Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of coating and granulation equipment, specifically relating to a granulation equipment for coating vitamin powder with isomaltitol. Background Technology

[0002] In many fields such as food, health products, and pharmaceuticals, it is often necessary to coat the core ingredients to improve the taste, stability, and solubility of products. For example, in the production of vitamin-related products, coating vitamin powder with isomaltitol not only masks any unpleasant odors that vitamins may have, but also improves the uniformity and stability of the product's sweetness, providing consumers with a better product experience. The key equipment for achieving this coating process is a coating machine, a specialized device that can evenly coat the surface of granules or powders with coating material to form a dense coating layer. In the case of vitamin powder coated with isomaltitol... Isomalt plays an irreplaceable role in the granulation process of isomalt. Currently, the common traditional coating machines on the market mainly consist of a coating tank, a hot air system, a spray system, and a transmission system. Its working principle is roughly as follows: the isomalt granules to be coated and the vitamin powder coating liquid are placed in the coating tank. The transmission system drives the coating tank to rotate, causing the granules to tumble continuously inside the tank. At the same time, the spray system sprays the coating liquid evenly onto the surface of the granules, and the hot air system introduces hot air at a suitable temperature into the coating tank to accelerate the drying and solidification of the coating liquid, thereby forming a uniform coating layer on the surface of the granules and completing the granulation process.

[0003] However, existing traditional coating machines have a prominent problem in actual use: the coating tank lacks an effective cleaning structure. During the coating process, some components in the coating solution, as well as vitamin powder, may adhere to and accumulate on the inner wall of the coating tank. With prolonged use and an increase in production batches, this accumulated dirt gradually thickens. On the one hand, the presence of dirt affects the hygiene inside the coating tank, potentially breeding bacteria and other microorganisms, posing a potential threat to product quality and safety, and failing to meet the strict production hygiene standards of the food, health product, and pharmaceutical industries. On the other hand, dirt alters the smoothness of the inner wall of the coating tank, affecting the tumbling motion of particles within the tank, leading to uneven spraying of the coating solution and inconsistent coating thickness in the final product, reducing product quality stability. Moreover, because traditional coating machines lack a dedicated cleaning structure, cleaning the inner wall of the coating tank becomes extremely difficult, usually requiring manual labor and tools for tedious wiping and scraping, which not only consumes a lot of manpower and time but may also affect subsequent production due to incomplete cleaning. Therefore, this utility model proposes a granulation device for coating isomaltitol with vitamin powder. Utility Model Content

[0023] Also includes

[0024] The scraper mechanism 5 installed on the hot air duct 3 includes a movable base sleeve 51 movably fitted on the surface of the hot air duct 3, a support column 52 welded and fixed to the left side of the movable base sleeve 51, a movable rod 53 movably installed at the bottom end of the support column 52, a movable bottom rod 54 welded and fixed to the bottom surface of the movable rod 53, and a movable scraper 55 fixed to the bottom surface of the movable bottom rod 54. Subsequently, the movable base sleeve 51 can be slid down, causing the movable scraper 55 to fit against the inner wall of the coating tank 2. Then, the coating machine can be started normally, and the coating tank 2 can be rotated to effectively clean the tank wall using the movable scraper 55. After cleaning, the movable base sleeve 51 can be slid up again, so that the scraper mechanism 5 can slide up to the top of the coating tank 2. Alternatively, the movable base sleeve 51 can be slid up continuously to the top of the hot air duct 3, so that the scraper mechanism 5 is directly at the top of the coating tank 2, which facilitates subsequent maintenance work inside the coating tank 2. This makes the position of the scraper mechanism 5 relatively flexible and adjustable.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, an inner groove 59 is provided inside the bottom end of the support column 52, and an inner slider 58 is slidably arranged in the inner groove 59. The top end of the movable rod 53 passes through the inner groove 59 and is fixed to the inner slider 58, so that the movable rod 53 can move up and down smoothly at the bottom of the support column 52. A spring 56 is also sleeved on the surface of the movable rod 53 between the support column 52 and the movable bottom rod 54. Under the pushing of the spring 56, the movable scraper 55 can maintain elastic contact with the inner wall of the coating tank 2 during the subsequent cleaning process.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the bottom end of the spring 56 abuts against the movable bottom rod 54, and the top end of the spring 56 abuts against the support column 52.

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the surface of the movable base sleeve 51 is threaded with a locking bolt 57, and the surface of the hot air pipe 3 is provided with two bolt grooves 32 for the locking bolt 57 to be screwed into. The threaded end of the locking bolt 57 is screwed into one of the bolt grooves 32 to achieve stable positioning of the movable base sleeve 51. Subsequently, the locking bolt 57 is rotated counterclockwise so that the threaded end of the locking bolt 57 is screwed out of the bolt groove 32 in the initial position. Then, the movable base sleeve 51 is moved down so that the movable scraper 55 is in contact with the inner wall of the coating tank 2. Then, the locking bolt 57 is rotated clockwise so that the threaded end of the locking bolt 57 can be screwed into the other bolt groove 32. This completes the stable positioning of the movable base sleeve 51 after it slides down, ensuring the positional stability of the movable base sleeve 51.

[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, an anti-detachment ring 31 is welded and fixed to the bottom surface of the hot air pipe 3, and the anti-detachment ring 31 is located at the bottom of the bolt groove 32, which can prevent the movable base sleeve 51 from falling directly off the bottom of the hot air pipe 3 when it slides down.

[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, a threaded hole is provided through the surface of the movable base sleeve 51 for the locking bolt 57 to rotate and twist.

[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the bottom curvature of the movable scraper 55 matches the curvature of the inner wall of the coating tank 2, thereby increasing the fit between the movable scraper 55 and the inner wall of the coating tank 2.
