank 6 is also provided with a second branch pipeline 14 connected to the top of the sedimentation tank 5. Both the first branch pipeline 13 and the second branch pipeline 14 are provided with valves for controlling the on / off state.
[0020] Furthermore, a third branch pipe 15 is opened on the second circulation pipe 12 and connected to the top of the thickened slurry tank 6. The third branch pipe 15 is equipped with a valve body for controlling the on / off state.
[0021] Furthermore, valves for controlling the on / off state are provided between the first screw pump 2 and the homogenizing pump 4, between the sedimentation tank 5 and the second screw pump 3, and between the second screw pump 3 and the thickening tank 6.
[0022] Furthermore, both the sedimentation tank 5 and the slurry tank 6 are equipped with level gauges on their side walls for monitoring the liquid level.
[0023] Furthermore, a cleaning pipe 16 is provided on the pipe between the water pump 9 and the hot air furnace 10.
[0024] Furthermore, an exhaust pipe 17 is provided on the pipe between the hot air furnace 10 and the water inlet of the heating coil 7.
[0025] The operation process of the above system is as follows: A portion of the raw material in raw material tank 1 is pressurized by the first screw pump 2 and then pumped into the sedimentation tank 5 by the homogenizing pump 4 for sedimentation. The remaining portion is pumped back to raw material tank 1 by the first screw pump 2 for circulation. Part of the material in the sedimentation tank 5 is circulated through the first circulation pipe 11 and the homogenizing pump 4. The solid material in the sedimentation tank 5 settles in the conical part, which is equipped with a pipe for discharging sediment. The sediment is cleaned regularly. Most of the supernatant is pumped into the thickening tank 6 by the second screw pump 3 and then sent to the subsequent drying tower for drying after being heated by the heating coil 7. The remaining supernatant is pumped back into the sedimentation tank 5 through the second branch pipe 14 for circulation. When the homogenizing pump 4 is damaged, the valve between the first screw pump 2 and the homogenizing pump and the valve on the discharge pipe of the sedimentation tank 5 are closed. The material in the raw material tank 1 is directly circulated and pumped into the thickening tank 6 through the first screw pump 2, the second circulation pipe 12 and the third branch pipe 15.
