EXTRUSION GELATINIZATION DEVICE AND SYSTEM
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to food processing, in particular to an extrusion gelatinization device and system.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART Extrusion technology is a technology that integrates multiple independent operations such as mixing, conveying, heating, cooking and pressurizing, and widely applied to food processing. For example, in some starch-based foods, the starch-based material is first concocted with water to obtain a wet material containing a certain amount of moisture, and then enters the screw extruder for convergent extrusion and gelatinization, or is steamed and gelatinized in advance before entering the extruder and then enters the extruder to be gelatinized and formed .
The existing extrusion gelatinization device mostly uses single-screw or twin-screw, with its process that can generally be divided into three stages. The first stage is the material conveying stage, where after entering the extrusion gelatinization device, the material is conveyed forward under the friction force caused by continuously rotating screw. The second stage is the gelatinization stage, where with temperature and pressure rising and under such function as material being extruded and sheared by a screw and a gelatinization cavity, the material is gradually gelatinized. The third stage is the discharging stage, where with temperature further rising and starch, fat, protein and the like changing and reacting, and the materials are uniformly discharged through the mould channel. Based on the above three stages, in order to achieve a better gelatinization, the current extrusion gelatinization device generally adopts such method as increase the length of the extrusion spiral or the diameter of the extrusion gelatinization cavity, but this mothed requires higher energy consumption, as well as such extrusion gelatinization device’s heat is mainly derived from shearing friction and external function gelatinization, so heating is too single. For some starch-based extruded products, when the output increases, the product gelatinization will be insufficient, ultimately affecting 1
BL-5232 product quality. For example, in the processing of extruding rice flour, the current production capacity is only 200kg/h. If increasing the production capacity, the product’s gelatinization will be drastically reduced, resulting in a sharp drop in product quality.

An extrusion gelatinization system according to the invention which includes a rotation driving mechanism, a steam source and an above-mentioned extrusion gelatinization device.
The rotation driving mechanism is in transmission connection with the driving segment, and is used to drive the screw to rotate,
BL-5232 “The steam source is in dynamic sealing communication with the driving segment, and is used to deliver steam to the inner cavity of the screw, The steam source is further connected to the steam inlet of the heating cavity, and is used to deliver high-pressure steam into the heating cavity.
Embodiment 1: As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.2, this embodiment provides an extrusion gelatinization device, which is mainly used for the extruding and gelatinizing starch-based materials. It includes: a base 4, a heating cavity 1, an extrusion cavity 2 and a screw 3.
The heating cavity 1 fixed on the base 1 is a hollow sandwiching heating cavity and has a steam inlet and a steam outlet. The steam enters the heating cavity 1 from the steam inlet to indirectly heat the materials in the extrusion cavity 2, then flows back to the source of steam to save energy via the pipe connected to the steam outlet.
The extrusion cavity 2 is the inner cavity of the heating cavity 1, which is formed by the inner wall of the heating cavity 1. The extrusion cavity 2 has a feeding opening 21 and a discharging opening 22 which are separately arranged on both ends of the extrusion cavity 2 along the axial direction of the screw 3 and extend out of the heating cavity 1.
The screw 3 has a hollow structure and can rotate in a circumferential direction, and includes a driving segment and an operating segment, the operating segment is located in the extrusion cavity 2, used for matching with the cavity wall of the extrusion cavity 2 when the screw 3 rotates, so as to extrude and gelatinize material while conveying the material from the feeding opening 21 to the discharging opening 22, the driving segment extends out of the extrusion cavity 2 and has an opening on its end for leading to an external steam source and connecting with an external rotation driving mechanism, the operating segment is provided with a through hole 33 for steam to escape into the extrusion cavity 2.
Thus, the extrusion gelatinization screw 3 is set as a hollow structure connected to the steam source by forming the extrusion cavity 2 in the heating cavity 1,after high pressure steam is injected into the heating cavity 1 and the hollow screw, the high-pressure steam in the heating cavity 1 indirectly heats the material in the extrusion cavity 2. The steam entering the screw is sprayed from the through the hole 33 on the screw and enters the extrusion cavity 2 to directly heat the material. The material in the extrusion cavity 2 can be greatly uniformly heated at a 6
BL-5232 very high heating rate under function of the above-mentioned double-layered steam. Therefore, under multiple function of steam gelatinization, shearing gelatinization and rotating friction gelatinization, the material's gelatinization per unit flow is greatly increased, so this device can increase the production capacity without increasing the length of the screw and the volume of the extrusion barrel, while ensuring the material’s gelatinization.
Specifically, the external rotation driving mechanism may include a motor and a gear deceleration transmission mechanism. The motor is put in the transmission connection with the input gear of the gear deceleration transmission mechanism, and then the driving segment is put in transmission connection with the output gear of the gear deceleration transmission mechanism, therefore, the screw can be driven to rotate when the motor is started.
Then, the end of the driving segment of the screw 3 is connected to an external steam source through a pipe, and the driving segment is in dynamic sealing connection with the pipe, so that the screw can rotate relative to the steam connection pipe and ensure the steam not to leak.
A steam pressure control valve is provided in the front segment of the steam inlet, which can adjust the pressure of the steam passing through the heating cavity 1.
In this embodiment, the operating segment includes a rod body and a spiral blade. The spiral blade is provided on the outer wall of the rod body and includes a first spiral blade and a second spiral blade.
The first spiral blade has an extrusion spiral structure, which is used for conveying materials while the screw 3 rotates and extruding the materials to help to gelatinize the materials. The first spiral blade includes a plurality of first spiral blade segments 31 distributed on the rod body.
The second spiral blade has a blade spiral structure, which is used for conveying materials while the screw 3 rotates and shearing the materials to help to gelatinize the materials. The second spiral blade includes a plurality of second spiral blade segments 32 distributed on the rod body.
A plurality of first spiral blade segments 31 and a plurality of second spiral blade segments 32 are alternately arranged on the rod along the conveying direction of the material.
Thus, the starch-based materials in the extrusion cavity are processed under multiple 7
BL-5232 function of steam gelatinization, shearing gelatinization and rotating friction gelatinization, especially high-temperature steam is allowed to quickly combine with rice flour by rapidly shearing in organic combination with steam. Moreover, high-speed switching realizes extremely high energy transfer, thereby further increasing the material’s gelatinization per unit flow.
An extrusion spiral blade commonly used in the art may be adopted for the first spiral blade segment 31. The second spiral blade segment 32 may adopt a structure in which a cutting blade is fixed on the spiral blade body, so as to realize cutting the material in conveying into small particles while conveying material.
In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the rod body increases along the conveying direction of the material, preferably increases at length-diameter ratio of 20:1, and the distance between the crest of the spiral blade and the inner wall of the extrusion cavity 2 is consistent along the conveying direction of the material.
In this embodiment, the pitch of screw and profile height of the first spiral blade are sequentially decreased along the conveying direction of the material.
In this embodiment, the pitch of screw and profile height of the second spiral blade are sequentially decreased along the conveying direction of the material.
That is, in the case that the distance between the crest of the spiral blade and the inner wall of the extrusion cavity 2 is ensured to be consistent along the conveying direction of the material, making sure that the materials can be transferred smoothly without jamming and the like, the screw operating segment is set as a special-shaped screw segment with gradually increasing diameter and gradually decreasing pitch of screw and profile height of crest, so as to make the front operating segment function as a role of mixing and conveying materials, so the second spiral blade with shearing blades in the screw cut the material in conveying into small particles, which quickly contact with the sprayed high-pressure steam to help to gelatinize the material in the conveying stage. As the diameter of the screw increases, the pitch of screw and the profile height of crest decrease, and the material conveyed to the rear end of the screw enters a small spiral flow channel with sufficient friction, so as to be thoroughly matured and gelatinized, ensuring the material’s gelatinization under large capacity.
In this embodiment, the head of the first spiral blade segment 31 is provided on the most front segment of the rod body along the conveying direction of the material, and the 8
BL-5232 corresponding rod body length is 1/5 - 1/4 of the entire operating segment. After the material enters, it is initially gelatinized at this stage and gradually pushed back into the subsequent extrusion stage.
Preferably, the segment sum of the first spiral blade segment 31 and the second spiral blade segment 32 is 5-7. The first spiral blade 31 extrudes and pushes the material, so that the material is gradually gelatinized under function of the extrusion force and friction force. The second spiral blade 32 rapidly shears the material to cut the material into fine gel particles, which are heated by the steam sprayed from the screw hole, and are quickly gelatinized under function of the screw's extrusion and friction. The given gelatinization can be reached under the condition of high capacity at 5-7 segments.
In this embodiment, the through hole 33 is provided with multiple through holes which are arranged in an array on the front segment of the rod body along the conveying direction of the material. The length of the rod body with through holes is 1/3-1/2 of the entire operating segment. The high-pressure steam flowing into the hollow structure of the screw is sprayed out from the through hole at high speed during the screw-operating periods to quickly and efficiently gelatinize starch-based materials in combination with the forces at front segment such as extrusion and friction.
In this embodiment, the discharging opening 22 is an inverted U-shaped tube, and the length of the inverted U-shaped tube in the heating cavity is 1/3-1/2 of the inverted U-shaped tube, so as to further gelatinize and preserve heat. The remaining inverted U-shaped outlet is exposed to the air to quickly cool down and help to increase the viscosity of starch-based gel, which is conducive to subsequent extrusion moulding.
In the embodiment, the steam pressure delivered from the steam source is 0.4-0.7Mpa. The temperature of the heating cavity 1 is controlled at 135-160°C by controlling the high-pressure steam pressure, and every doubling the production capacity from 60-960kg/h increases the steam pressure by 0.1Mpa, which improves the gelatinization efficiency by 10-20 times compared with the same extrusion device.
The practice has shown that the extrusion gelatinization device of this embodiment has the advantages such as reasonable structure, high extrusion strength, long service life, stable performance, uniform gelatinization and high productivity.
