The application relates to a soluble silk
fibroin pellet quick-freezing, separating and collecting device. The device comprises a low-
temperature treatment tank, an external heat preservation tank, a feeding
assembly, a separating
assembly and an
electric control system. The low-
temperature treatment tank is nested in the external heat preservation tank and is adiabatic; the feeding
assembly is arranged between a top cover plate and an adiabatic plate and comprises a material feeding
pipe, a
liquid nitrogen feeding
pipe and a
recovery pipe; a
liquid drop pipe is arranged in the material pipe and is provided with a heating device arranged inside the
liquid drop pipe to prevent freezing; liquid drops fall through the adiabatic plate into
liquid nitrogen to be quickly frozen into small balls. The parameters of a stirring
paddle can be adjusted to control the particle
diameter, and a
peristaltic pump and the specification of the drop pipe are used to control the size. The quick-frozen mixture flows into a separating tank through a low-temperature
electromagnetic valve, small balls are intercepted by a screen, and
liquid nitrogen is recycled. The
electric control system is used for regulating and controlling stirring, the
electromagnetic valve and
heating power. The device can ensure resolubility through low shear
quick freezing, the quick-frozen mixture can be freeze-dried in less than 24 hours due to the high specific surface area of the small balls, the cost is reduced through liquid
nitrogen circulation, and the flux and particle
diameter can be controlled through multi-parameter adjustment, so that the device is suitable for the preparation of silk
fibroin and composite materials.
