Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soy sauce production technology, specifically to an energy-saving brine mixing tank for soy sauce production. Background Technology

[0002] In soy sauce production, brine preparation is a crucial process that directly impacts the quality and fermentation results. Traditional brine preparation tanks typically use direct heating or steam heating to raise the brine to the required temperature to ensure sufficient salt dissolution and meet the requirements for subsequent fermentation. However, these methods suffer from high energy consumption, low heating efficiency, and imprecise temperature control, increasing production costs and potentially affecting the uniformity and stability of the brine due to temperature fluctuations.

[0003] While existing energy-saving brine mixing tanks have improved energy consumption to some extent, they still have many shortcomings. For example, some equipment relies on electric heating or steam heat exchange, resulting in low thermal energy utilization and a lack of effective waste heat recovery systems; some tanks have poor insulation performance, leading to significant heat loss. Furthermore, the unreasonable design of the stirring structure in traditional mixing tanks can lead to uneven brine mixing, further affecting production efficiency and product quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of energy-saving brine mixing tank that optimizes heating methods, improves insulation performance, and refines the stirring structure to achieve a more efficient and stable brine mixing process.
