Ultrasonic technology has entered diversified development
Ultrasonic is a high-frequency sound wave with good directionality and strong penetrating ability. It can be used for cutting, polishing, cleaning, crushing, sterilization, and other processes such as speeding up dispersion, homogenization, and emulsification. At present, ultrasonic technology has been widely used in food equipment manufacturing and food processing industries. It not only optimizes conventional food equipment, makes the equipment better meet the needs of high-quality production, but also drives the development of the industry, drawing the development of the food industry New blueprint. In food production and processing, processes such as washing, slicing, crushing, and homogenization are usually involved. Cleaning is mainly to remove soil, hair and other contaminants from materials to ensure the safety of subsequent food production and processing; slicing is to cut and split some products to achieve multiple shapes of products to meet the needs of process production ; Crushing, processing materials with larger diameters into granular materials with smaller diameters to meet the needs of subsequent processing; homogenization is to make the materials more uniformly mixed with each other.
Nowadays, with the rapid development of the food industry, equipment dedicated to cleaning, slicing, crushing, and homogenizing processes has appeared on the market, such as washing machines, slicers, grinders, and homogenizers. Welcome. However, as the market has more and more stringent requirements for product processing quality, it also places high requirements on conventional food processing equipment, such as cleaning machines that remove dirt on the surface of materials while improving cleaning efficiency while avoiding product damage. In addition, when cutting food, the slicer must ensure that the cutting size is accurate, the appearance is beautiful, and no corners are generated, which reduces the waste of raw materials and saves a certain cost. In the food homogenization process, the homogenizer is required to mix the materials more uniformly, so as to stabilize the product quality, improve the flavor and taste and quality, and at the same time increase the nutrient absorption rate of foods, such as dairy products and baby food Wait. Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, the integration of ultrasonic technology into food equipment has significant advantages.
Take the ultrasonic cleaner and ultrasonic slicer as examples. The ultrasonic cleaning machine generates shock waves when the bubbles are closed, and thousands of atmospheres are generated around them, which can effectively destroy the insoluble dirt carried by the materials and make them dispersed in the cleaning fluid. When the group particles are wrapped in oil and adhere to the cleaning On the surface of the parts, the dirt is threshed in time to achieve the effect of cleaning and purification. More importantly, as the frequency is adjusted, the cavitation bubbles become smaller, and the energy released by them decreases, so that the damage to the surface of the material can be reduced. For the ultrasonic microtome, the same as the ultrasonic cleaner, the ultrasonic technology is adopted. The difference is that the machine is equipped with a multi-axis standard control system, which can be used for slicing and circular cutting of food. Due to the good directionality of ultrasound, the slicing accuracy is high. You only need to set the ultrasonic parameters and other working speed and angle parameters to ensure that the size of the food is uniform, the appearance is beautiful, and the cutting efficiency is improved, the corner waste is reduced, and the raw materials are saved. Only in this way, according to technical personnel, the ultrasonic technology can cause interaction between the particles of the material and liquid, which will cause the temperature of the liquid to rise suddenly, emulsify the two immiscible liquids, and accelerate the dissolution of the solute. In addition, even large and uneven materials can be evenly mixed with each other, thereby improving product stability. Nowadays, the ultrasonic homogenizer has become one of the indispensable equipment in the production of food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical and other processing enterprises
